The Twenty-Second Letter In His Name!
And there is nothing but it glorifies Him with praise. [This letter consists of Two Topics; the First summons believers to brotherhood and love.]First Topic
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate. Verily the believers are brethren; so reconcile then your brothers.1
* Repel evil with what is better than it; then the one between whom and yourself enmity prevails will become like your friend and intimate.2
* Those who suppress their anger and forgive people-verily God loves those who do good.3
FIRST ASPECT
They are sinful in the view of truth. O unjust man nurturing rancour and enmity against a believer! Let us suppose that you were on a ship, or in a house, with nine innocent people and one criminal. If someone were to try to make the ship sink, or to set the house on fire, because of that criminal, you know how great a sinner he would be. You would cry out to the heavens against his sinfulness. Even if there were one innocent man and nine criminals aboard the ship, it would be against all rules of justice to sink it. So too, if there are in the person of a believer, who may be compared to a dominical dwelling, a Divine ship, not nine, but as many as twenty innocent attributes such as belief, Islam, and neighbourliness; and if you then nurture rancour and enmity against him on account of one criminal attribute that harms and displeases you, attempting or desiring the sinking of his being, the burning of his house, then you too will be a criminal guilty of a great atrocity.
