Is his magnificent forgiveness.
0:12
They caused him profound harm,
0:16
Drove him from his home,
0:18
Attacked his Companions,
0:20
Conspired against him,
0:22
And fought him on numerous occasions.
0:26
Yet Allah granted him victory over them,
0:28
Breaking their power and shattering their arrogance.
0:33
When he encountered them at the conquest of Makkah,
0:36
Forgiveness prevailed over vengeance,
0:39
Clemency over retribution,
0:42
And pardon over retaliation.
0:44
Through this, he attained honor and his nobility became manifest.
0:48
People were astonished by his character,
0:51
For he is the one who said:
0:53
"Allah increases a servant in nothing but honor through forgiveness."
0:58
They witness his words to them in the Seerah:
1:01
"Go, for you are the free ones."
1:05
He released them, set them free, and bestowed grace upon them.
1:10
Thus, the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, recorded
1:13
A historical stance without parallel,
1:16
Which is inscribed among the noble character traits.
1:19
Only those of great soul do such things,
1:24
Those who prioritize the hereafter over this world,
1:28
Who do not seek vengeance except for the sake of Allah,
1:31
Who prefer the call to faith over personal status,
1:34
And who strive for the pleasure of Allah, not His displeasure.
1:38
And Allah is the One whose help is sought.
1:40
Allah the Exalted says:
1:42
“The guerdon of an ill-deed is an ill the like thereof. But whosoever pardoneth and amendeth, his wage is the affair of Allah. Lo! He loveth not wrong-doers.” (42:40)
1:47
"But whoever pardons and makes reconciliation, his reward is [due] from Allah."
1:51
“The guerdon of an ill-deed is an ill the like thereof. But whosoever pardoneth and amendeth, his wage is the affair of Allah. Lo! He loveth not wrong-doers.” (42:40)
1:54
Among the things that assist in this
1:58
Is a sound heart, purified from all ailments,
2:02
Looking toward the hereafter and the greatness of Allah’s bounty,
2:07
Rising above the whims of the self,
2:10
And struggling to embody the character of the great,
2:13
And the Prophetic characteristics (Shama'il) of Islam.
2:16
And Allah is the Grantor of success.
