Forgiveness is a conscious, deliberate decision to stop feeling angry or resentful towards someone for an offense. 

Forgiveness does not mean forgetting or condoning. 

Forgiveness is about us.

The requirements are to stop feeling angry and resentful towards someone.

The reason why people don’t forgive is wrongfully believing that by holding a grudge … we are hurting the other person. 

This is absolutely wrong.

Others do not experience our feelings. 

The other person doesn’t have to do anything different for you to feel better. 

Forgiveness does not mean that you drop your boundaries. 

Forgiveness doesn’t imply that you have to live in a toxic environment. 

You can move away and forgive. 

Forgiveness is extremely emphasized in Islam. 

Forgive people so that Allah forgives you.

"And we did not send before you, [O Muhammad], any of the messengers except that they ate food and walked in the markets. And we have made some of you [people] as a trial for others--will you have patience? And ever is your Lord, seeing." [Surah Al-Furqan 25:20]

This life is full of tests and trials. Many times we are tested through people in our life.

"And we did not send before you, [O Muhammad], any of the messengers except that they ate food and walked in the markets. And we have made some of you [people] as a trial for others--will you have patience? And ever is your Lord, seeing." [Surah Al-Furqan 25:20]

If we keep blaming others for whatever they did or try to prove they were wrong, there is no momentum forward.
