مَغْفِرَة
This verse teaches us that kind speech and forgiveness are better than charity followed by injury.
قَوۡلٞ مَّعۡرُوفٞ وَمَغۡفِرَةٌ خَيۡرٞ مِّن صَدَقَةٖ يَتۡبَعُهَآ أَذٗىۗ
Kind speech and forgiveness are better than charity followed by injury.
Quran, Al-Baqara 2:263
The verse compares two attitudes. On one hand, a kind word and forgiving. On the other, charity spoiled by a reminder or harm. The first is better. Allah is Free of need and Forbearing. In daily life, we may help someone then remind them of it or hurt them. This verse invites us to prefer gentleness and forgiveness. A simple kind word can be more valuable than a gift accompanied by disrespect.
Today, say a kind word to someone and forgive a small offense, without reminding them of anything.
