The Holy Month of Ramadan is the perfect time to forgive others. List down the names of those who wronged you and try to forgive them. Once you do so, you will feel that a heavy weight has been lifted off your chest, because your forgiveness weighs a great deal to Allah the Almighty, who in return will offer you his forgiveness and cleanse you from sins, especially in this blessed month. .

“And Allah would not punish them while they seek forgiveness” [Quran 8:33]

In this verse, Allah reminds us of the power of his mercy and the importance of asking for forgiveness. Mercy and compassion are some of the most awe-inspiring acts of Allah, and as Muslims, we should take hope in the fact that with constant and sincere prayers for forgiveness, we can all be forgiven inshallah.This verse reminds us that we should always hold onto the hope that we can always ask for forgiveness and mercy.

It's been proven that forgiveness really plays an important role in our lives. It is true that forgiveness is not always easy. Perhaps you have been hurt badly enough that you feel it has poisoned your heart. Forgiving others and sometimes yourself can take a long time, but once you do so the virtues rewarded from God are immense.
