Mercy of God Prevails Over His Wrath _ Could This Be War ?

Mercy in Islam extends to the enemy in times of war and peace , as the Prophet Muhammad used to encourage their peers to maintain family ties with relatives who were still disbelievers calling and giving gifts . God

As for war , Allah commands Muslims to grant refuge to the enemies you have to ask , and forbids anyone to harm them. This is stated in the Quran where God says what means: Mercy

" If one of the heathens We ask asylum , grant it so you can hear the word of God, and then escort you to where you can be safe. This is because they are men without knowledge" ( Quran 9:06 ) God

As the Prophet forbade his companions to affect the elderly , wounded , women, children and people in places of worship. Also prohibited the destruction of the fields. Degrading the corpses of the enemies was strictly forbidden and give them a quick burial was the respect commanded. War

The orders of the Prophet about the captives were strictly followed by his companions. In one of the stories of a battle joined us for a prisoner , he said he lived with a Muslim family after being captured . Whenever they had their food which is used to give preference only offering him bread while eating dates. God

When the Prophet , peace and blessings of God be upon him , entered Mecca victorious after defeating the Quraish , they were approached and asked  War

" What do you want me to treat you ? "

They replied, " You are a noble brother and the son of a noble brother ! Hope nothing but goodness from you . "

Then the Prophet said : "I speak in the same terms as Yusuf ( the Prophet Joseph ) spoke to his brothers : God

" I do not blame you that day , God will forgive you , He is the Most Merciful , the Most Merciful " ( Quran 12:92 ) .

Go, for verily , you are free. "

That day, when you least expect tolerance and forgiveness , the Prophet gave the example of mercy and forgiveness for the release of all prisoners without ransom , and forgive them for the brutal persecution and torture Muslims , which lasted for the first 13 years of the message of Islam. God
All God's creatures

The animals have not been ignored and have received many rights in Islam. For example , when the Prophet saw a donkey with a strong face, said :

"Have you not heard that cursed all those brands an animal on your face or that the strike in the face? " ( Sahih Muslim) . God

The Prophet once said that the woman was sent to Hell because of a cat she imprisoned it , nor power , nor set it free to hunt their own food. On the other hand , the Prophet said : A man went to heaven for giving water to a dog in the desert panting with thirst.

The Prophet forbade that knives should be sharpened against animals before slaughter . Also banned the slaughter of an animal before another . This is clear in one of the prophetic sayings :

" God calls for mercy in everything, so be merciful when you kill and when you slaughter : Sharpen your blade to relieve its pain " ( Sahih Al- Bukhari) . God

One of the partners related to this incident : When traveling with the Prophet , they found a bird with its young , so her mother took . The bird came and began to flap its wings, so the Prophet asked :

"Who has distressed this bird by taking its young ? Turn immediately " ( Sahih Al- Bukhari) .

Animal rights were confirmed by the prophet, saying that anyone who has something like a life goal is cursed . Forcing animals to fight until the other Gores is also strictly prohibited to animals have feelings and that could define torture for them. God

The Islamic concept of mercy is holistic and emphasizes the interdependence of all creation to himself and the Creator . Mercy begins with God and is granted by it to any living creature. Animals and humans show each other mercy , to live in harmony with each other , and in turn, shows that mercy , were even more of God's mercy .

This verse is confirmed by the account of the prophet Muhammad , in which he said that God said :

These verses are clearly manifested in customs and transactions of the Prophet , because it was very difficult because of the message of God. The Prophet also was softer to lead his people , and every time they are used to hurt always asked God to forgive them their ignorance and cruelty. Wrath
The companions of the Prophet

In the description of the Companions of God says in the Quran :

"Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and those who are with him are severe against disbelievers , and merciful among themselves " ( Qur'an 48:29 ) .

Some people may think it's obvious that Muhammad be moral , because he is a prophet, but the Companions were ordinary people who have dedicated their lives to the obedience of Allah and His Prophet . For example , Abu Bakr As- Siddiq has devoted his entire fortune to buy slaves from their masters brutal and released by the love of God.

