Silence is better
It must be emphasized that although it is permitted to retaliate in equal measure, it is best to remain silent.
The Holy Qur’an says;
“And the recompense to evil is punishment like it, but whoever forgives and amends, he shall have his reward from Allah, surely He does not love the unjust.”
(Surah Ash-ShÅ«rÄ 42:40)
Allah (S.w.T.) also says:
“And it is nearer to righteousness that you should relinquish.”
(Surah al-Baqarah 2:237)
