Forgiveness

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

Slowly, it melts the bitterness,
like a sedative to the wounds.
It melts the pain,
like a soother to the heavy burning heart.
It clears the paths, one by one.
Suddenly, there’s calmness. Lighter.
Suddenly, it’s clearer. Better.

“Forgive”, said the voice,
“Forgive like how much you want and need to be forgiven”.
“Forgive. Because forgiveness heals and enlightens”.