Clarify when the true concept of the mercy of his companions, the Prophet said that is not in his kindness to family and friends, but by the mercy and compassion for the general public , if you know or not. Wrath
A Mercy "Petite "

Among the traditions pre - Islamic were heartless offered his son as a sacrifice to the gods and burying girls alive . These acts against children were strictly forbidden by the Qur'an and Sunnah many times.

As the Prophet of mercy towards children , which was once the Imamate and grand son, Al- Hassan and Al- Hussein were still children playing and climbing on the back , so that the fear of her making bad if you have to endure the Prophet prolonged his prostration. On another occasion , the Prophet made ​​his prayers while using Umamah her ​​granddaughter.

The Prophet's kindness not only accords to its own children, but also extends to the children playing in the street. As soon as they saw the Prophet , they ran to him and he would get everyone with a smile and open arms.

Even during prayer Prophet's innate goodness was clear , as he said :

In many situations, the Prophet taught us how children should be raised in a loving , loving , and should not be beaten or wounded in the face , to avoid humiliation . When a man once saw the Prophet kissing his small son, who was surprised by the friendliness of the Prophet and said : " I have ten children, but never kissed one of them. " The Prophet replied :

To make you feel appreciated and orphan who has lost the love of their parents , there are still people who are willing to love and care for him , the Prophet encouraged kindness saying that a person is rewarded for good deeds of hair caressing the head of an orphan .

The protection of the property of an orphan was clearly confirmed by God and His Prophet . For example , God says what means:

A prophetic saying also informs us that one of the seven major sins is devouring the property of orphans .

The Divine Mercy of God - Sin

How Mercy of God extends to those who fall into sin
The mercy of God is intimately close to each of us , waiting to hug when we're ready . Islam recognizes the human propensity to sin , because God created man weak. The Prophet said :

" All the children of Adam constantly Uh ..."

At the same time, we know that God forgives sins. Continuing the hadith :

" ... But the best will always err are those who constantly repent . " ( Al- Tirmidhi , Ibn Majah, Ahmad , Hakim )

God says :

" Say: "O My servants who have transgressed against their souls ! Despair not of the mercy of God , for God forgives all sins: for He is Forgiving, Merciful " ( Quran 39:53 ) .

Muhammad , the Prophet of Mercy , was charged to convey the good news to all peoples ;

" Tell My servants that I am the Forgiving, the Merciful . " ( Quran 15:49)

Repentance brings God's mercy:

" ... Why not , instead, ask God to forgive your sins, so that you might be honored in his mercy " ( Quran 27:46 )

" ... The mercy of God is always near those who do" ( Quran 7:56 )

Since ancient times, the saving mercy of God saved the misfortune awaiting faithful

" And so, when Our judgment came to pass , by Our grace We saved Hud and those who shared his faith .... " ( Quran 11:58 )

" And so, when Our judgment came to pass , by Our grace We saved Shu'ayb and those who share their faith .... " ( Quran 11:94 )

Fullness of God's compassion toward the sinner can be seen in the following :
1. God accepts repentance

" God does not want to turn to you, but the will of those who follow the passions that you should turn ( him) , - far, far away " ( Qur'an 4:27 ) .

" Do you not know that Allah accepts repentance from His servants and receives their gifts of charity, and God is in him indeed Forgiving, Merciful. " ( Quran 9:104 )
Two . God loves the sinner who repents

" ... God loves those who repent .... " ( Quran 2:22 )

The Prophet said :

" If humanity should not commit sins, God would create creatures who commit sins , forgive them, for He is Forgiving, Merciful . " ( Al- Tirmidhi , Ibn Majah, Musnad Ahmed )
Three . God is pleased when the sinner repents because he realizes that he has a Lord who forgives sins !

