Treating them kindly

Do not blame them for the harm, but rather pardon and forgive, for that is a kind of charity.

Allah said ( interpretation of the meaning ) :

{ So for their breaking of the covenant We cursed them and made their hearts hardened. They distort words from their [proper] places [i.e., usages] and have forgotten a portion of that of which they were reminded.1 And you will still observe deceit among them, except a few of them. But pardon them and overlook [their misdeeds]. Indeed, Allah loves the doers of good. }
