After a misunderstanding or minor dispute, silence can harden into suspicion and resentment. A greeting, apology, respectful conversation, or appropriate mediation can help restore relations.
Example 1: Two students stop greeting one another after an argument during a competition. One initiates a greeting and addresses the dispute calmly.
Example 2: Two friends quarrel over money. Reconciliation should include clarity and fairness about the underlying right, not merely a superficial peace while the harm continues.
In فَمَنْ هَجَرَ, هَجَرَ is past tense: “whoever shunned.”
