“We are more inclined to hate one another for points on which we differ, than to love one another for points on which we agree. The reason perhaps is this: when we find others that agree with us, we seldom trouble ourselves to confirm that agreement; but when we chance on those who differ from us, we are zealous both to convince and to convert them. Our pride is hurt by the failure, and disappointed pride engenders hatred.” ReasonHateHurtChanceTroublePrideHatredAgreeConvinceAgreementDisappointedControversyLove One AnotherZealous Book:Lacon: Or Many Things in Few Words, Addressed to Those who Think Source: Lacon: Or Many Things in Few Words, Addressed to Those who Think
“Don't go into Ramadan having hurt anyone without seeking their forgiveness. The last thing you'd want on the day of judgment is to find that your entire Ramadan with all of its quran recitation, fasting, taraweeh prayers, laylatul qadr, etc. went completely to waste because your pride stopped you from saying “I'm sorry”. With that being said, I'm sorry if I've written, said, or done anything to offend you. Please find it in your heart to forgive and make dua that Allah grants me guidance and sincerity.” IfsWantHeartSaidDoneLastsHurtPrayerWrittenPridePleaseWasteJudgmentForgivingSorrySeekingGuidanceEtcGrantsSincerityI'm SorryMuslimFastingQuranOffendingRamadanSaying I'm SorryRecitationDua Author:Omar Suleiman
“We hold back our true feelings and beliefs, whether it's from a sense of being polite or fear of hurting someone's feelings.

“What is forgiving? Forgiving is giving up all claim on one who had hurt you and letting go of the emotional consequences of the hurt. How can we do that? It's done at the price of beating back our pride. By nature we are selfish. Forgiving, by definition, is unselfish. Being hurt by another person wounds our pride. Pride stands in the way of forgiving. We cannot forgive without God's help. It might be possible for us to forgive something inconsequential without God's help; but in significant matters, we are unlikely to accomplish anything without God's involvement in the process.” WayGivingPersonsMatterDoneHelpingMightProcessHurtEmotionalPrideLetting GoGiving UpConsequenceClaimsForgivingDefinitionsAccomplishSelfishWoundsSignificantBitternessUnlikelyInvolvementUnselfishWithout GodBeing HurtInconsequential Author:Richard Walters
