    Forgiveness is liberating, when yoy don’t forgive, it is like holding to a ball of fire in your hand all the time. Thank you Haleh….I come from Malta (island in Europe), I share your videos here. You are a blessing.

    It’s very hard to forgive when your whole life hurt by your own family . May Allah help us to forgive.

    So you forgive and let things go, but when do you take a stand to stop certain people from wronging you again and again?

      Each situation is different – I’m not saying you should let people take advantage of you. What I’m saying is free yourself from the anger and frustration.

      You shouldn’t accept oppression- if you are in an abusive or toxic relationship you do need to protect yourself and find a way out.
