Let Them Forgive
قُل لِّلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ يَغۡفِرُواْ لِلَّذِينَ لَا يَرۡجُونَ أَيَّامَ ٱللَّهِ لِيَجۡزِيَ قَوۡمَۢا بِمَا كَانُواْ يَكۡسِبُونَ ١٤
Tell those who believe to forgive those who hope not for the days of Allah; in order that He may requite folk what they used to earn.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
Say to those who believe that they forgive those who expect not the days of Allah.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, the Arabs called great historic events “days”; Allah’s days are the days of His punishment and help.
Reflect
Forgive someone who was rude to you today.
