How can one reconcile His (the Most High) saying: "And the servants of the Most Merciful are those who walk upon the earth easily, and when the ignorant address them, they say, 'Peace'" (63) and His (the Most High) saying: "and they triumph after they have been wronged," taking into account Imam Ibn Kathir's interpretation of the second verse, and the narration "they mocked them in the verse" and "Indeed, the believer strives with his sword and his tongue"?

Allah Almighty has designated a place for forgiveness and a place for the upholding of rights, and mixing between the two leads to difficulty. Forgiveness is better than revenge, but forgiveness may become less preferable if it results in harm to others or enables the offender to commit evil. A believer has three situations with someone who has wronged them: forgiveness, which is the highest, or refraining from forgiveness so that the wrongdoer meets Allah with their sin, or retaliating in kind without excess. Seeking justice (victory) is permissible, and evidence for it has been shown, such as His (Allah's) saying: (And indeed whosoever avenges himself after he has suffered wrong, for such there is no cause of blame against them). Nevertheless, patience and forgiveness are better, as in His saying: (But indeed if any endure with patience and forgive, then verily, that is from the great affairs, [which one must have firm determination to do]). Some scholars are of the view that praising the one who avenges himself against his oppressor means having the ability to take revenge and then forgiving, which is more perfect. Those who seek justice are praised for their resolve to uphold the truth, and they are not among those who forgive out of incapacity or humiliation. In summary: forgiveness has its place, and seeking justice has its place, and sometimes revenge and upholding one's right is better to deter the offender and stop their harm.
