GOMBAK, 21 December 2021: Forgiveness is a therapy that is able to heal someone if done voluntarily and sincerely, a webinar on “Forgiving As A Form of Healing Process: Islamic and Western Perspectives” was told on Monday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Siti Rafiah binti Abdul Hamid shared the benefits of forgiveness, which she said, is a positive shift in human reactions and emotions where humans become more empathetic, compassionate, and happy as a result of their interactions with one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0153Moreover, seeking forgiveness is easy if coming from the bottom of the heart and it can bring about peace to someone, though forgetting is a tough thing,” she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0153If we constantly seek forgiveness and forgive others, we will be able to eliminate jealousy, anger, and envy,\u009d she noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She highlighted that “the apologising practice is a requirement of Islam”, acknowledging that “Islam teaches us to always think with our aqal <\/em>and utter good words when communicating with one another\u009d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0153Islam recognises that humans are flawed and that we will make mistakes in which only Allah alone is the Most Merciful and Forgiving,” she reminded the audiences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We as humans always expect forgiveness from Allah, therefore we also have the ability to forgive others,” she further said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The seminar was conducted by Guidance and Counselling students of Kulliyyah of Education on the subject of Seminar in Counselling: Professional and Human Development, which was carried live on YouTube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
