REPLY TO A BAD DEED WITH A GOOD DEED

Hazrat Mufti Muhammad Shafi RA has written in Ma'ariful Quran that

یدرؤن بالحسنة السیئة

means that Islam teaches us not to respond to a bad deed with a bad deed, rather Islam tells us that we should reply to a bad deed with a good deed. Whoever has been cruel to you, be just and fair to him. If someone has not fulfilled the obligations of their relationship with you, you should still carry out all their obligations towards you. If someone has expressed anger towards you, be patient and tolerant towards them. This way your enemy will become your friend, and the person who wast doing mischief towards you will become nice to you.

Adapted from Ma'ariful Quran, interpretation of Surah Al-Ra'ad, by Mufti Muhammad Shafi RA
