بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

It hurts the most when the person who cut you is the one you once hugged. You never saw it coming from them. That is why the wound stays fresh for so long. Your mind keeps asking, "How could they?"

But here is a hard question:

Who is carrying that heavy box of anger right now?

Is it them?

No. They are sleeping well. You are the one who cannot rest. You are the one holding the hot coal.

Now,

I want to tell you something personal.

I have tested something for a while now, and by the power of Allah, it works. I want you to try it too. Just try it.

👉🏼Step 1: Remember your own mistakes.

Each time someone hurts you—no matter how deep the cut—quickly remember: "I also offend Allah (swt) many times, and HE still forgives me."

If Allah (swt) can forgive you over and over, can you not forgive this person just once?

👉🏼Step 2: Say this du'a with your heart.

I know it is hard. Sometimes, your heart does not want to let go. But force your heart. Say this with 100% sincerity:

"Ya Rabb, so so and so person has hurt me so much that my heart is bleeding from pain. But I have forgiven them. Only for Your sake. Only for You - Ya Allah."

Say it every time you see them.

Say it every time Shaytan brings the memory back.

Say it when you wake up.

Say it when you go to sleep.

Repeat it. Repeat it. Repeat it.

👉🏼Step 3: Fight Shaytan's whispers.

Shaytan will hate this. He will try everything to keep you angry. Yes. He will remind you of the hurt again and again. He wants you to lose the reward.

So each time the memory comes back, do not fight the memory. Fight the anger. Say this du'a again:

"Ya Rabb, I have forgiven them. Only for Your sake."

Keep saying it. I promise you, slowly, the pain will find its way out of your heart. It will leave. Not because you forgot—but because you healed.

But hear me clearly:

Letting go does not mean you forget the lesson.

Letting go does not mean you trust them 100% again.

You must remember. You must be careful. You must protect your heart and your trust for future occurrence.

But the poison inside you? The burning anger? The sleepless nights? Drop them.

A healed memory is not a deleted memory. You will remember what happened. But it will no longer control you. It will no longer hurt you. It will just be a lesson you walked away from.

My People,

You are not forgiving the people who hurt you because they deserve it. You are forgiving them because you deserve peace. You are forgiving them because Allah (swt) promises you unlimited reward. You are forgiving them because you want Allah (swt) to forgive you.

Do it for that giant scoop of reward waiting for you with Allah (swt).
