other hand, the forgiveness of believers is sincere. Because believers
know that human beings are tried in this world, and learn by their mis-
takes, they are tolerant and compassionate. Moreover, believers are also
capable of forgiveness even when they are in the right, and the other in
the wrong. When forgiving, they make no distinction between large
errors and small ones. Someone may cause severe losses to them by
mistake. However, believers know that everything takes place under
the command of Allah, and according to a specific destiny, and there-
fore, they surrender themselves to these developments, never acqui-
escing to anger.
According to recent research, American scientists established that
those capable of forgiveness are healthier in both mind and body. Dr.
Frederic Luskin, who holds a Ph.D. in Counselling and Health
Psychology from Stanford University, and his team, studied 259 people
living in the city of San Francisco. The scientists invited the subjects to
attend six one-and-a-half-hour sessions, and aimed to instruct the sub-
jects in forgiveness during their conversations.
