Reflections & Words of Wisdom
Allah is forgiving and merciful, and His mercy encompasses everything. We should never lose hope in Allah's mercy for ourselves and for others.
We should also remember that Allah's mercy encompasses everything: His commands, prohibitions, and divine decrees are all according to His perfect knowledge, wisdom, and mercy.
It is our responsibility to expect the best from Allah, trust Him, and work hard to bring ourselves and others closer to Him. The more we learn about Him, love Him, and submit to Him, the more we will be able to appreciate His mercy. One of the best ways to come closer to this divine mercy is to be more merciful to each other. We pray that Allah will allow us to benefit from His mercy and be more merciful to each other. Ameen.
Hadeeth of the Day
Hadith (Prophetic Tradition)
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger () as saying:
There are one hundred (parts of) mercy for Allah and He has sent down out of these one part of mercy upon the jinn and human beings and animals and the insects, and it is because of this (one part) that they love one another, show kindness to one another and even the beast treats its young one with affection, and Allah has reserved ninety nine parts of mercy with which He would treat His servants on the Day of Resurrection.
(Sahih Muslim)
