Iman and Aqaid 17Allahu Haleemun. This means Allah is ever Forbearing,
Tolerant. Man often does many wrongs being tempted by the ill
desire of the heart. Being instigated by Satan and evil passion he
violates Allah's orders and does many vices. But Allah does not
punish him immediately. He gives him ample times for
rectifying and repentance, gives him chance to become good.
He gives him opportunities of penitence (promise not to do such
wrong again). Allah is very Tolerant. Had it been not so, He
would not have given us any chance to repent and rectify.
Rather if He would have punished then and there, we would
have got no way out to escape. Allah Himself is so Forbearing,
He likes forbearance and tolerance from His servents.
Forbearance is an elevated quality. Mutual love, friendship and
sympathy grow by this great quality. Let us resolve to possess
this in our selves and cultivate it among our schoolmates. We
should not become angry with our fellow beings for any small
fault and faltering. We would keep our patience if any body
becomes angry, nor would we say anything instantly in reply.
There is every possibility of heightening the quarrel if, then and
there some retaliating step is taken. Because the normal
condition changes to abnormal when somebody comes to high
temper. Allah also does not take action instantly at somebody's
Wallahu 'Aleemun Haleem
Meaning: "Allah is the All-Knowing, the Forbearing."
