| Hello i have one question. I have offended my friend who is Muslim with inapropriate question about his Prophet. I must say i had not intention to offend him. My ignorance and low education about Islam caused this. My question is: can a Muslim forgive if someone say something wrong about their Prophet. I thank you for answer! |

Salam/Peace, Yes forgiving is one very important teaching in Islam, and prophet Muhammad PBUH give many examples about this. When he was back to Makkah he had the opportunity to take revenge to Abu Sufyan one of the most prominent enemy of him that killed so many of his supporter, companions and relatives. Abu Sufyan himself was scared to death, the Prophet didn't take revenge, he forgave Abu Sufyan and made friend with him. ------------- Salam/Peace, Semar "We are people who do not eat until we are hungry and do not eat to our fill." (Prophet Muhammad PBUH) "1/3 of your stomach for food, 1/3 for water, 1/3 for air" |

| We love islam more than ourselves but at the same time Allah commands us to be patient, like Allah says in ch 41 v 34 that no doubt bad deed can't equal good deed, always repel bad deed with good and then you will see your enemy had become your best friend.Allah in ch 16 v 125 of Quran says invite people to the way of lord with beautiful words and preachings and argue with them in best possible peaceful manner. |

Islam means peace, to be at peace with yourself and your surroundings. If you think you've remotely offend someone, try and make peace with them. There were 3 types of sins that I was thought a while back, one against oneself, the second against others , and the third against Allah's commandments. To me, to be ignorant of something means you were not aware of or the consequences it may cause of whatever it was at the time. Once you became aware of it, and has full knowledge of its impact and your own contribution to it, then you do your best to make peace and amend.Allah forgives over and over, if He can, we are surely able to do the same. Although,depending on the circumstances, your friend may chose not to forgive you (not compel to), that's when you turn to Allah for forgiveness. |

Welcome, and you can ask all your questions here. Please feel free to ask, and feel comfortable. No question is offensive unless offense is the intention. God is forgiving and God wants us to be forgiving. Hasan ------------- The friends of God will certainly have nothing to fear, nor will they be grieved. Al Quran 10:62 |
