• The Next Seven Points of The Book
• Seventh: One Should Know That If He Spends His Time Seeking Revenge, Vulnerable Time Would Be Lost & His Heart Would Be Torn. Thereafter, He Would Lose Much Benefit. However, If He Pardons & Forgives His Heart & Body Becomes Free To Do That Which Is Beneficial For Him. And Him, Doing These Beneficial Things Are Better Than Taking Revenge.
• Eighth: Taking Revenge & Wanting To Help His Own Soul. The Person Should Reflect ,The Messenger Never Took Revenge For Something Related To Himself. And The Messenger Was The Best & The Most Noble of Creation & He Didn’t Take Revenge. Bearing In Mind The Much Harm & Difficulties He Faced While Calling To The Path of Allāh.
• Ninth: If An Individual Is Harmed By Carrying Out Actions For Allāh Or By Following An Command, Allāh Has Commanded Or By Staying Away From Ḥarām. It Is Obligatory For Him To Be Patient & Not To Take Revenge. As This Was Due To Fact The Person Was On The Path of Allāh. And Anyone That Is Harmed On The Path of Allāh Then His Reward Is With Allāh. This Is Known Throughout The Qur’ān & Sunnah.
• Tenth: If The Salve Being Affected Remains Patient, He Would Have The Aid, Love & Pleasure of Allāh. And Whomsoever Allāh Is With, Then Allāh Is Able To Remove,Rebel Harm & Difficulties From You That No one From The Creation Can.
• Eleventh: Patience Is One Half of Īmān. So One Should Not Utilise That Part of Faith To Seek Revenge. Rather, If He Remains Patient He Safeguards His Faith From Decreasing.
• Twelfth: One Should Witness That Him Showing Patience Is An Judgement From Himself Over His Soul And Him Dominating, OverPowering His Soul. And When The Soul Is Dominated, Conquered & Subdued Then The Soul Can Not Enslave Him & It Would Not Be Able To Lead Him To Destruction. However, If He listens To His Soul & Obeys It, & Allows His Soul To Subdue Him Then He Would Be Destroyed. So, Being Patient Allows Him To Control His Soul. So, Authority Returns Back To His Heart & The Soldiers (limbs) Would Follow Him & Be Firm & Rebel The Enemy.
• Thirteenth: To Know When A Person Exercises & Has Patience Then His Aid With Allāh Is Guaranteed. For, Indeed Allāh Is The Protector of Those That Are Patient And He Leaves His Oppressor To Allāh To Deal With Him. On The Other Hand, When You Seek Revenge For Yourself, You’re Alone & You Don’t Have The Aid of Allāh. So, What is Better, That Allāh Aids You & He is The Best of Aiders Or One Aids Himself & He Is The Least & Weak of Aiders’

• The Last Seven Points of The Book:
• Fourteenth: When He Remains Patient On The Harms of Others Then This Patience Itself Would Cause The Oppressor To Return Back From His Oppression. This Is The Meaning of Allāh’s Statement ‘Repel (the evil) with one which is better, then verily! He, between whom and you there was enmity, (will become) as though he was a close friend’. But none is granted it (the above quality) expect those who are patient’ (Sūrah al Furqān 41:34-35)
• Fifteen: By An Individual Taking Revenge & Showing Vengeance This Would Be A Reason To Increase Conformation Amongst You. And To Increase The Evil. It Would Increase Your Time of Plotting. However, If He Pardons He Is Safe From This Harm. How Many Fell By Taking Revenge & Were Met By Exchange of Evil & They Were Not Able To Repel It. And How Many Loss Their Position, Rank & Wealth Due To This. But, If They Forgave The Oppressor Then They Would Have Maintained Their Rank,Position & Even Their Wealth’  
• Sixteen: The One Who Becomes A Costumed In Taking Revenge & He Does Not Remain Patient Then He Would Definitely Fall Into Oppression. A Person Would Not Limit Himself To The Limits of Justice. Perhaps, He May Not Be Able To Remain Just. So, If He Becomes Angry He Transgresses The Limits & He No Longer Is Able To Control What He is Saying & Doing. Bearing In Mind, He Was The One That Was Oppressed. And What Awaits Him After That Expect Punishment’.
• Seventeen: This Harm That Reaches Him From Others Can Possibly Be of Two Things. Either, It Is An Expiation of His Sins. Or, It Is An Raising of His Ranks. But, If He Seeks Revenge, This Is No Longer Applicable To Him of Raising of Ranks & Expiation of Sins.
• Eighteenth : His Pardoning & His Patience Is From His Greatest Armies & Soldiers Against His Opponents. Because Your Patience & Pardoning It Necessities Your Enemy Becomes Humiliated. It Would Cause Your Enemy To Fear You, In Return He Would Also Fear The People. As When The People See Him Doing Wrong The People Would Dislike Him. Even Though, He May Remain Quiet The People Would Not Remain Quiet. But, If You Take Revenge You Would Lose All This.
• Nineteenth: If You Pardon, You Would Have Not Allowed Coming Down To The Level of The Disputer. But, If You Don’t (Pardon & Forgive) You Are Upon His Level. His Enemy Would Feel That His Harming Is Above Him In Level. He Would Be Forced To Acknowledge This. Just The Mere Fact, You’re Not Coming Down To His Level It Brings You Honour & You Keep Your Honour. And For That Reason, You Pardon & You Don’t Come Down To His Level’
• Twentieth: By Pardoning & Forgiving This Is Refereed To A Good Deed. And In Return, This Good Deed Would Give Birth To A Good Deed & That Good Deed Would Give Birth To Another Good Deed. For Indeed, The Reward For Good Is Good & Recompose For An Evil Action Is An Evil. Perhaps, This May Be The Reason For His Success & Constant Happiness. However, If He Takes Revenge All of This May Be Removed ‘
