And Allah made it not but good tidings and so that your hearts would be assured thereby. And victory is not but from Allah. Indeed, Allah is Exalted in Might and Wise. (Quran, 8:10)
It was narrated from Jabir (RA) that: The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: "Ask Allah for beneficial knowledge and seek refuge with Allah from knowledge that is of no benefit." (Ibn Majah) Such wisdom…
'Abdullah said, "When a man says to his companion, 'You are my enemy,' then one of them has left Islam or he is innocent of what his companion said.'" (Al-Adab)
If you stand at Allah’s door waiting for it to open, just remember the door was always open. It never closes.

The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: "Indeed a man may utter a statement that he does not see any harm in, but for which he will fall seventy autumns in the Fire." (Tirmidhi) This is quite frightening and so we must be careful and not casual about what comes out of our mouth...
Forgiving others isn’t a sign of weakness.
It takes real strength and character to geniunely forgive someone who has wronged you.
And if done for the correct intention to please Allah, the rewards can be truly spectacular... :)
Narrated Abu Musa Al-Ash`ari: The Prophet (pbuh) said, "Give food to the hungry, pay a visit to the sick and release (set free) the one in captivity (by paying his ransom). (Bukhari)
