Prayers for Forgiveness
Forgiveness in American Heritage Dictionary is defined as (1) to excuse for a fault or offense, (2) to stop feeling anger or resentment against, and (3) to absolve from payment of.
Forgiveness in common parlance conveys an act, behavior, conduct or dealing by a person wronged who forgoes certain rights created in him by a wrongdoer’s actions, behavior, conduct, dealings, prohibitions or violations. It is running afoul against certain laws, rules, regulations or societal orders by a wrongdoer that entitles the wronged person or victim to impose a penalty or accept compensation in exchange. Stated simply, everyone has the right to be not violated and that puts all others under an obligation to acknowledge, honor and respect it by not violating that right.
The essential aspect of forgiveness in the worldly scenarios is that the person adversely affected and victimized has the right to avenge for the wrong done by the wrongdoer. All societal orders stand sanctified with the authority to take revenge from the wrongdoers based upon the common sense that every victim of a wrongdoing does not have the ability, capability or suitability to enforce the culpability for wrongs done.
Primitive as well as modern governments are empowered to penalize the violators. Crimes against individuals are recognized as wrongs against the society and avenged by imposing penalty on the criminals. Penalties in criminal cases entailing capital sentence stretch all the way to forfeiting wrongdoer’s life. Lesser sentences including banishment, chastisement, exile, incarceration, hard labor and lashing are recognized and imposed based upon various cultures, countries and creeds. Appropriateness, harshness or severity of a penalty for a crime is not the issue here – since legislatures in civilized world and judges in common law decide that.
Some jurisdictions, laws, religions and societies offer alternatives to the physical punishment being carried on a wrongdoer. This phenomenon moves the conflict from the arena of a criminal trial to the annuls of civil laws where give-and-take and negotiations settle controversies. The negotiated settlements determine the amount of damages which then are compensated customarily with some specified cash or in kind that the wrong-doer pays the victim. One such alternative provided by the Holy Qor-aan (002:179 & 180) as the Law of Compensation or Que-saas is one of the cardinal principle of Islaam.
In spiritual scenario the person wronged by violating fellow human beings right is considered to be a wrong committed against the Creator, the Almighty God. Naturally the forgiveness must also come from that One and the Only One Almighty. The forgiveness by the Almighty is not the same as the Clergy of almost every schools and religions dispense, sell and exploit by misleading the wronged and wrongdoers to believe.
Clergy’s declaring one class of people as holy while condemning another huge majority to eternal menial labor as the Untouchables, or lauding a suicide-bomber killing innocents as a martyr entitled to 70 virgins in heavens, or attempted execution of one person as a martyred savior for all sins of all people for all times, are examples of extreme ignoramus. On the rational and reasonableness basis, few construe those foul acts as the genuine forgiveness from God.
No one can deny the action – the absolute minimums of developing remorseful attitudes, adopting corrective measures and demonstratively taking actions to compensate the victims of one’s wrongs. But such action when accompanied by personal prayers, sincere supplications and innermost beseeching by using the following prayers provided in the Holy Qor-aan goes a long way.
Some of these prayers are the direct commands by the Almighty God who as the Creator knew best what His creations would forever in future need during their happy or sad times, hours of need or problem, and occasions and opportunities to develop and progress. Some of these were initially cried out and submitted by the prophets and their followers during their hours of need, distress, sickness, opposition, persecution or other problems that needed miraculous solutions. Everyone can enjoy the blessings that blossom out as a result of these prayers. Trillions of Moslems and those not-yet-Moslems have tried these prayers throughout the history of mankind. I have tried them. Try them.
