To Forgive or Not to Forgive?

[Godobeyer]

Sorry for taking so long to respond.

I was asking if you believe I can show mercy and not forgive. An example might be someone who steals my car and damages it. I might not forgive--or not let him get away with it--by demanding he pay for the damage done. But I might show mercy--or not punish him as he deserves--by not calling the police and pressing charges.

In this case, wouldn't I be merciful but unforgiving? If so, is it sometimes right to not forgive?

in Islam there is different between two concepts between forgive and mercy .

forgive is could be for some one who hurt you .
mercy is could be for some one who doesnt hurt you and who hurt you too .
so mercy is wide than forgive .

btw , in issue of personal problem
you need to forgive first than to be mercy .

Does Islam teach mercy means to be lenient but forgiveness means to pardon? Or do the words mercy and forgiveness mean something different?

ok

لا يمكن ان ترحم شخص وانت لم تسامحه بعد

الرحمة تاتي بعد المغفرة

المغفرة هي تجاوز الاخطاء او العفو . اما الرحمة هي تقريبا فعل الخير او عدم فعل الشر عند القدرة

this is my personal understanding , if you need more i am request you to post a thread in Islam DIR , that would be interesting .
