Dream - Prayers for those who hurt our hearts should not be directed with ill intentions. Often, when the heart feels hurt, someone whose emotions are burning will utter harsh words or even pray for misfortune to befall the person who has hurt them. However, in the teachings of Islam, this action is not recommended. No matter how bad someone's treatment is, we are taught by the Prophet Muhammad to continue praying for their goodness. It is hoped that the prayer will become a door of guidance and awareness for those who have hurt us.

This has also been demonstrated by the Prophet Muhammad SAW. He often received insults, abuse, and even bad behavior from people who rejected his teachings. However, the Prophet SAW still treated them well. For example, when there was a blind person who mocked Prophet Muhammad SAW, instead the Prophet SAW would feed the blind person every day while listening to his stories that contained mockery of the Prophet SAW.

"Allahumma inni as-aluka nafsan bika muthmainnatan tu'minu biliqaa-ika wa tardha biqadha-ika wa taqna’u bi ‘athaika." Translation: "O Allah, I ask You for a contented soul that believes in meeting You, is pleased with Your decree, and is satisfied with Your provision."

It is important for us to keep our speech in order not to hurt others' feelings. As Muslims, we need to seek help from Allah SWT to be given guidance and strength to guard our speech. One way is by reciting a prayer to keep our tongue from uttering words that hurt others. This prayer is mentioned by Syekh Abdul Fattah Abu Ghuddah in the book Risâlah al-Mustarsyidîn.