The Prophet said :

" God is more pleased with the repentance of His servant when he repents , that one of you would be ( he found his ) camel, which was conducted in an arid desert , having escaped with their food and drink. After despaired of him , hit a tree and settled in the shade. then when he was desperate for it, the camel came and stood next to him and grabbed the reins and shouted with joy : "Oh God, You are my servant and I am your Lord '- to make this error (text) from excessive joy " ( Sahih Muslim) ! .
April . Door of repentance is open day and night

The mercy of God extends forgiveness every day and every night of the year. The Prophet said :
" God extends his hand at night to accept the repentance of those who sinned during the day, and runs during the day to accept the repentance of those who sinned during the night - until [ the day when the sun ] coming out the west ( one of the major signs of the Day of Judgment) . " ( Sahih Muslim)
May . God accepts repentance Although sins are repeated

On several occasions , God shows his compassion for the sinner . The goodness of God to the children of Israel can be seen before the sin of the golden calf had been committed , God dealt with Israel, according to his compassion , even after his sin , He addressed them with mercy. Ar - Rahman said :

" ... And when we name Moses forty nights [ on Mount Sinai ] , and in his absence you took to worshiping the [ golden ] calf , and thus became evildoers : yet even after that, we remove this your sin , so you might be grateful. " ( Quran 2:51-52 )

The Prophet said :

" A man who has committed a sin and said :"Lord , forgive me my sins , " if God said," My servant has committed a sin and realized that he has a Lord who forgives sins and punish you for that. " then the man repeated the sin , and then said,"Lord, forgive my sin. God says : " My servant has committed a sin and realized that he has a Lord who forgives sins and punish you for it. Repeated man sin ( for the third time ) , and then said,"Lord, forgive my sins , " and God says : " My servant has committed a sin and realized that he has a Lord who forgives sins and punish you for it. Do what you want , and I have forgiven you . " ( Sahih Muslim)
June . Entering Islam erases all previous sins

The Prophet said that accepting Islam wipes all past sins of the new Muslim , no matter how bad they were in a condition: the new Muslim accepts Islam pure for God. Some people asked the Messenger of Allah : ' O Messenger of God! ? Are we going to be responsible for what we did during the days of ignorance before accepting Islam, " he said

"Whoever accepts Islam pure God is not responsible , but the fact that for any other reason will be responsible for the time before and after Islam . " ( Sahih Al- Bukhari , Sahih Muslim)

Despite the mercy of God is sufficient to cover all sin , it is the responsibility of a free man to behave properly. It takes discipline and hard work in the way of salvation . Hello in the law of Islam considers faith and uphold the law , not a mere belief in God. We are imperfect and weak, and God created us this way. When we fall short , according to the sacred law , the God of love is ready to forgive . Forgiveness is received simply confess their sins to God alone and begging for mercy , with the intention of not returning .. However, we must always remember that heaven is not earned by virtue of their own actions , but is given by divine mercy . The Prophet of Mercy made ​​this clear :

"None of you will enter Paradise by his deeds alone . " They asked, " Not even you , O Messenger of Allah?" He said, " Not even me , unless God covers me with His grace and mercy. " ( Sahih Muslim)

Belief in God, to keep His law , and good works are considered the cause, not the price of admission to Paradise.

The Divine Mercy of God - Its Warm Embrace

Mercy , as manifested in this life and the afterlife

Divine Mercy envelops all existence within, ever lasting . The benevolent Lord of mankind is merciful to them , full of compassion. The name of God , Ar - Rahman , suggests that mercy is a key aspect of his being , the fullness of His compassion is limitless , bottomless an ocean without shores. Ar -Razi , a traditional Islamic scholars wrote, " It is unimaginable for creation to be more merciful than God himself ! Effect Islam teaches that God is more merciful with a human being his / her own mother.

