Page 79 - Only Love Can Defeat Terrorism

Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar)

has recommended this morality:
The repayment of a bad action is one equivalent to it.

But if someone pardons and puts things right, his
reward is with Allah...
In another verse), Allah reveals, "But if someone is
steadfast and forgives, that is the most resolute course to
follow." (Surat ash-Shura: 43) and emphasizes that this is a

very superior form of morality:
“Those of you possessing affluence and ample wealth
should not make oaths that they will not give to their
relatives and the very poor and those who have
emigrated in the way of Allah. They should rather
pardon and overlook. Would you not love Allah to
forgive you? Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful."

(Surat an-Nisa: 22)
In these words, He encourages the faithful to consider
their own positions when it comes to forgiveness. Because
everyone wants Allah to forgive him, to protect and show him
mercy, so do we hope that all others will excuse and forgive

our mistakes. Therefore, Allah has commanded the faithful to
treat others in the same way they would like to be treated
themselves. That important responsibility encourages the
faithful to be forgiving towards one another. Our Prophet
(may Allah bless him and grant him peace) encouraged them
in these words: "That person is nearest to Allah, who pardons,
when he has someone in his power, one who would have injured
him." 20
