When Forgetting is a Good Thing
[Being able] to forget is a blessing from Allāh. If a person remembered some things, he’d be living a worried, troubled life. That’s why forgetting about loved ones having gone; about wrongs having been done [to us] by people; about [various] pains and afflictions [having been suffered in the past]; and [even] forgetting at times about some people who are still alive–all of that is a blessing from Allāh.
The only [thing that matters] is your looking out to remember things that are good for you and get you closer to your Mawlá [the One who manages your affairs and supports you]. Anything other than that: its being forgotten is better for you than its being remembered.

النسيان نعمة من الله، ولو تذكر الإنسان بعض الأشياء؛ لعاش في همّ وغمّ.
لذلك نسيان فراق الأحبة
ونسيان إساءة المسيئين
ونسيان الآلام والابتلاءات
ونسيان بعض الأحياء أحيانا
كل ذلك نعمة من الله، إنما حرصك على حفظ ما ينفعك، ويقربك إلى مولاك، وما سوى ذلك فذهابه خير لك من بقائه.— د.محمد بن غالب العُمري (@m_g_alomari) February 26, 2021
