39:53 - Say: "O my Servants who have transgressed against their souls! Despair not of the Mercy<br />

of Allah: for Allah forgives all sins: for He is Oft-Forgiving Most Merciful. 4324<br />

4324 Forgives all sins: i.e., on sincere repentance and amendment of conduct. (39.53)<br />

57:13 - One day will the Hypocrites men and women say to the Believers: "Wait for us! let us<br />

borrow (a light) from your Light!" It will be said: "turn ye back to your rear! then seek a light<br />

(where ye can)!" So a wall will be put up betwixt them with a gate therein. Within it will be<br />

Mercy throughout and without it all alongside will be (wrath and) Punishment! 52905291<br />

57:28 - O ye that believe! fear Allah and believe in His apostle and He will bestow on you a double<br />

portion of His Mercy: He will provide for you a light by which ye shall walk (straight in your<br />

path) and He will forgive you (your past): For Allah is Oft-Forgiving. Most Merciful:<br />

5325 From the context before (see n. 5323 above) and after (see next note), this is held to refer to the Christians and<br />

People of the Book who kept their Faith true and undefiled. (57.28)<br />

5326 The double portion refers to the past and the future. As noted in the last note, this passage is addressed to the<br />

Christians and the People of the Book, who, when honestly facing the question of the new Revelation in Islam, find in<br />

it the fulfilment of previous revelations, and therefore believe in Allah's Messenger Muhammad, and walk by the new<br />

light. Their previous merits will be duly recognised, and they will be treated on fully equal terms in the new Ummat.<br />

This is their double share, not necessarily more in quantity than that of their brethren in Islam who passed through no<br />

other gate, but having a twofold aspect. (57.28)<br />

5327 As this refers to the Christians and the People of the Book, the following saying of Christ in his last days may interest<br />

them: "Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you... While ye<br />

have the fight, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and<br />

did hide himself from them". (John, xii. 35-36). The light of Christ's Gospel soon departed; his Church was enveloped<br />

in darkness; then came the fight again, in the fuller light of Islam. And they are asked to believe in the light, and to<br />

walk in it. Cf. also lvii. 12. and n. 5288 above. (57.28)<br />

5328 Any wrong they may have committed through ignorance or misconceptions in their previous religion will be forgiven<br />

them, as they have seen the new light and walk by it. (57.28)<br />

79:3 - And by those who glide along (on errands of mercy) 5919<br />

110:3 - Celebrate the Praises of thy Lord and pray for His Forgiveness: for He is Oft-Returning (in<br />

Grace and Mercy). 6293<br />

Hadith 6631<br />

AbuHurayrah<br />

Narrated by<br />

Allah's Apostle (peace be upon him) said: There are one hundred (parts of) mercy of Allah and He has sent down out of these<br />

one part of mercy upon the jinn and human beings and the insects and it is because of this (one part) that they love one<br />

another, show kindness to one another and even the beast treats its young one with affection, and Allah has reserved ninetynine<br />

parts of mercy with which He would treat His servants on the Day of Resurrection.<br />

Sunan of Abu-Dawood<br />

Hadith 1303<br />

wife; if she refuses, he should sprinkle water on her face. May Allah have mercy on a woman who gets up at night and prays,<br />

and awakens her husband; if he refuses, she would sprinkle water on his face.<br />
