Acts of Forgiveness in Ramadhaan
Epi_07_03

Yusuf Chambers: So Dr. Zakir the month of forgiveness, Ramadhaan is upon us and Allah has recommended to be forgiving one another during this month. Can you explain more about that?

Dr. Zakir: This is a month of forgiveness and since we ask forgiveness from Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala), Allah has also recommended that we human beings, we should forgive others. And there are several verses in the Quran which have explained this in detail. If we read

Surah Ale Imran ch. No. 3 verse no. 134, Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala says that

“We should forgive, Allah likes those who do good deeds”

That means those who forgive, Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala likes them.

Allah says in Surah A’raaf ch. no. 7 verse no. 199 that

“Hold to forgiveness and enjoin what is right and go away from those who are ignorant”

Furthermore Allah says in Surah Nur ch. no. 24 verse no. 22, Allah says that

“And you should forgive. Wouldn’t you want that Allah should forgive you. Allah is oft Forgiving and most Merciful.”

Allah says in Surah Taghaabun ch. no. 64 verse no. 14 that

“Amongst your wives and children there are some who are your enemies but it will be better if you forgive them, you overlook their fault and you cover up their fault. Allah is oft Forgiving and most Merciful.”

So Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) is encouraging the Muslims and the believers that it is better if you forgive as many people as possible and Allah will forgive you. And we have the best examples in the Prophets of Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala).

We have the example in the life of Prophet Yusuf (Alaihe Salaam) where we know, Prophet Yusuf (peace be upon him) that his step brothers they had planned against him and they wanted to kill him...but Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala saves him and later on he is made the governor of Egypt and when finally all the brothers are at his mercy, Allah says that he said

It’s mentioned in the Quran in Surah Yusuf ch. no. 12 verse no. 92, he says that

“Let no reproach be cast on you and Allah is the one to forgive, He is merciful”

That means Yusuf (Alaihe Salaam), he forgives all his brothers and he says Allah is merciful.

We have the best example of forgiveness in the last and final messenger Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam)

Yusuf Chambers: (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam)

Dr. Zakir: During Fatah Makkah, when the Mushriks, when the pagans of Makkah, they killed many of his relatives, they had killed his uncle, thy had killed many of the Sahabas but when finally he had victory over them he forgave all of them.

And Allah says in the Quran in Surah Ahzaab ch. no. 33 verse no. 21 that

“Verily in the Prophet you have the most beautiful pattern of conduct”

and Allah says in Surah Fussilat ch. no. 41 verse no. 3, Allah says that

“Repel evil with good and you may never know the person in whose heart is hatred against you, you will find that he will become an intimate friend of yours”

That means repel evil with what is good. That is the best.

And Allah repeats the message in Surah Shooraa ch. no. 42 verse no. 37,

He speaks about those people that means the people of paradise

“Those are the people who avoid shameful deeds and avoid major sins and when they get angry, they forgive”...

So there are various verses in the Quran in which Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) gives guidance to us human beings that we should forgive the other people.
