Today, like many Saturdays I drove the kids to madrasa.
Today was a bit different. Yusuf usually doesn't ask me for help with his madrasa stuff. Alhamdolillah, he's really good at stuff in general and really good at madrasa stuff.
He usually doesn't want to talk about madrasa stuff on Saturday mornings, but today he asked me for help understanding something he was learning in class. I don't recall the exact words, but one concept stuck with me. It was about forgiveness. I had to be thoughtful about it as I tried to explain it to him.
The thing he was looking for help understanding was basically saying, "be resolute in forgiving".
I explained that it's in his interest to forgive. I told him it was saying be determined to forgive because you will be more able to be happy. It's not a difficult concept I think, but I was glad to articulate it and get the reminder.
Taher: Forgive; you will be better off.
