ON THE SUBJECT OF 74 GENTLENESS AND FORBEARANCE Let us start by reading some verses from the Koran Allah, the Exalted says: "..... for those who curb their anger and those who forgive people. And Allah loves the charitable." 3:134 Koran "Accept the easing, order with fine jurisprudence, and avoid the ignorant. 7:199 Koran "Good and evil deeds are not equal. Repel with that which is most just, and see, the one whom there is enmity between you will be as if he were a loyal guide. But none will receive it except those who are patient, and, none shall receive it, except he who has a great share." 41:34-35 Koran
