How do we understand the Mercy of Allah (SWT)? There’s a very powerful ayah in Surah Zumar in which Allah (SWT) reminds us and comforts us, 'Oh My slaves who have wronged themselves and committed excessive sins, never despair from the Mercy of Allah.' Why? He continues, 'Allah can and will forgive all sins. He is the constantly forgiving and the constantly merciful.' (39:53) Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates a very powerful Hadith from the Prophet (ﷺ) that is found in the collection of Sahih Bukhari. The Prophet (ﷺ) said that when Allah (SWT) created the creation, He wrote in His Book about Himself (meaning: He decreed and promised this about His dealings with us)

"your lord has taken upon himself to be merciful". when i read this, i was in utter shock. the creator, who has nothing to gain by doing so, is so forgiving, no matter how big the sin. it made me cry. and starting today, i'll do my best. i love Allah.

Two times in this chapter OUR Lord reminded us that He has taken upon Himself to be Merciful. I never noticed this before. Why would Allah swt tell us this twice, in the same surah ? This surah covers so much , but to me what stood out was the internal struggle of man. Our internal struggles include Our Iman in Allah , finding Him and then never losing Him. Our reaction in hardships, understanding them and never letting them overtake us Our reaction after commiting sins, repenting from them and never letting them make us lose hope. If we keep reminding ourselves just like how OUR Lord keeps reminding us of His mercy, we won't fall into despair and loss. Bi ithnillah

La première des choses que va vivre Adam alaihi salam une fois insufflé c'est l'éternuement. Et Allah va lui inspirer le HAMD, iI va lui apprendre à dire Al hamdoulilah premier mot prononcé... Puis Dieu va lui dire va saluer les ANGES en lui inspirant le SALAM et en lui enseignant la meilleure façon de saluer en se souhaitant la PAIX...Ces toutes dernières années le monde a été mis en déroute par un virus, qui nous a tous fait tousser et éternuer, jusqu'à aujourd'hui. Peut-être aussi, est ce pour nous réinviter a repasser par la case départ du HAMMD et pour pouvoir (re) trouver le SALAM. LA PAIX ! que l'on a tant déconsidérer. L'éternuement instaure un dialogue...un échange on se souhaite

Verse 6:12 and Verse 6:54

قُل لِّمَن مَّا فِی ٱلسَّمَـٰوَ ٰ⁠تِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۖ قُل لِّلَّهِۚ كَتَبَ عَلَىٰ نَفۡسِهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَةَۚ لَیَجۡمَعَنَّكُمۡ إِلَىٰ یَوۡمِ ٱلۡقِیَـٰمَةِ لَا رَیۡبَ فِیهِۚ ٱلَّذِینَ خَسِرُوۤا۟ أَنفُسَهُمۡ فَهُمۡ لَا یُؤۡمِنُونَ Al-Anʿām, Ayah 12

وَإِذَا جَاۤءَكَ ٱلَّذِینَ یُؤۡمِنُونَ بِـَٔایَـٰتِنَا فَقُلۡ سَلَـٰمٌ عَلَیۡكُمۡۖ كَتَبَ رَبُّكُمۡ عَلَىٰ نَفۡسِهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَةَ أَنَّهُۥ مَنۡ عَمِلَ مِنكُمۡ سُوۤءَۢا بجهالة ثُمَّ تَابَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِۦ وَأَصۡلَحَ فَأَنَّهُۥ غَفُورࣱ رحيم Al-Anʿām, Ayah 54

The Quran’s timeless message, a mercy and guidance to all mankind, is full of reminders of Allah’s mercy. In Surat Al-An’ām we find two examples in verses 12 and 54. I had not not
