Have you ever wondered how Allah will remove غِلّ (ghill) from the hearts of people in Paradise?
Have you ever thought about why you feel uncomfortable around a certain person, even though you have no enmity toward them and you are secure in yourself? Yet, you still feel uncomfortable talking to them, or you simply do not feel comfortable around them.
What is it that does not allow you to come close to them?
Let’s go into detail about this.
You may have seen someone doing something bad, and because of that, you no longer like that person. So, you choose to keep your distance from them.
Someone may have bullied you. They may even apologize to you, and you may forgive them. But then you still tell them, “It’s okay, but stay away from me.”
You may also feel hasad toward someone. Perhaps you feel that you are more deserving than they are.
All of these things are forms of غِلّ (ghill).
It can mean:
Rancour, malice, deep-seated grudge, or resentment.
The reason behind it can be anything. But what is interesting is: why does it not completely disappear in this world, and why will Allah remove it from your heart only in the Hereafter?
Allah says in the Qur’an:
Surah Al-A‘raf 7:43
وَنَزَعۡنَا مَا فِىۡ صُدُوۡرِهِمۡ مِّنۡ غِلٍّ
«“And We will remove whatever is within their breasts of rancor [or resentment].”»
Now, if you observe it carefully, this غِلّ is not simply a feeling that makes you uncomfortable.
Sometimes, you try very hard to let go. You become tired from resisting this feeling, but you still cannot help it.
Why?
Because you are forcing yourself to forget the memory.
And the more you force that memory away, the more it keeps hurting you—like a thorn stuck inside your heart.
This is why you may feel that your heart is heavy whenever you think about a particular person.
Why?
Because there is some kind of memory between you and that person that has hurt you.
You may even forgive that person, but the memory is still there in your mind.
And that memory remains like a thorn stuck inside your heart.
Now imagine someone removes that thorn from your heart.
What would happen?
You would forget the pain and the suffering.
And whatever feeling you had against that person would disappear, because the memory has been restored.
This is so beautiful: Allah explains it in this way because He is
ٱلْجَبَّارُ — Al-Jabbār.
The Compeller, The Restorer.
Your heart becomes new again, just as you were when you were born: pure, beautiful, innocent, and free from hatred, bitterness, and every harsh feeling that life may have placed within you.
