BismilLah.
Can anyone reading this reminder claims he or she does not make mistakes and fall short and does not wrong other people or transgress their rights to some extent? Each of us would like people to forgive us for all the wrongs we have done to them, isn't it?, so why wouldn't you forgive others who wrong you? Anyway, listen to what our Creator ALLAH may HE be exalted says in HIS Book, the Quran to forgive people and be patient with their annoyance:
“If [instead] you show some good or conceal it or pardon an offence, indeed, ALLAH is ever Pardoning and Competent”
[an-Nisaa’ 4:149]. Again, ALLAH says
“And whoever is patient and forgives, indeed, that is of the matters [requiring] determination”[ash-Shoora 42:43]. Again
“But if you pardon and overlook and forgive, then indeed, ALLAH is Forgiving and Merciful”[at-Taghaabun 64:14]. There are so many such verses.
This is something that is also mentioned a great deal in the Sunnah. Saheeh Muslim (4689) narrated from Abu Hurayrah that the Messenger of ALLAH (blessings and peace of ALLAH be upon him) said: “Charity does not decrease wealth. No one forgives, but ALLAH increases him in honour, and no one humbles himself before ALLAH, but ALLAH raises him in status.” ALLAHU AKBAR. From the few quotations stated above, would you not want to just pardon whoever has wronged you in any way NOW? Just act now, and at least text whoever you know who have wronged you that you have forgiven him or her hoping for ALLAH to forgive you too and cause others to forgive you also. For me from the bottom of my heart, I have forgiven whoever has wronged me in any way and seek forgiveness from whoever I have wronged. Of course, not just texting but should be from your heart too and mention it to ALLAH.
*_May ALLAH accept it from us all and forgive our shortcomings_*. Aameen.
