A Gracious Parting
وَٱصۡبِرۡ عَلَىٰ مَا يَقُولُونَ وَٱهۡجُرۡهُمۡ هَجۡرࣰا جَمِيلࣰا ١٠
And bear with patience what they utter, and part from them with a fair leave-taking.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
Be patient with what they say and part from them graciously.
Insight
Elmalılı explains “hajr jamil” as keeping away in heart and mind and not following their deeds, while not retaliating against their wrongs and acting with tolerance and good character.
Reflect
Today, step away from someone who hurt you without hurting them.
