Repel Evil With Good

Assalaamu alaykum

Dear Friends

I pray that you are well.

If you think it is difficult to walk away when someone insulted you or said bad things about you, how about showing kindness to that person? Even harder, correct? But repel evil with good. That is better for you.

Allah Almighty says,

وَلَا تَسْتَوِى ٱلْحَسَنَةُ وَلَا ٱلسَّيِّئَةُ ۚ ٱدْفَعْ بِٱلَّتِى هِىَ أَحْسَنُ فَإِذَا ٱلَّذِى بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَهُۥ عَدَٰوَةٌ كَأَنَّهُۥ وَلِىٌّ حَمِيمٌ ﴿٣٤

And not equal are the good deed and the bad. Repel [evil] by that [deed] which is better; and thereupon the one whom between you and him is enmity [will become] as though he was a devoted friend. (34)

[Qur'an Fussilat 41:34]

The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wassallam said, “Deal with people on the basis of good character,” [Tirmidhi] and he also said that, “Forbearance is the very best of character.”

May Allah grant us forbearance. Ameen

Please don't forget us in your night prayers. Jazakallahu khairan.

And Allah knows best.
Wassalaam
