The following is an Islamic perspective on reconciliation after being victimized with injustice. It consists of 3 videos and a written answer from an eminent Islamic scholar.
Muslims should not hold grudges at all. This is especially true when the perpetrator is trying to make amends.
As stated by Mufti Ebrahim Desai:
Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) was sent as Rahmatu llil aalameen. This is professed in the biography of Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam).
The Kuffaar of Makkah tormented and tortured Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam). The beloved uncle of Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam), Hamza (Radhiallaahu Anhu), was killed and his body mutilated, yet Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) forgave the killer. We say that we are the followers of Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) and we love him. Thus, we should try to emulate his teachings. Forgive and forget except if one is hurting Deen. Remember well, one is not absolved of his evil except if he makes Tawbah and if it is someone else's right, then forgiveness must be sought from him or her.
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
