now one might say you know you are talking to us about forgiving and the benefits of forgiving and
telling us so many thing but it's hard in real life it's hard it's difficult how can i this
man did this to me that that woman did this to me my wife did this my this person did that and
so on wallahi I tell you for this reason Allah Subhanahu WA Ta'ala has sent us the example of
Rasul Allah Allah Allah Allah he forgave so many times sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he forgave
people who we would not be able to forgive easily in PI if they were throwing stones at
him subhanAllah he was bleeding the most blessed droplets of blood to be created were being spilt
the angels come to him they tell him that if you instruct us we can destroy these people what does
he say Allah will echo me for in Nachum lie on the moon one is to forgive them but two is to
make dua for their forgiveness because you are worried what Allah will do to them Allah Akbar
are you following one is for me to say brother I forgive you but he is most beloved to Allah
so he knows that perhaps Allah will punish them so instead of saying oh Allah I forgive them he
says o Allah please forgive them they don't know what they're doing subhanAllah imagine
your enemy does something against you never mind your enemy your beloved wife your loving
husband he did something and you say oh Allah forgive him Subhan Allah oh Allah forgive her
that is more powerful than even saying I forgive you it's one step further so you want to know
what the prophet sallallaahu salam did to his enemies well here it is he could have crushed
them so the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in five he made it to offer them and keresh when
the prophet sallallaahu Selim came to them with a whole army when the listen very carefully because
this is absolutely important for you to understand Islam and how allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala his mercy
comes before everything else and how the prophet muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says boy to
me you tell me mama Karim Allah Allah I was sent in order to complete good character beautiful
conduct in the verse Allah says o ma arsalnaka in metal in Allah mean we have not sent you for any
purpose besides being a source of mercy for al al-amin the whole world's the world's we
have sent you as a mercy for them so what did he do he marched on to Makkah for the victory
of Makkah with an army that Quraysh would never be able to face and this was the superpower of
the time and then he had them all and he could do whatever he wanted to them he could do it he did
not choose to execute them he did not say right let's separate the Muslims from the non-muslims
and let's kill all these non-muslims and even the Muslims who don't belong to my little small group
kill them off like what people are doing today in the name of Islam claiming that they are the
rulers of the Muslims across the globe they are doing precisely the opposite of what Muhammad
sallallaahu Salim did he looked at perish who were the enemies who have killed the Muslims who have
you served their land who committed atrocity of the atrocity who did the worst of crimes worse
than anyone can think of the what did they do to be landed Nora Baha they allow and what did they
do to Somalia and what did they do to Al I asked him what did they do to the Companions what did
they do to all of them everything was fresh in the minds and the hearts of the Muslim in but
the Prophet sallallaahu salaam says yeah mushakraj mother todo noona and eva even become or people of
courage what do you think I'm going to do to you today you know the crimes you've committed you
know how bad you were you know what you've done they were not Muslim these were Mussolini worse
than the Jews and Christians they were motioning subhanallah of Mecca why I say worse is because
they perpetrated linnaeus crimes against the muslimeen they were looking they were memory
they were hoping they were worried they did not know what to expect and the prophet sallallaahu
Salim says to them the famous statement I tell you today what my brother Yusuf Joseph may peace
be upon him told his brothers if Abu falaqa go today you are free no retribution against you
today go Subhan Allah and we have people who read this and they still commit atrocities in the name
of the same man who did this and they still think that that's Islam and they still think that they
are the leaders of the Muslims across the globe and they still threaten and want to kill anyone
who says that what they are doing is wrong is that islam which prophet are you following which
example are you following here was a man who had a huge army and those who killed his own relatives
were in front of him and he decided to forgive all of them do you think he did that on his own
it was the instruction of Allah it is inspired by Allah it is revealed by Allah he is the Messenger
of Allah in order to teach us how to live in order to teach us that when you have an enemy
your aim should not be to kill him but rather to teach him and to guide him and to ask Allah for
his guidance so that at least if you were to be used to guide him perhaps you would achieve a lot
this is the forgiveness
