00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,620
Allah the Exalted says:

2
00:00:02,620 --> 00:00:23,120
“The good deed and the evil deed are not alike. Repel the evil deed with one which is better, then lo! he, between whom and thee there was enmity (will become) as though he was a bosom friend.” (41:34)

3
00:00:24,489 --> 00:00:28,179
Ibn 'Atiyyah al-Andalusi, may Allah have mercy on him, said:

4
00:00:28,179 --> 00:00:33,179
This verse encompasses the noblest of character traits and all forms of forbearance.

5
00:00:33,179 --> 00:00:34,179
The meaning is:

6
00:00:34,179 --> 00:00:39,179
Handle your affairs and whatever you encounter from people and your interactions with them

7
00:00:39,179 --> 00:00:43,179
with the conduct and behavior that is best.

8
00:00:43,179 --> 00:00:45,210
Among these are offering the greeting of peace,

9
00:00:45,210 --> 00:00:47,210
refined manners,

10
00:00:47,210 --> 00:00:49,210
and suppressing one's anger.

11
00:00:49,210 --> 00:00:52,340
Ibn 'Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, said:

12
00:00:52,340 --> 00:00:55,340
If the believer practices these virtues,

13
00:00:55,340 --> 00:00:58,340
Allah the Exalted will protect him from Satan,

14
00:00:58,340 --> 00:01:01,340
and his enemy will become submissive to him.
