Mercy of Allah
Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim﷽

In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Especially Merciful.

Allah wrote mercy upon Himself. Then He told us so.

How to read this site

Four doorways, in order.

  1. I

    Mercy

    The Bismillah opens the Book. Al-Fatiha names Ar-Rahman and Ar-Raheem twice before a single rule is given. Allah wrote mercy upon Himself before He created creation (Bukhari 7404).

  2. II

    The Prophet ﷺ

    Allah did not introduce His Prophet ﷺ as a warning to the worlds. Not as a sword. He introduced him as a mercy. The seerah, read through that one lens.

  3. III

    The Prophets

    Twenty four lives named in the Qur'an. Five of them carried the firmest resolve. Every prophet before the seal carried a piece of the same mercy that named him.

  4. IV

    Duas (supplications)

    The asking that earned the answering. Every prophet on this site asked Allah for something. He recorded the words, the moments, and the answers He gave back.

From the Mercy thesis
Allah could have led with His power. He could have led with His majesty. He led with mercy.

The Prophet ﷺ. Current reading

Mercy to Children

He kissed his grandsons in public. He lengthened sujud because one was on his back. He said the one who does not show mercy will not be shown it.
