A commanding character is built through mercy for imperfections. Ustadh Michael Wolfender completes his look at the seventh surah and how forgiving weaknesses and promoting the strengths of those around you paves your path to Paradise.
Do you wish for the Final Day to be your Day of Mercy from Allah? Then He expects you to demonstrate that every day. If you wish for Allah to shower His mercy, He expects you to start the positive chain reaction.
Look for the good in people, their manners and their speech. This helps to remove and overlook shortcomings. Don’t ask others to do things which may not be easy for them. Encourage excellence in speech and behavior through modeling. Focus on the positive. Build a mindset focused on the Mercy of Allah and not His Punishment.
