Doing good to those who wrong you
Submitted by Mohammed Gilani on
Condition: Hadrat, another evil habit of mine is this: if
anyone does wrong to me, I also do wrong to them or I
withdraw myself from them. I would like to do good to those
who wrong me but my nafs draws me towards evil and I find
myself weak against it. Kindly provide me with a treatment
whereby I could reply evil with good and not evil with evil.
Answer: Take pains in doing good while thinking to yourself
that there is great reward in this and it is a means of gaining
Allâh’s pleasure. Allâh Ta’ala states that those who reply to
evil with good are people who have a great share of good. Bear
this virtues in mind and it will become easy for you to practise.
