A Muslim woman identified as Rukiye Abdul, displayed the most touching act of forgiveness in a video that saw her hug a young male prisoner who murdered her son, stating that the death of the latter was ordained.
The visuals which was created by a humanitarian organization called Human Kind revealed a rare example of mercy shown by the bereaved person who mentioned that her son's killers, three in number, left him in the gutter.

"I don't hate you, I can't hate you, it's not our way," she began while addressing the prisoner in a court.
"Showing rahmah (mercy), that is our way.
"And you were a baby. And you are still a child. His death was already ordained.
"Maybe the purpose is to save your life. Because you are not going to be killed by this society.
"My family will like very much to be part of your seeing a better way of life. So that this does not repeat itself because I will always be a part of your life.
"Any life that you take is not just one life. It is all that is connected to that life," says Abdul.
