When Forgiving Is Complicated | Khutbah by Dr. Omar Suleiman

The takeaways start at 12:08 1. Think about The redeeming qualities about that person 2. Understand the circumstances a personal message not to excuse it, but rather to understand 3. Focus on the greater reward

[@faheema7]

‘May Allah free us from being grieved by our own transgressions, May Allah allow us to get past all our grievances and grant us reward. May Allah comfort us in a way only He can comfort us’ Aameen 🤲🏼

I had been thinking about my sitiuation which is very similar to this and Allah swt sent this khutbah my way. SubhanAllah... My mind is much more clear now. Jzk ustadh.

Salam admin. It would be beneficial if Imam could address issue of threats of death and harm from parents, what weaker and broken victims do when the cultural or generational cycles of abuse are happening, and due to this they give into mental and emotional manipulation which prolongs the abuse until it becomes a normative thing for the abused. And, horrific situations which are very common when abuse of other kinds are committed by fathers and brothers towards daughters/ sisters, and the mothers and matriarchal systems hide the abuse and persecute the abused from contacting the authorities. Also, in South Asian communities especially where the mothers and fathers are magicians, or they have strong bonds with magicians as a means to doing horrific acts against the kids and wider community nembers etc. It's hard to forgive such abuses as described in my examples when the abuse and harm is ongoing in a cycle of prolonged and sustained harm, and are not isolated random acts that can be segregated for other redeeming factors. The general advise is to forgive and not cut ties, but sometimes cutting ties is the only option to stop the trauma and to break the cycle whilst protecting oneself from death and harm. Forgiveness is not possible when the harm is sustained and there is a deeply embedded cultural belief that such horrific acts are the 'right' of the parent and they have a unique status with God to do whatever they want. Sometimes their Imams in the mosques who can't even speak English support these acts. Jazak Allah.

@Sehr Az So sorry about your bad experiences. God Bless you sister/ brother 🙂

[@mariaclaudettecaluban5286]

Salaam alaikum! What a horrible situation indeed. I believe that cutting ties is not literal but rather figurative in the sense that you forget whatever good there was. If one removes oneself from an abusive situation and does not establish contact, for as long as the abused prays for the abuser to change their ways and be forgiven by ALLAH AWJ 🙏✨❤️, that would not be cutting ties. ALLAH AWJ 🙏✨❤️ is not unreasonable and Islam is supposed to be a religion of ease.. Praying for them will give peace to be abused (ironically that is true). And ALLAH AWJ knows best. ❤️🙏✨ Barakallah feekum 🙏✨❤️

I feel for you, my duas are with you and everyone in these situations. It’s all too common and I wish it was addressed by our leaders more often.

[@Swed813]

@@ts7371 I already watched the video and am aware of what it contains. My original lengthy comment was not asking for clarity about forgiveness solely. I was asking Admin to ask the Imam to address the legitimacy of cutting ties in serious situations as those I described. These Imams need to speak clearly and directly to abusers in their sermons, instead of fluffy advice that is not open nor clear about modern present issues aimed at victims.

I was born in Chicago in 1942, and I love living in Queretaro, where i moved in 2021 at 79. Safer and 70% less expensive, and all utilities included in my apartment and internet, maid and security. plenty of groceries delivered. Local friends see that I get takeout or anything I want. I am blessed. Over 60 years of coming to Acapulco etc. Let go and let God. Karma never loses an address. You will reap what you have sown.
