The Messenger’s Kindness
3:159 It was mercy from GOD that you became compassionate towards them. Had you been harsh and mean-hearted, they would have abandoned you. Therefore, you shall pardon them and ask forgiveness for them, and consult them. Once you make a decision, carry out your plan, and trust in GOD. GOD loves those who trust in Him.*
*3:159 The currency of the U.S.A. is the only currency that carries the phrase: “In God we trust.” It is a fact that the American dollar has been the strongest currency in the world, and the standard by which all other currencies are measured.
3:160 If GOD supports you, none can defeat you. And if He abandons you, who else can support you? In GOD the believers shall trust.
If I can forgive and pardon then I have received the gift of kindness from God. Like patience, kindness comes only from God.
