Certain people make dua’ but their clothing is from haram sources, the food they are sustained with is haram, and their earning is also haram. For a person’s dua and forgiveness to be accepted, for that moment in time he has to have left everything. This is why the ulema teach people to be continuous in seeking forgiveness
The Prophet Muhammad(ﷺ) said: A brave man is not the one who wrestles another person to the ground. The brave and strong man is the one who controls his anger at the time it triggers
If anger is triggered in our own heart because of something someone has done to us, forgiving them will remove the anger/hatred
The Prophet (ﷺ) said: The vilest of men is a person that another keeps his company to save himself from that man’s evil
Those who spend [in the path of Allah] in sarra and darra, and those who swallow their anger and [as a result of swallowing their anger] they forgive people; Allah loves those who are good in conduct [the qualities mentioned] (Surah 3, Verse 134)
We should think of the attribute/quality as a gift that Allah has placed within us and not be boastful about it. In this way we will be grateful and we will not have vanity
The majority of the Quran covers the topic of leaving the evil of the world and to direct the creation from the dunya to Allah SWT and to call them towards the Hereafter.
