For The Heart That's Still Hurting: Lessons on Healing from a Painful Past Through Forgiveness by Iffah Nizar talks about the heaviest, invisible weight we carry is often the pain of being hurt or betrayed by the person we trust. This pain follows us as we move on with our lives—sometimes it stays quiet, hidden deep within the layers of our heart. Other times, it resurfaces unwillingly to remind us that no matter how far we run or how strong we become, we're still anchored to a past we can't let go.
Forgive and forget? Not that easy. 'I'm the one who's hurting' - says the heart.
Let it go? 'Why does it feel so unfair? Why do forgiving and letting go feel like erasing everything we went through?' - argues the heart.
Oh Allah Ghaffar, why me? Is there a way for me to forgive so that my heart will be set free?
In this book, author Iffah Nizar illustrates the healing journey of understanding forgiveness and reclaiming the strength to move forward after being chained to the past for so long—for the heart that's still hurting. And more than anything, the author often forgets that the heart is not theirs to control. It is Allah SWT who created it, who gives it a soul. The attempt to fix the heart without asking for Allah SWT, who holds it to heal it, is a central theme.
