Can you imagine? A friend butchers her friend for snatching her boyfriend and the incident that happened 10 years ago. Even if we offend our creator and yet He forgives us because He is a Forgiver as mentioned in the glorious Qur’an ” Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed He is Most Forgiving, the Merciful (Qur’an 39:53).
Surprisingly, God created us differently in terms of Behavior, Culture, Religion, Ethnic, Color, Race and Language, and so on. Apparently, in different parts of the world humans are located be it State, Country, Region, or Continental. There are 8 planets in the solar system. Earth is one of them where homo sapiens are found. Over seven billion is the current population density of the world.
Today’s topic I opined on is “How To Forgive And Forget”. How do we forgive and forget? In this life, we are bound to sin with each other. Knowingly, when the sinner knows the weight of his or her action and decided to seek forgiveness, we ought to forgive and forget, even if the wrongdoer failed to seek forgiveness we can still forgive and entangle him or her to God
Most believe when they’re offended, the best thing to do is to avenge even without considering the repercussions of their actions. On March 26th a Nigerian woman allegedly stabbed her friend, Glory Okon, to death in her apartment. According to information gathered by Vanguard, Anita Ofili, who committed the heinous act, revealed that the deceased snatched her boyfriend 10 years ago.
“Glory and I had been good friends for years, but she betrayed that friendship by snatching my boyfriend.
“I had the intention of marrying him. Her action strained the relationship and we went our separate ways for 10 years.
“We only reconciled 2 weeks ago. I invited her to my house and the rest, you know.”

” And O my people! Ask for forgiveness of your lord and then repent to him;
He will send you ( from the sky) abundant rain and add strength to your strength. Do not turn away as those given to guilt.(criminals, disbelievers in the oneness of Allah.” ( Qur’an 11:52).
According to the Bible in Matthew 6: 14-15 ” For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.”
Defeat the mischievous spirit today by Forgiving so that you can be light-minded. If you can’t forget what someone did to you, you can’t forgive them. Don’t go around with a heavy mind, forgive and forget today so that you can be light-minded. May God be with you.
