MERCY IN ISLAAM
Sh Ali Abdur Rahmaan Al Huthaifie
- Imaam Medina Munawwarah -
-----------------------------
Fellow Muslims! Fear Allaah as He should be feared, for the fear of Allaah increases one in rank and prevents evils and calamity.

Brothers in faith! Life is indeed based upon certain values, an important part of which is mercy. Mercy is a great quality with which noble people are known and it is inherent in human nature. The Messenger of Allaah said, ‘Allaah divided mercy into one-hundred parts. He released one part of it to the earth by which the creatures are merciful to one another; you see a female horse or she-camel lift up her hoof so as not to trample on her young ones. Allaah then kept the remaining ninety-nine parts with Himself for the Day of Resurrection.’ (Bukhaarie).

The Almighty Allaah Himself is merciful in a way that suits His Majesty. Mercy is a perfect quality in man by which the powerful protects the weak. In spite of the fact that mercy is inherent in human nature, Islaam also came to confirm and emphasise its importance and enjoin Muslims to be merciful and compassionate, for Islaam is the religion of mercy and its injunctions are made to actualise justice, prosperity, truth and peace for man as they are also made to actualise all acts of worship for Allaah alone and destroy all falsehood and evils. Allaah tells His Messenger, “And We have sent you not but as a mercy to all the worlds.” (Al-Anbiyaa’: 107). read more

GUIDANCE
----------
Guidance (Hidaayah) is:
a) Elucidation (bayaan) and Indication (dalaalah) (to the path), then
b) Success (tawfeeq) and Inspiration (ilhaarn) (in following the path), and this comes after (the guidance of) elucidation and indication. There is no way to elucidation and indication except by means of the Messengers. So when elucidation, indication and acquaintance (of the path) has been obtained, there will occur, as a result of this the guidance of success (in following the path), the placing of faith (eemaan) in the heart and its beautification and endearment to it, making it (the heart) prefer eemaan, be pleased with it and aspire for it.
