`Forgive seven times the one who wronged you once`

This means that when someone wrongs you one time,repeat your forgiveness of him seven times in order to keep your religion safe and your heart clean.Desiring revenge will only subtract from your nerves,sleep,stability,and peace,while taking nothing away from others.

{But whoever forgives and makes reconciliation,his reward is due from Allah.}

(Qur`an 42:40)

The indians say in one of their proverbs:

`The one who overcomes his own self is more brave than the one who conquers a city.`

[Verily,the(human)self is inclined to evil...] (Qur`an 12:53)
