"Do you not love that Allah should forgive you? And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful." This verse illuminates the profound connection between our ability to forgive and the mercy we seek from Allah Almighty ๐.
Our beloved Prophet Muhammad (SAW) has taught us an important lesson in this regard. In Tirmidhi, it is recorded that the merciful are shown mercy by the Ar-Rahman. Be merciful on the earth and you will be shown mercy from Him who is above in the heavens." ๐
