\u201cTo err is human but to forgive is divine,\u201d is an old adage. If men start taking revenge for each and every small mistakes and wrongs done by others to them, then peace, love and affection and harmony of the world would be lost forever. It is in the nature of man to commit mistakes but to repent in leisure is also second nature of man. Since it is human to fall in error and commit a folly therefore it becomes incumbent on every individual to forgive by overlooking the mistakes and wrongs of others. Patience and fortitude should be exercised to a great extent to achieve the desired goal of peace of mind and happiness in life. If we keep harboring grudge against our fellowmen for wrongs committed by them against us, then it is sure way to lose peace of mind and happiness forever. Instead we need to develop magnanimity and largeheartedness to forgive all and silly mistakes and wrongs of others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A question posed is as to whether\nserious crimes committed against individuals or against the society should also\nbe forgiven? It is not so, it would lead to lawlessness and breakdown of law\nand order and also disturb the peace and tranquility of the society. In such\ncircumstances, therefore law takes its own course. Society has laid down rules\nand regulations for punishing suitably the wrong doers. One should also do\nintrospection before prosecuting any individual by seeking justice against a\nlaw breaker and wrong doer. Such a person maybe your own kith and kin. In such\ncircumstances, it may break the family bonds and filial relationship.\nCompromise and compounding of offences are provided in law. There would be\numpteen instances when wrong doer in a fit of emotions, anger and in passion\nwould commit a wrong, a sin or a crime but would definitely not have an\nintention to harm the injured person. Intention plays an important part in such\ncircumstances to determine the gravity of such offences. It is in such\ncircumstances law requires for pardoning the wrong doer or giving less punitive\npunishment than incarnation or corporal punishment. If the wrong doer comes\nforward to compensate the wrong committed by adequate and full monetary\ncompensation or undertakes to do good and charitable works to atone his sin then\nsuch wrong doers are required to be pardoned by exercising magnanimity and\nlarge heartedness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
All wrongs are not punishable\nlike jeers, taunts, criticism and insults. It may cause deep hurt and this\nwould be a cause to bear a grudge and rancor. This is an occasion to exercise\nrestraint and to pardon such foolish and silly persons, for they have committed\nwrongs without knowing its ramifications. To ignore such vain talks of others\nand exercise silence is a better proposition for maintaining healthy relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Allah and His Prophet (SAS) have\nagain and again assured of forgiveness and clemency to sinners and wrongdoers\non their seeking pardon and forgiveness. Holy Prophet (SAS) was troubled by his\nenemies throughout his Prophethood but he kept forgiving his enemies including\nhis staunchest enemy Abu Sufian. \u201cForgive them for they know not what wrong\nthey do,\u201d he would advice his followers.\n\nSelf\nrealization may dawn on the wrong doers and they would realize their mistakes\nand seek to amend for their wrongs and would patch up the relationships by\nseeking friendship and by strengthening it by good deeds. Therefore every\nindividual needs t do introspection and should develop large heartedness, broad\nmindedness, love and affection to forget and forgive the wrongs of fellowmen,\nkith and kin so as to achieve \u2018As-sakina\u2019 in their hearts i.e. eternal peace,\nsolace and bliss in this life and in the life hereafter.\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
