Laihi lanthu l-kaderi khayum min alfi shah

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim alhamdulillah wa salatu wa salamu ala rasulillah

Wa aala aalihi wa ashabihi ajmahin

My brothers and sisters, one of the most difficult things for us as human beings to do is to forgive others.

It is very difficult, especially when it is done by someone who was close to you, when they've wronged you

and they have oppressed you, or harmed you, or you served your wealth, or something has happened.

Sometimes it's a misunderstanding.

But this is the month of forgiveness.

We need to talk about the most difficult of things and we need to encourage one another to forgive

and to reconcile, because to men relationships is a great act of worship.

Let's go back.

Allah Almighty created Adam, may peace be upon him, and Hawwa, O Eve, may peace be upon her.

Adam and Eve were our father and mother, and we are all the children of Adam and Eve.

Now this would mean we are all related somehow, although it doesn't seem like that anymore.

In fact, those of us who have gone into a family, trees, would notice that we don't even know our relatives

who are quite close to us when it becomes third-fourth generation, especially with extended family.

So my brothers and sisters, if we are all connected, surely it means we should try our best to understand one another.

To make life easy for those on earth who are our family members anyway.
