[They were reprieved] until, when the Messengers gave up hope and
thought that they were denied [by their people], then came to them Our
Help… (Quran 12:110)
And we delivered him from the distress. And thus we do deliver the
believers. (Quran 21:88)
And you were harboring doubts about Allah. There, the believers were
tried and shaken with a mighty shaking. (Qur’an 33: 10-11)
We
often get hurt by ill-treatment and cruelty of our fellow beings. Or sometimes
we become the target of jealousy and rancor. In both cases we should neither
grief nor despair and adopt the strategy of forgiveness. We should rely on
Allah to help us with his infinite mercy. Allah has remedy and cure for every
type of ill-emotion.
[Those] who repress anger, and who pardon
men… (Qur’an 3: 134)
Show forgiveness, enjoin what is good, and turn away from the foolish
[i.e. don’t punish them].
(Qur’an 7. 199)
(Qur’an 7. 199)
Repel [the evil] with one which is better [i.e. Allah ordered the
faithful believers to be patient at the time of anger, and to excuse those who
treat them badly], then verily! He, between whom and you there was enmity [will
become] as though he was a close friend.
(Qur’an 41: 34)
(Qur’an 41: 34)
Do
not grieve over that which has passed you by in life, for indeed you have been
blessed with much. Similarly we should be thankful to Allah for hi many
blessings and bounties. Contemplate his many favors and gifts be thankful to
Him for them. Remind ourself of Allah’s many blessings, for Him, the Almighty,
said:
And if you would count the graces of Allah, never could you be able
to count them. (Qur’an 16: 18)
And [Allah] has completed and perfected His Graces upon you,
[both] apparent [i.e. Islamic Monotheism, and the lawful pleasures of this
world, including health, good looks, etc.] and hidden [i.e. One's Faith in
Allah (of Islamic Monotheism) knowledge, wisdom, guidance for doing righteous
deeds, and also the pleasures and delights of the Hereafter in Paradise, etc.].
(Qur’an 31: 20)
And whatever of blessings and good things you have, it is from
Allah. Then, when harm touches you, unto Him you cry aloud for help. (Qur’an
16: 53)
