Allah being merciful

I wanted to make a thread on this but couldn't figure if I should do it here. I don't have aversion against the Quran, Allah, and so have you so keep it positive.

To anyone who knows this-please answer more than a couple of sentences. I'm actually curious.

In the bible, jesus walks on water and heals the dead to show that by faith a christian can do "the same thing" (or have the power of god behind their faith to make miraculous things happen).

Jesus also had conversations and lessons (like the mustard seed) to show the different levels of faith people can have from rocky soil to good soil and who an actual good/half/bad followers are in his father.

There are many examples of god (say jesus) being merciful beyond the claims. Actions that support the claim rather than the claim support itself.

Does the Quran have any examples of Allah being merciful?

If mercifulness can only be shown in practice, and not everyone is a Muslim, does Allah not love them (as a creator of all people)?

In christianity it is said that god loves all people just some choose not to follow. In the Quran, it sounds like god does not love all people only those who choose to follow.

Are these things true?

'Ar-Rahman' is one of His names, as I recall, and means 'The Merciful'. It is said that All-h sent Muhammad as a mercy to mankind.

Quran in surah 28, ayah 73 says,

“And out of His Mercy He made for you the night and the day that you may rest therein and [by day] seek from His Bounty and [that] perhaps you will be grateful.”

Another ayah says,

“O My servants who have transgressed against their souls! Do not despair of the Mercy of God: for God forgives all sins: for He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.”

I believe Muhammad himself was meant to be a living example, sent to mankind.

Oh. I was thinking more like god working through people (Moses, Jesus, et cetera) to show his love. Miracles and things of that nature. For example, if I were Muslim and wanted to know what god meant by love, (as a visual learner) I can connect not only by what I practice but what god did as well for people who practiced.

Are there charity, miracles, et cetera in the Quran?

I couldn't find any so far online. There are metaphors but I can't find stories of Allah doing anything by miracle. I'm wondering if the Quran is set up that way.

Solomon talks to birds,

And Sulaiman (Solomon) inherited (the knowledge of) Dawud (David). He said: "O mankind! We have been taught the language of birds, and on us have been bestowed all things. This, verily, is an evident grace (from Allah)."

The virgin birth,

[19:20] She said: How can I have a son when no mortal hath touched me, neither have I been unchaste?
[19:21] He said: So (it will be). Thy Lord saith: It is easy for Me. And (it will be) that We may make of him a revelation for mankind and a mercy from Us, and it is a thing ordained.
[19:22] And she conceived him, and she withdrew with him to a far place.

Jesus speaking as a baby,

[19:29] Then she pointed to him. They said: How can we talk to one who is in the cradle, a young boy?
[19:30] He spake: Lo! I am the slave of Allah. He hath given me the Scripture and hath appointed me a Prophet,[...]

These are miracles.

One aspect of the Mercy of Allah to His slaves is that He sent the Messengers and revealed the Books and laws to organize their lives according to the ways of wisdom, far removed from hardship and difficulty. Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“And We have sent you (O Muhammad) not but as a mercy for the ‘alameen (mankind, jinn and all that exists).” [21:107]

The Mercy of Allah is what will admit His believing slaves to Paradise on the Day of Resurrection. No one will ever enter Paradise because of his deeds alone, as the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “No one’s deeds will ever admit him to Paradise.” They said, “Not even you, O Messenger of Allah?” He said, “No, not even me, unless Allah showers me with His Mercy. So try to be near to perfection. And no one should wish for death; he is either doing good so he will do more of that, or he is doing wrong so he may repent.”

It's a very bad example for humanity, a man that fought in wars, killed countless people, had many wives, some being children, I can go on and on, he is no different then Hitler.

Yes there is an argument to be made there but that's not the topic at hand.

You think Muhammad was a nice person, like Jesus? Think again. When you go to war and kill people, you are no spiritual person, you are a pawn in life's hands, a carnal man that has not still evolved from his primitive nature, the egoic nature.

I have no aversion against the Quran. So, please keep it positive.

the language of the birds, or enochian language, or the green language, is the language of the heart, poetry.


this is why it called the green language because the smaragdine stone. it is the food/language of the gods. it is also the hidden manna. John 4:32


acts 17:28


man does not live by bread alone but by every word of love

deuteronomy 8:3

In discussing Islam's Allah's mercy you said "keep it positive,"

Nothing is more positive than hope. Let us assure ourselves that oil-rich Arab world will donate generously to those displaced by negative adherents to Islam, as soon as they sever their link to them and stop ordering them. Thinking positive, lets hope the US will some day find a reason to stop fighting against Islamics.

There was a Twilight Zone episode with Billy Mumy, called "It's A Good Life." Six year old Anthony Fremont won't allow negative thoughts, and turns bad people into Jack-In-The-Boxes, then wishes them into the corn field, and it is good that Anthony turns people into toys and wishes them into the corn field. Anthony only permits TV on one channel (cartoons all day long), and it is good that Anthony only has one channel. Anthony tells everyone when to go to bed, and it is good that Anthony tells everyone when to go to bed.

If we are ordered to say that all things are good, "all things are good."

The link above says that the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) formed a Filiino Muslim separatist movement in the early 1990's. They came as peaceful Muslims, and were ousted as radical terrorists on "lightly guarded or soft targets" according to the analysis of the Central Intelligence Agency.

SIGNS OF ALLAH'S MERCY:

3 Signs of Allah's Mercy to His Creation | About Islam

According to the link above by Aisha Stacey:

1. As mercy, it is not necessary to praise Allah constantly, you can save time (and money) with what I call the buck fifty prayer that quickly gets rid of the need to thank God and heed God's words.

2. Be merciful to slaves, and show compassion to orphans, friends, and family, and strangers.

3. Allah sent Muhammad as mercy to the world

4. Allah gave the Quran as a form of mercy.

5. Allah cut his mercy in 100 parts, and 1 of those 100 parts goes to his creation (animals, and mankind). Let be positive and not think of getting eaten alive by a wild mountain lion.
