The Ramadan Daily Message


Vol. 5 Sept. 4th 2010/Ramadan 25th 1431 H No. 25
Forgive Others
The Prophet Muhammad (saws) said: Musa, the son of Imran once asked, "Oh my Lord! Who is the
most honorable of Your servants? And He replied, the person who forgives even when he is in a position of
power" (Baihaqi). Peace and blessings be upon the Prophet.
When you get into an argument(s) with a family member, friend, boss, employee, coworker,
classmate, teacher or whoever, you know your facts are right or that you've been wronged with an insulting
remark, sarcastic comment or rudeness. And so, you choose to hold a grudge. After all, you've got a right to.
Nobody should be treated this way. Why should you forgive? You're not the one who started this. You're not
the one who doesn't have the facts straight.
True. You may be right. You may be in that position of power mentioned in the Hadith above. But
forgiving others, apart from positively affecting our health (less stress) and our minds (one less negative
thing to focus on), is a necessary step to closeness to God. How can we move up the ladder of spiritual
development when we hold bitterness and anger towards another person? While we may have been in the
right, is it worth sacrificing our energy on a grudge instead of on growth?
Is there not something strange about asking for God's forgiveness of our sins while withholding our
forgiveness from someone who has hurt us? One of the distinguishing features of Ramadan is forgiveness.
The Prophet explained in one Hadith that Ramadan is a month whose beginning is Mercy, whose middle is
Forgiveness and whose end is freedom from the Hellfire. This makes it a great time to ask God for His
Forgiveness. It's also a wonderful time to open our hearts and cleanse them of grudges and bitterness by
forgiving others.
Let us use these remaining days of forgiveness this Ramadan to open our hearts to those who have
wronged us and forgive them as we beg Allah to forgive us.

Ramadan Competition (25)


It was reported in the Two Sahihs that the Messenger of Allah said: (Death will be brought forth in the
image of a fine ram. It will be made to stand between Paradise and Hell, and then it will be slaughtered. It
will be said, "O people of Paradise, it is eternal, no more death; and O people of Hell, it is eternal, no more
death.'')
Mention the name of Surah and the number of verse in the 25th chapter of the Quran with similar meaning.
