Do you believe in karma?
In Islam we have Kifarah. What you give, you’ll get back. If you’re good, good will come to you and vice versa. If someone ever wronged you or even intended to, it always comes back to them one way or the other. That’s what puts hearts at ease.
“So whoever does an atom’s weight of good will see it, and whoever does an atom’s weight of evil will see it.”
— Qur’an 99:7–8
And I also believe in the art of forgiveness. When someone intentionally hurts you, even if they go through a tough time in life, I would never want them to suffer. I don’t know, it just feels wrong to me. I don’t want people to suffer. Even if you’re the lowest of the low, I’ll probably still feel sorry for you. My beloved father always told me, “You can’t pick up a microscope and look at things minutely, because life is very short and it just complicates things.”
