And you may even get to a point where you can tell that story again and again and feel no pain, just perspective. There's no getting around the heart work that you have to do no matter what stage you're at in your heartbreak. Reflect on the story of Yusuf alayhis salam and his brothers. When do you think he actually decided to forgive them? Was it when he first saw them in Egypt after so many years? Was it when they came back for Bani Amin? Or was his heart pure of all the barriers for forgiveness so that before he even met them, he already had that willingness inside to let go? Even if his brothers didn't initially show that they really changed at all. And that's the ultimate key. Unlock your higher self when you witness the lower selves of others. رُبَّمَا كُنتَ مُسِئًا فَأَرَاكَ الْإِحْسَانَ مِنكَ سُحْبَتُكَ إِلَى مَنْ هُوَ أَسْوَى حَالَ مِنكَ You might be in a bad state. Then you're associating with one who is worse than you. Makes you see virtue in yourself. Otherwise, the heartbreak can turn into resentment. And resentment can turn into anger. And anger can make us do things that we regret for the rest of our lives and maybe even our afterlives. Ali radiAllahu ta'ala said about anger, أَوَّلُهُ جُنُونٌ وَآخِرُهُ نَدَمٌ Its beginning is insanity and its end is regret. There's a reason the Prophet ﷺ said to stay silent or to make wudu or to seek refuge in Allah when that anger starts to consume you. Because rage is from the Shaytan. And Shaytan is from fire. And can lead a person to burn themselves and others all around them rather than rise to a place of tranquility and inner peace.
قُلْ لَن يُصِبَنَا إِلَّا مَا كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَنَاهُ وَمَوْلَنَا وَعَلَى اللَّهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ Thanks for watching!
