Holy Prophet has told us about nine (9) things which God has ordered him to do. Some of which are --One who cuts off relations with me, I establish relations with him. --One who deprives me of something, I give (some thing) to him. --My silence be silence of thought and contemplation. In fact to forgive is most preferred way in Islam. It is highly recommended and Holy Prophet (PBUH) had forgiven all his enemies after conquering Makkah.( when he saw them lined up, he said those historical words which are translated as "Today you are all free (to go)" (The teachings of Jesus (PBUH) are similar to teachings of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH). In fact original Torah, original Bible and Quran are all part of one book as described in Quran) Junaid Zubairi
