:: To forgive and make reconciliation ::

By having a strong faith in Allah, SubhanAllah Wa Ta'ala, you will forgive the one who transgresses against you. 

Better yet is to have good wishes for that same person. And the highest and best level - higher than simply forgiving or simply wishing him well - is to benefit or help him in some way.

The first stage of forgiveness is to repress your anger, which means that you don't reciprocate injury with injury. Then comes actual forgiveness, which means to pardon and to discard any feelings of ill will. And then finally comes doing good, or in other words, to recompense the harm that was acted out on you with a good deed or a show of kindness.

Those who spend ((freely)), whether in prosperity, or in adversity; who restrain anger, and pardon (all) men;- for Allah loves Those who do good;-
( سورة آل عمران , Aal-e-Imran, Chapter #3, Verse #134)

The recompense for an injury is an injury equal Thereto (in degree): but if a person forgives and makes reconciliation, his reward is due from Allah. for ((Allah)) loveth not those who do wrong.
( سورة الشورى , Ash-Shura, Chapter #42, Verse #40)

Let not those among you? who are endued with grace and amplitude of means resolve by oath against helping their kinsmen, those in want, and those who have left their homes in Allah.s cause: let them forgive and overlook, do you? not wish that Allah should forgive you?? For Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
( سورة النور , An-Noor, Chapter #24, Verse #22)
