The Three Beautiful Responses in the Qur’an

The Three Beautiful Responses in the Qur’an

In the Qur’an, Allah teaches us three “beautiful” ways to handle life’s struggles: ṣabr jameel (beautiful patience) in Surah Yusuf (12:18), hajr jameel (beautiful avoidance) in Surah al-Muzzammil (73:10), and ṣafḥ jameel (beautiful forgiveness) in Surah al-Hijr (15:85). 

Beautiful patience means holding on in tough times without complaining to people, only turning to Allah. 

Beautiful avoidance means stepping away from those who cause harm or trouble, but doing so calmly and with dignity, not in anger. 

Beautiful forgiveness means letting go of grudges and forgiving others with a clean heart. 

Put together, these three teach us how to stay strong, peaceful, and close to Allah when facing trials or dealing with difficult people.
