There will definitely come a time when those who have wronged you will face Allah's justice.

If you witness it in this world and are in a position to laugh at them and chastise them for the wrong they did to you, which had now come to fall upon them; then choose to forgive for Allah's sake.

The thing is, although it's natural to spite and reject those who had once humiliated and harassed you for doing the right thing, but pause for a moment and carefully discern the ugliness rearing in your heart for those people. Do you like it? Or are you able to sense that this darkness is the same as the wickedness you had tasted at the hands of those people?

Think long and hard before deciding how you wish to appear before Al-Baseer and Al-Aleem; Who sees and knows everything you're feeling in the depths of your heart. So, wouldn't you rather want to look beautiful in the sight of the One you love and Whose love you seek?

"Let them pardon and overlook. Would you not love for Allah to forgive you? Allah is Forgiving and Merciful." (Quran 24:22)
