 Assalamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh Welcome to Malls and Minutes I am Muhammad Ali and today we will talk about the danger of grudges When the reader dives into the traditions of the messenger of Allah peace be upon him and his family that is found in our books he will discover many teachings that encompass and span a variety of categories Furthermore, at times you find a sentence composed of less than five or four words yet the sentence can be allowed to be applied to every human being the words can save us from our daily problems and keep our relations with the family and friends always concrete and unbreakable Let us look at a tradition from the Holy Messenger of Allah peace be upon him and his family in which we can take from its wonders It is narrated that he said Do not hold grudges How many words in this golden tradition? Four words from which we can extract teachings and we can take as a lesson in our daily lives Grudges are dangerous and holding on to them leads only to more destruction and pain It has been proven by medical researchers in the West who study the human physique and body that grudges can be harmful and leads to negative effects on the body In an article by WebMD dated February 25th 2005 it says When people think about their offenders in unforgiving ways they tend to experience stronger negative emotions and greater physical stress responses In contrast when these same people think about their offenders in more forgiving ways they tend to experience great positive emotions and greater perceived control and less potent negative emotions and stress in the short term This article dates about 10 years back and today there is even more researchers in this regard We can say that this discovery is at least decade or century old but when we look at the low placed thought by the Messenger of Allah peace be upon him and his family which dates back 1400 years ago we can come to the same golden conclusion He informed us not to carry grudges and to be forgiving to thy friend and enemy He is an example since Allah SWT said in the Holy Quran an excellent exemplar for those who hope in Allah and the last day Let us hold on to these traditions and not hold grudges but be forgiving so we can emulate the Messenger of Allah peace be upon him and his family in our communities and show the world the meaning behind we have not sent you but as a mercy to all worlds