In the great mercy of God , He sends water to produce fruit in the orchards to provide for the human body . The soul needs spiritual food and intense in the same way the body needs food . In his rich mercy , God has sent prophets and messengers to humans and scriptures revealed to them through the human mind. The Divine Mercy appears in the Torah of Moses :

" ... In the writing was guidance and mercy for those in fear of their Lord . " ( Quran 7:154 )

And the revelation of the Qur'an :

" ... This [ revelation ] is a means of knowledge of their Lord , and to provide guidance and mercy for the believers . " ( Quran 7:203 )

Mercy is not granted a merit of their ancestors. Divine Mercy is given to act on the Word of God and listen to his prayer :

" And it ( the Qur'an ) is a book we have given above , a blessed : follow , then, and be aware of God , that ye may have the honor of his mercy " ( Quran 6:155 ) .

" So when you recite the Quran , listen, and listen in silence , to be graced with mercy [ God ] . " ( Quran 7:204 )

Mercy is the result of obedience :

" Therefore, ( O believers ) Be constant in prayer , and make the purifying dues , and obey the Messenger , so that you might be graced with God's mercy . " ( Quran 24:56 )

The mercy of God is the hope of man . Therefore, believers pray to God for his mercy :

"Affliction came to me , but you are the most merciful of the merciful " ( Qur'an 21:83) !

They implore the mercy of God to the faithful :

" Our Lord , let not our hearts deviate from the truth after You have guided us and grant us the gift of mercy : verily, Thou art the [true ] Giver of gifts . " ( Quran 3:08 )

And they implore God's mercy for their parents :

" ...Oh , my Lord , Give us your compassion for them , but I got when I was a kid " ( Quran 17:24)
Assignment of Divine Mercy

Catches of divine mercy in their believers and unbelievers , the obedient and the rebellious arms , but in the afterlife , which is reserved for the faithful. Ar - Rahman is merciful to every creature in the world, but his mercy is reserved for the faithful in the afterlife. Ar - Rahim distribute mercy for the believers on the Day of Judgment :

" ... With my punishment hurts I want - but my mercy overtakes , so I will give those who fear me, and spend in charity , and who believe in Our signs - those who have to follow the [ last ] Messenger , the unlettered Prophet , whom they find written in the Torah that is with them , and in the Gospel .... " ( Quran 7:156-157 )

Recognition Divine Mercy is described by the Prophet of Islam :

"God created one hundred parts of mercy . Placed a hand between his creation, because they do not have compassion for others . God has stored the remaining ninety nine portions for Judgment Day to honor his slaves . " ( Sahih Al- Bukhari , Sahih Muslim, Tirmidhi and others. )

A single serving of divine mercy fills the heavens and the earth , human beings are like beasts and birds drink .

Moreover, divine mercy manifested on the Day of Judgment is greater than what we see in this life as a divine punishment will be more intense than what we experience here . The Prophet of Islam said the two ends of these divine attributes :

" If a believer should know that the punishment God has stored , it will not despair and you do not expect it to Heaven. If an unbeliever must know the great mercy of God , not one will be desperate to go to Paradise. " ( Sahih Al- Bukhari , Sahih Muslim, Tirmidhi )

However, the Islamic doctrine of divine mercy divine wrath replaces :

" Actually, my mercy supersedes my punishment . " ( Sahih Al- Bukhari , Sahih Muslim)

The Divine Mercy of God - God the Most-Merciful, the Dispenser of Mercy

A concrete explanation of the two names most often repeated Allah Ar - Ar Rahman - Rahim , and the nature of perfect and harmonious Mercy of God

If someone asked , "Who is your God ? A Muslim response would be: " The Beneficent, the Merciful . . "According to Islamic sources , the prophets , while insisting on the judgment of God, as proclaimed mercy in the Muslim scripture , God is presented as :

" He is God, besides Whom there is no deity , Knower of the unseen and the testimony is the - .. Compassionate , the Merciful " ( Quran 59:22 )

Vocabulary in the Islamic al- Rahman al- Rahim and are personal names of the living God . Both are derived from rahma name , which means "mercy" , "compassion" and " tenderness " . Ar - Rahman describes the nature of God to be merciful , and AR - Rahim describes his acts of piety provided its creation , a subtle difference , but it shows all the universal mercy .

