1a. "Let them Forgive and Overlook"

1a.
We beg Allah to forgive our transgressions, our faults when we are
entirely at fault; can we not forgive pettier mistakes directed atus!?
There will, of course, always be times when forgiving may seem the
hardest pill to swallow. It may sometimes seem impossible to simply
dispense with all the frustration and anger and move on. We may be
morewilling to move a mountain than forgive a person who has wronged
us, to overlook his insults, to overcome our bad feelings. Abu Bakr,
radi-Allahu anhu, despite being faced with attacks that were entirely
unprovoked, did not hesitate to forgive once he was enlightened with
the virtues of forgiveness. In his zeal, he produced the most sublime
example of forgiving, in response to one of the most vicious attacks
perpetrated.
As differences and conflicts arise and pollute the atmosphere, there
needs tobe this window present to ventilate it. The window makes it
possible to blow away the charged feelings and allow fresh air in
one's life. It may be hard to openit and push it back along itsrusty
railings. But we must remember, that this very window is the same
window which has been promised to lead to the forgiveness and mercy of
Allah Himself.
