Al-Ghaffar (the Forgiving)
Surah Al-Furqan (25:70):
As for those who repent, believe, and do good deeds, they are the ones whose evil deeds Allah will change into good deeds. For Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
hadith narrated by Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) in Sahih Muslim, where the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:
"Allah has one hundred portions of mercy, of which He sent down one between the jinn, mankind, the animals, and the insects, by means of which they are compassionate and merciful to one another, and by means of which wild animals are kind to their offspring. And Allah has kept back ninety-nine portions of mercy with which to be merciful to His slaves of the Day of Resurrection."
In a society where forgiveness is sometimes undervalued, recognizing Allah as Al-Ghaffar encourages believers to embody forgiveness and mercy in their interactions with others, contributing to the establishment of a more compassionate and understanding community. It reinforces the idea that forgiveness is a powerful force capable of healing relationships and fostering a more harmonious and just society.
Islamic term meaning:
auzubillah minashaitan ni rajeem (O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the accursed Satan)
astaghfirullah (I seek forgiveness in God)
auzubillah (I seek refuge in Allah)
In sha Allah (God willing)
Subhanallah (Glory be to God)
La hawla wala kuwata illa billah (there is no power and no strength except with Allah)
bismillah (in the name of Allah)
alhamdulillah (praise be to God)
Allahu Akbar (God is the greatest)
Assalamu Alaykom wa rahmatallahi wa barakatu (Peace be upon you and God's mercy and blessings)
Ma sha Allah (God has willed it)
In the annals of the nobles in Soul Society, there existed a legend, whispered through the ages, about the manifestation of legendary warriors destined to unite and forge a world of justice. These fabled heroes were foretold to emerge when the shadowy calamity, capable of shattering the realms, began its ominous descent. It was believed that these warriors hailed from a distant realm, crossing over into our world.
As Ichigo and Rukia rushed over to Orihime's house to save her, Kisuke contemplated, with Yoruichi in her cat form beside him.
A tale of a similar origin was once passed down to him by the Soul King himself. It spoke of an entity that divided the world into two, creating hell and taking with her everyone with dark energy, while the Soul King protected the remaining realms until the heroes reappeared.
And when they finally achieved their mission, the truth would be revealed.
As for what truth it was... Kisuke didn't know, but he was aware that Aizen was determined to uncover it by becoming the Soul King.
He released a sigh...
Ichigo immediately jumped on the wall as soon as he heard the commotion, leaving Rukia behind. As soon as he entered Orihime's room, he saw Tatsuki lying in a pool of her own blood, while Orihime's soul was separated from her body, the hollow about to attack her.
"Bismillah," he prayed as he readied himself for the confrontation.
Thus, he jumped in front of her with his sword, saving her from the clutches of the hollow.
The hollow screeched very loudly, prompting Rukia, who was outside, to hear it. Worried that Ichigo would get himself killed fighting alone without her guidance, she climbed the walls on her own using the steel pipes.
Finally, she arrived and saw that Ichigo had held his own against the hollow, while Orihime was making peace with her deceased brother.
Not long after, Rukia used the memory changer on them, allowing them to live normally without the memory of this horrible incident.
Byakuya immediately stepped beside Rukia, sensing that the Shibas were about to attack her after she confessed her sin.
"Rukia," he called with as much stoicism as he could muster, aware that a clan war was about to explode. "Return to the manor," he commanded.
The Shibas looked at the murderer left nonchalantly, as if nothing happened, their rage now focused on Byakuya Kuchiki, the head of the Kuchiki clan.
Ganju, the youngest of the Shiba siblings, watched his older sister run towards their brother's lifeless body. His body shook in fear and disbelief, the image of his brother's killer imprinted in his mind.
On the other hand, Rukia went into the forest. After hearing Byakuya's cold words, she knew there was nothing left for her in this world. Her sin could not be forgiven. Thus, she pointed her blade at her chest, wearing a bitter smile.
Guess her existence was a bane to society after all...
She should have ended it a long time ago... and maybe, Kaien wouldn't have died because of her.
Byakuya watched in horror as Rukia was about to plunge her sword into her chest, his reiatsu flaring, causing her to fall unconscious. He promptly caught her and held her in his arms.
"Rukia," he whispered with a hint of sadness upon seeing her like this. Wondering where the strong-willed girl was who kept on doing her best to fit in with his clan and achieve a rank in Gotei 13. The girl who managed to win their hearts with her dedication and perseverance.
Although he had managed to keep her from attaining a rank and kept her safe until now, he didn't imagine that this would happen.
How could she think about throwing her life away this way? Didn't she know that many would mourn her death?
That he would be heartbroken if she left him too.
