"How can one earn His forgiveness & be rewarded by His Paradise?
There is a way for this-- It is to FORGIVE others.
Apply each night at bedtime; to pardon anyone who has insulted you.
and has spoken ill of you. In other words, cleanse this heart of anger, ency & hostility.
How much should you give way to feelings like envy, hatred, deceit, resentment, hatred & hostility? By Allah, how will peace be made with this heart?
You will be the victim of this before the punishment of the Hereafter.
You'll be the one that suffers & not the one you're upset with, or want to take revenge on...
As one of the Westerners, says:"Whoever carries hostilities with him, their toe furnaces the fire, and advances it to the chest. That oven than burn you."
We therefore need to forgive people, in hope that Allah forgive us. He says:"And when you accompany rage, then forgive..:
And Allah love the righteous.
Our life cannot bear to have a hostile attitude towards others.
A life full of hatred towards people results in living in a created prison, a punishment for man.
I want us, if we're lucky, to earn to forgiveness and Pradise of Allah.
So if there is someone who has wronged you, and has misbehaved in front of you..you then FORGIVE!
And you show mercy towards all Mslim men and women. And that you remember the rights of others which you forgot.
And alsi the rights to others you've met. If you will do this, you will experience peace and tranquility.
One of the scholars said:"When you go to bed, clean you heart - so to forgive 7 times, and the 8th time with mercy,
then say:"May Allah forgive all men. May Allah forgive those who have wronged us. May Allah guide us, and forgive who have midbehaved. May Allah be merciful to thse who have spoken ill of us.
May Allah forgive us, and every other Muslim. In other words, know the rights, so that the rewards of Allah will find you, and Allah treats people the way they treat His servants.
The one who forgive others and shows mercy, Allah forgives him and gives him favor. And the one who does not do this, Allah makes it difficult and troublesome for him on the Day of Judgement.
In that he(pbuh) said:"O Allah, the person who is entrusted of my community and shows mercy, be merciful to him. And the person who is entrusted of my community but makes it difficult for them, then make it difficult for him." You must therefore know that someone who does something, he is also met with it. What you do here, you will also find there (Hereafter)"
I would like to dedicate this to her who used to be my good friend.
