[101] Fifth Article Our Method Is a Mercy to All Beings "We have not sent thee, save as a mercy unto all beings." (Qur'an 21:107) Praise be to God and peace and blessings be upon the bountiful mercy—the seal of the prophets and the messengers [i.e. Muhammad]—who arose with the sword before the Hour (of Resurrection) so that God may be worshiped alone and so that those who oppose His command may be humbled and brought low [this is a paraphrase of a hadith]. (Peace and blessings) be upon his family and his Companions and those who gave their loyalty to him. One who contemplates this final religion finds the effect of mercy in everything that God decrees for His servants: A worshiper who experiences the acts of worship—even those in which there is hardship and which require patience—becomes aware of the mercy in them which flows into different aspects of the life of the individual and society. As for human interactions, God decreed for humanity a method for the interactions and conduct between people in a single society—even the family, the smallest unit in society—and between neighboring societies, a fact which attests to the divinity of this religion and its being sent down from a knowing and merciful Lord for His servants. Some may be surprised when we say that the religious practice of jihad—despite the blood, corpses, and limbs which encompass it and the killing and fighting which its practice
entails—is among the most blessed acts of worship for the servants, if not the most blessed in reality, especially since many of the details of its practice in our sharia have been specified by our Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his followers, a fact which makes it one of the most important things which pertain to understanding the verse "We have not sent thee, save as a mercy unto all beings." (Qur'an 21:107) There are many questions which we need to contemplate in responding to it. Why does the sharia give great importance to this act of worship? Even if the Qur’an made it the summit of Islam, why does it decree that one who abandons it must necessarily be a hypocrite? Even one who does not try to see the truth of it is generally somewhat hypocritical. Why did the Lawgiver want to make the sustenance which comes by its means to be the greatest sustenance, even though one who is preoccupied with obtaining necessary sustenance is not preoccupied with it? Why is it "a mercy unto all beings"? We set forth these questions so that the believers may contemplate and understand them. In this article we will discuss the final question. I say (may God grant success): Those who are hostile to this act of worship in all of its details, which the Lord of the heavens ordained, range between extremists, the wicked, and the ignorant, even if they all share some level of ignorance. As for the extremists, they are the zealots and the idiots among the original infidels among the Jews and the Christians and others who accused Islam of severity and mercilessness in all of its religious practices. Their people suffer on account of their stupidity. As for the wicked, they are from the same class as the previous one and are those who say that Islam is a religion of mercy and peace and that jihad is immoderate