" Say: " call upon God , or call Merciful ( Ar - Rahman ) , as his name is called - to Him belong the Most Beautiful Names .... " ( Quran 17:110 )

These two names are some of the names used by God in the Quran : ar - Rahman is used fifty-seven times, while al- Raheem is used twice (one hundred fourteen) [On the contrary, the ‘Merciful’ does not appear as a divine name in the Bible. (Jewish Encyclopedia, ‘Names of God,’ p. 163)] A greater sense vehicle . kindness, the Prophet said :

" In fact , God is good and loves goodness. Agrees with what kindness does not agree with the harshness . " ( Sahih Muslim)

Both are divine attributes which means God's relationship with creation.

"Praise be to Allah , the Lord of all the worlds . Compassionate, the Merciful " ( Quran 1:2-3 )

In a prayer that Muslims recite at least seventeen times a day , starting to say :

"In the name of God , the Compassionate , the Merciful . Praise be to Allah , the Lord of all the worlds, the Beneficent, the Merciful " ( Quran 1:1-3 ) .

These powerful words evoke a divine response :

" When the servant says: " Praise be to Allah , the Lord of all the worlds , I ( God ) said: " My servant has praised Me . When he says : " Most Gracious, Most Merciful , I ( God ) said: " My servant has praised me . " ( Sahih Muslim)

These names constantly remind Muslim divine mercy surrounding . All but one of the chapters of the Muslim scripture begins with the phrase : "In the name of God, the - Compassionate , the Merciful . " Muslims begin in the name of God to express their ultimate dependence on it and remember mercy God every time I eat , drink , write a letter or do something important. Flowers spirituality banal. invocation at the beginning of every common act , it is important to call God's blessing on this law and enshrines . the formula is a popular decorative motif of manuscripts and architectural ornamentation .

Distribution requires someone mercy mercy shown . He who shows mercy to be in need . Perfect thank you to care for the needy , then infinite mercy extends to those who need or do not need , the extension of this world wonderful life after death .

In Islamic doctrine , human beings in a personal relationship with the God loving, merciful , always ready to forgive our sins and to answer prayers , but there is no mercy in the human sense of feeling pain and sorrow for one trouble. God becomes human to understand suffering . Instead, God's mercy is an attribute worth his holiness , bringing divine favor and help.

The mercy of God is immense :

" Say: "Infinite is the Lord , in your mercy .... " ( Quran 6:147 )

Extend all existence :

" ... My mercy encompasses all things .... " ( Quran 7:156 )

Creation itself is an expression of divine grace , mercy and love. God invites us to observe the effects of mercy around us :

" Here, then , (O man) , the signs of God's mercy - how He gives life to the earth after its death ! ... " ( Quran 30:50 )
God loves the Merciful

God loves compassion. Muslims view Islam is a religion of mercy . For them, their prophet is God's gift of mercy to all mankind :

" And (thus ,O Prophet ) you have sent you as [ an evidence of Our ] mercy to all the worlds. " ( Quran 21:107 )

As they believe that Jesus was God's mercy to people :

" And you can do a symbol of humanity and an act of mercy for us. " ( Quran 19:21)

A daughter of the Prophet Muhammad , peace and blessings of God be upon him , sent for her sick child. He reminded that God is the giver, He is the one who takes , and each has a specific duration. Recalled that is patient. When the news of the death of his son succeeded him , tears ran from his eyes compassion . His colleagues were surprised . The Prophet of Mercy said :

" This is the compassion that God has placed in the hearts of his servants . Of all His servants, God will have mercy and compassion. " ( Sahih al- Bukhari)

Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy , as the Prophet Muhammad :

" God will have mercy on one who is not merciful to people. " ( Sahih Al- Bukhari)

He said :

" The Merciful shows mercy to the merciful . Have mercy on those on earth , and the One above the heavens will have mercy on you . " ( At- Tirmidhi )
