(The Messenger’s Kindness)
It was mercy from God that you became compassionate towards them. Had you been harsh and mean-hearted, they would have abandoned you. Therefore, you shall pardon them and ask forgiveness for them, and consult them. Once you make a decision, carry out your plan, and trust in God. God loves those who trust in Him.*
فَبِما رَحمَةٍ مِنَ اللَّهِ لِنتَ لَهُم وَلَو كُنتَ فَظًّا غَليظَ القَلبِ لَانفَضّوا مِن حَولِكَ فَاعفُ عَنهُم وَاستَغفِر لَهُم وَشاوِرهُم فِى الأَمرِ فَإِذا عَزَمتَ فَتَوَكَّل عَلَى اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ المُتَوَكِّلينَ
fabimaa rahmatim minal laahi linta lahum wa law kunta fazzan ghaleezal qalbi lanfaddoo min hawlika fa’afu ‘anhum wastaghfir lahum wa shaawirhum fil amri fa izaa ‘azamta fatawakkal ‘alal laah; innallaaha yuhibbul mutawak kileen
*3:159 The currency of the U.S.A. is the only currency that carries the phrase: “In God we trust.” It is a fact that the American dollar has been the strongest currency in the world, and the standard by which all other currencies are measured.
