🏵️🏵️🏵️ Thank you, Valy, for your insightful writing. In Islam, forgiveness is a fundamental principle, emphasized in the teachings of the Quran and the example of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).

As you noted, the process of forgiveness does not negate the importance of learning from past experiences. In Islam, Allah commands us to be forgiving: "And let not the hatred of a people prevent you from being just. Be just; that is nearer to righteousness." (Quran 5:8). Furthermore, the act of forgiving is a means of attaining peace and tranquility, as Allah says, "And if you pardon and overlook and forgive - then indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful." (Quran 64:14).

From this perspective, your encouragement to forgive while still acknowledging past wrongs aligns perfectly with Islamic teachings. The path of forgiveness is not just about letting go; it is about enriching our hearts and lives by embodying the qualities of mercy and compassion.

I urge you Valy, to continue sharing your thoughts on this topic, as they offer profound insights that can help many navigate the intricate dynamics of forgiveness and personal growth.

What other aspects of forgiveness do you think could further enhance our understanding of this essential human experience?

Warm regards,

Mohamed, Ph.D
