If Allah Forgive? Why Friend not forgive

[Snowflake]

Greetings and peace Nadia Waheed;


We look at scriptures and we sincerely try and interpret them to the best of our ability with no malice intended, but is it ever possible to know how God reacts to our actions

In Christianity we believe that our judgement by God can depend on how we judge others. If we cannot forgive and judge others harshly then we will be judged harshly, and if we can forgive and judge others with kindness then we will be judged kindly.

We talk of God being all merciful and forgiving and I would hope that he forgives in a greater way than I can forgive others. I have to hope that God’s forgiveness does not depend on mans ability to forgive.

We should pray for each other that Our God may save us all

In the spirit of seeking interfaith friendship

Greetings and peace Brother Eric,

I can see your point brother but Islam not only has solutions to dissolve our sins but also to disuade us from them doing them in the first place.
If I knew I can wrong a person and then seek forgiveness from God, it may not have any major impact on me. I could continue knowing I'll be forgiven. However if I knew that Allah would not forgive me unless I'd been forgiven from the person I'd wronged first, this will make me think twice before wronging another person. Hope that makes sense.

In Islam, one of the four components of sincere repentence entails that one seek forgiveness from the person they have wronged. They may not necessarily recieve forgiveness from that individual, but Islamically they must seek it. So long as they seek forgiveness from that individual, sincerely, then we pray Allah swt forgives them.

MashaAllah Brother Ansar. Thank you for explaining it better than I did.

To be able to truly forgive is hard, often when someone has done something bad to you then you want it put right, you want justice. This is tough because justice is not always available to you, and I am thinking about the Palestinian and Iraqi people in particular.
Could this need to ask forgiveness be used in any way to help bring about peace in Iraq or Palestine?

i know what u mean brother, its very hard for them to forgive others because many people in iraq and palestine are suffering and their family is dead because of the opposition and its soooooo hard to forgive someone who killed someone from your own family
i find it hard to forgive someone who insults my family... but to forgive someone who killed them is a true test of faith
(my opinion)

We can never really know how we would react if someone killed one of our own family members, but in rare occasions it can happen, In England in the last couple of weeks a mother said on the news that she forgave the two men who killed her son with an axe in a racially motivated attack.

By her actions she has tested the conscience of all the white people in her area who do not like blacks.

Dear Sister

Thanks too much for reply me. You tell me good things. I agree with you. I know if my friend more then 3 days angry then Allah is also not like but i pray to Allah please forgive my friend and dont angry with my friend if my friend not forgive me.

That is exactly the point of forgiveness; you only need forgiving when you have done something wrong.
