I believe in the forgiveness of sin and the redemption of ignorance.

Before Nelson Mandela was arrested in 1962, he was an angry, relatively young man. He founded the ANC's military wing. When he was released, he surprised everyone because he was talking about reconciliation and forgiveness and not about revenge.

Forgiveness is about empowering yourself, rather than empowering your past.

I have to ask Allah's forgiveness and not get angry, because they come to me out of love, and it's not fitting that I should turn to them in hatred.

We think that forgiveness is weakness, but it's absolutely not it takes a very strong person to forgive.
