"What If They Backbite You"
When someone backbites, slanders, or wrongs us, the first step we should take is to forgive them. Here’s a guide on how to approach such situations:
1. Forgiveness First:
When someone speaks ill of us or commits any wrongdoing against us, our immediate reaction should be to forgive them.
Forgiving does not mean condoning their actions but choosing not to hold a grudge.
2. Trust in Allah’s Justice:
We should remember that Allah is Most Just.
Even if the wrongdoer does not apologize, Allah’s punishment will still reach them.
Our act of forgiveness earns us rewards from Allah.
3. Apology and Accountability:
The only way for the wrongdoer to escape punishment is by apologizing to us.
If they fail to apologize, they are still held accountable by Allah, despite our forgiveness.
4. Being Magnanimous:
It is crucial for us to be generous in spirit and overlook the faults of others.
This magnanimity helps us grow spiritually and maintain inner peace.
In summary, forgiving those who wrong us not only benefits us by earning divine rewards but also leaves the justice to Allah. The wrongdoer remains accountable unless they seek forgiveness, ensuring that justice is served either way.
