I was checking out the Quran Weekly channel on YouTube when I was looking at this lecture by Omar Sulieman about grudges. This kutabah was so good I had to repeat it several times. One of the things I will never forget was this very powerful quote:
"Grudges are you drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die."
That is a very powerful quote and had me thinking about how I have handled things in regards to my situations in the past year. I was so blinded by trying to get back at those closest to me that have wronged me, that all the grudges I had only wound up making me bitter, while at the same time slowly destroying and killing my soul. Now I am slowly moving forward, trying to correct my ways inshallah.
