What Are The Boundaries Of Forgiveness And When Fighting Back Fard?
There are several verses of the Quran that encourage forgiveness (for example, 24:21-22 and 64:14) in hopes of gaining God’s favors and forgiveness. Getting even with someone who inflicted harm upon us has not been made impermissible, however the harm we inflict upon them in return can’t exceed what they inflicted upon us (16:126). If we understand the message of God in more of a holistic manner, it’s very evident that His test for us includes testing our patience. From experience we also know that the more patient we consciously become, the more contentment we achieve in our lives.
