No need to apologise

Assalamualaikum warahmatullah wabarakatuh,

One day when the companions were sitting with the Prophet Muhammad (saw), came a man entering the mosque. The Prophet (saw) said that this man will be a member of the Paradise. One of the companions was curious and decided to stay with him for a few days to see what extra worships was he doing that guaranteed him such a high status in the life after death. For those days, he did not pray extra night prayers, he did not make voluntary fast and other special kind of worship, except those which are obligatory. He was puzzled. Later he realised that his secret was before he slept.

Every night, before the man went to sleep, he pardoned everyone. By his kindness in forgiving everyone that interacted with him, he is guaranteed a place in the Paradise.

If ALLAH is the Most Forgiving, how can we as HIS servant not even try to be forgiving to our fellow brothers and sisters? Even in the case of qisas, we are given 3 options in the Qur'an if someone killed a member of our family - kill the murderer only, demand blood money or forgive the murderer. And of course, forgiving is better than the rest as ALLAH is the Most Forgiving and will be the ultimate Judge on the Day of Judgement.

ALLAHU'alam.

Wassalam.
