Advantages of Forgiving Others

Forgiving others who have wronged us is often the case that is not easy to do. Moreover, when mistakes are made is not simple. Naturally, we often wish there was a reply in kind  a mistake that has done it. Is there any advantage if we forgive others?

Each person must ever have had felt let down, betrayed, wronged by others. There is a sense of anger, disappointment, frustration and deep sadness especially if it is done by those we love, close friends, friends or confidants.

When you follow the desires, there is a feeling of injustice or want to reply to someone else's treachery. Or vent their anger on the person concerned. It was this sense of fairness and an already satisfying feeling angry and disappointed.

Feeling angry, frustrated and sad indeed only human. It is human nature will naturally feel all those feelings when let down, mistreated, abused, or wronged. In Islam, a person is entitled to avenge injustice / oppression of others with treatment accordingly. However, many times in the Qur'an also says that if a person chooses to forgive others, then that is even better.

Not only Muslims, but most of the religions of the world teach about forgiveness as a human nobility. Because the only people who recognize and understand human beings as full of flaws and mistakes can forgive others. Just a humble man who can gracefully forgive others. And the only man who has a very strong belief in God as the owner lives to forgive others.

When we are able to forgive others, it means we are able to deliver any matter to God. We are not too hurt or frustrated with the injustice or oppression of others. Because we believe that God is the most fair judge. Later goodness or badness every person will get the reward of each.

Let us ponder. Instead we indulged in anger, resentment and frustration prolonged, then we better forgive and paved heart. We can forgive and forget the mistakes of others and live in peace. Wise choice, is not it?

Making mistakes is a human. When we choose to forgive, then we actually enlarges our own hearts, freeing themselves from the hatred and suffering. Because we realize that only Allah is aware of and to God alone humans should rely and expect.
