Have you ever encountered individuals who consistently harbour animosity towards you and behave rudely in your interactions with them? Our attempts to communicate kindly with such individuals often prove ineffective. Even when confronted with their misconduct, we refrain from reciprocating in kind.
I contemplate whether their hostility stems from personal dissatisfaction or an abundance of negative energy directed towards those they dislike. My recourse is to seek istighfar and implore Allah’s guidance to shield me from such behaviours. While some merit kindness, others may benefit from lessons in compassion.
Ya Allah Ya Muhaymin, I seek refuge in You from harmful actions. Cleanse my heart of any ill feelings or resentment towards others. Verily, You are The Most Merciful.
(The incident on 16th July 2024, at Level 3 (NMR-OOTD) serves a big lesson for me.)
