Interesting REMEMBERING AND FORGETTING

[Eman Yousuf]

, Allah (swa) has kept a great wisdom in "remembering and forgetting".Which is a unique quality to the human species. Think about the many services they give and the benefits that human gain from it. Without the faculty of remembering, bestowed solely on man, there would be a great chaos in all his affairs, he would not differentiate what is due to him from what is his duty, what he received from what he handed out, what he heard from what he saw, what he said and what was said to him, he would not distinguish his benefactor from his adversary , he would not recall those who had dealings with him , he would not remember to seek closeness to the one who had done good to him nor to avoid the one who had done mischief, he wold not find a way that he had tried and found right even after going along it many times, he would not gain and store knowledge in any particular field even if he had devoted all his life to it, he would not benefit from experience, or draw a lesson from what has passed-indeed he would cease to be a member of mankind.

Now, reflect upon the blessing of "forgetting". Without forgetting a human being would find no consolation for any loss, his grief would be without end,he could not get over the effect of a disaster, his mourning would be permanent, his malice would be for ever, he would not enjoy any of life's amusements with his mind full of the memory of catastrophes, he would have no hope of the relenting of an adversary or the abating of the ill feeling of an envier.

, Think, then, on Allah's (swa) bounty in providing you with the ability to remember and forget, despite their contrast and opposition, each performing its respective part.

Allah(swa) ask us in surah Ar-Rahmaan, "which of the blessings of your lord you jinns and men deny ?".
and Rasuallah said that when the ayah was recited in front of them(believing jinns) , they all said "none of the favour we deny". we (humans) one or the other time refuse it, by our action, talk , many a times we say "oh this i got because i work hard for it" and forget to mention what ever we get, his from Allah (swa).
