Give people room to be human
Prophet Musa once said, “If I mess up again, don’t let me stay with you. You’ve already been patient with me.” (Al-Kahfi: 76)
This teaches us that forgiving someone when they slip up is a sign of goodness. Letting small mistakes go shows kindness and maturity.
It’s part of being someone with ihsan — someone who does good with heart and grace.
