Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى is the Creator of this Universe, the Earth and the Heavens and everything in between them. Humankind is one of the best Creations of Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى, as mentioned in the 4th Verse of Surah At-Teen.

Translation

That We created man of finest possibilities,

On another occasion, it is said in the Quran that humankind was created by Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى and sent to earth as His trustee. The Angels said that humankind will create disorder on Earth. Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى Commanded that I know, what you don’t know. This event is narrated in the 30th verse of Surah Al-Baqarah, in the context of the Creation of Hazrat Adam عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ.

Translation

Remember, when your Lord said to the angels: “I have to place a trustee on the earth,” they said: “Will You place one there who would create disorder and shed blood, while we intone Your litanies and sanctify Your name?” And God said: “I know what you do not know.”

Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى created mankind, so they would worship Him and follow His guidelines to live a righteous life in this world. Simultaneously, mankind is warned that on the Day of Resurrection and Final Judgement, he will be held accountability and his final fate will be decided on the basis of his conduct in this world. Those with more good deeds will go to Jannah (Paradise) and those with more evil deeds will be sent to Jahannam (Hell).

Despite all those warnings, Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى also repeatedly reminds us that He is the most Merciful, so humans can repent and seek His mercy at any time. The concept of Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى, being the most merciful, is described in many verses of the Quran, such as the 53rd verse of Surah Az-Zumar.

Translation

Say: “O creatures of God, those of you who have acted against your own interests should not be disheartened of the mercy of God. Surely God forgives all sins. He is all-forgiving and all-merciful.

The above verse and many other verses in the Quran promise that Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى is always willing to accept repentance from his servants, as He is the most forgiving, most merciful and most loving. He holds all Powers and Authorities; hence, He holds the ultimate Powers.

The crux of the subject is that despite all warnings about the severity of the Day of Final Judgement, Allah’s سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى mercy, love and authority will prevail for His servants not only in this world but surely on the Day of Resurrection.

There are several references in the Quran and Hadith, describing the Mercy, Love and Powers of Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى. Here are some of the quotes from the Quran and Hadith on this subject.

Allah’s سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى Mercy (Rahmah) in Quran and Hadith

Then his Lord sent commands to Adam and turned towards him: Indeed He is compassionate and kind.

64th Verse of Surah Al-Baqarah

ثُمَّ تَوَلَّيْتُمْ مِّنْۢ بَعْدِ ذٰلِكَ۝۰ۚ فَلَوْ لَا فَضْلُ اللہِ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَتُہٗ لَكُنْتُمْ مِّنَ الْخٰسِرِيْنَ

But you went back (on your word), and but for the mercy and grace of God you were lost.

105th verse of Surah Al-Baqarah

مَا يَوَدُّ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا مِنْ اَھْلِ الْكِتٰبِ وَلَا الْمُشْرِكِيْنَ اَنْ يُّنَزَّلَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِّنْ خَيْرٍ مِّنْ رَّبِّكُمْ۝۰ۭ وَاللہُ يَخْتَصُّ بِرَحْمَتِہٖ مَنْ يَّشَاۗءُ۝۰ۭ وَاللہُ ذُو الْفَضْلِ الْعَظِيْمِ

Those without faith among the people of the Book, and those who worship idols, do not wish that good should come to you from your Lord. But God chooses whom He likes for His grace; and the bounty of God is infinite.

157th verse of Surah Al-Baqarah

اُولٰۗىِٕكَ عَلَيْہِمْ صَلَوٰتٌ مِّنْ رَّبِّہِمْ وَرَحْمَۃٌ۝۰ۣ وَاُولٰۗىِٕكَ ھُمُ الْمُہْتَدُوْنَ

Surely those who believe, and those who leave their homes and fight in the way of God, may hope for His benevolence, for God is forgiving and kind.

286th Verse of Surah Al-Baqarah

لَا يُكَلِّفُ اللہُ نَفْسًا اِلَّا وُسْعَہَا۝۰ۭ لَہَا مَا كَسَبَتْ وَعَلَيْہَا مَااكْتَسَبَتْ۝۰ۭ رَبَّنَا لَا تُؤَاخِذْنَاۗ اِنْ نَّسِيْنَاۗ اَوْ اَخْطَاْنَا۝۰ۚ رَبَّنَا وَلَا تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْنَاۗ اِصْرًا كَـمَا حَمَلْتَہٗ عَلَي الَّذِيْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِنَا۝۰ۚ رَبَّنَا وَلَا تُحَمِّلْنَا مَا لَا طَاقَۃَ لَنَا بِہٖ۝۰ۚ وَاعْفُ عَنَّا۝۰۪ وَاغْفِرْ لَنَا۝۰۪ وَارْحَمْنَا۝۰۪ اَنْتَ مَوْلٰىنَا فَانْصُرْنَا عَلَي الْقَوْمِ الْكٰفِرِيْنَ

God does not burden a soul beyond capacity. Each will enjoy what (good) he earns, as indeed each will suffer from (the wrong) he does. Punish us not, O Lord, if we fail to remember or lapse into error. Burden us not, O Lord, with a burden as You did those before us. Impose not upon us a burden, O Lord, we cannot carry. Overlook our trespasses and forgive us, and have mercy upon us; You are our Lord and Master, help us against the clan of unbelievers.

107th Verse of Surah Al-e-Imran

وَاَمَّا الَّذِيْنَ ابْيَضَّتْ وُجُوْھُھُمْ فَفِيْ رَحْمَۃِ اؘ۝۰ۭ ھُمْ فِيْھَا خٰلِدُوْنَ

And those with bright faces shall be under God’s grace and enjoy it for ever.

If you are killed in the cause of God or you die, the forgiveness and mercy of God are better than all that you amass.

وَاِذَا جَاۗءَھُمْ اَمْرٌ مِّنَ الْاَمْنِ اَوِ الْخَوْفِ اَذَاعُوْا بِہٖ۝۰ۭ وَلَوْ رَدُّوْہُ اِلَى الرَّسُوْلِ وَاِلٰۗى اُولِي الْاَمْرِ مِنْھُمْ لَعَلِمَہُ الَّذِيْنَ يَسْتَنْۢبِطُوْنَہٗ مِنْھُمْ۝۰ۭ وَلَوْلَا فَضْلُ اللہِ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَتُہٗ لَاتَّبَعْتُمُ الشَّيْطٰنَ اِلَّا قَلِيْلًا

And when any tidings of peace or war come to them they spread the news around. Had they gone to the Prophet or those in authority among them, then those who check and scrutinize would have known it, And but for the favour of God and His mercy you would certainly have followed Satan, except a few.

96th Verse of Surah An-Nisa

دَرَجٰتٍ مِّنْہُ وَمَغْفِرَۃً وَرَحْمَۃً۝۰ۭ وَكَانَ اللہُ غَفُوْرًا رَّحِيْمًا

So those who believe in God and hold fast to Him shall indeed be received into His mercy and His grace, and be guided to Him the straight path

16th Verse of Surah Al-An’am

مَنْ يُّصْرَفْ عَنْہُ يَوْمَىِٕذٍ فَقَدْ رَحِمَہٗ۝۰ۭ وَ ذٰلِكَ الْفَوْزُ الْمُبِيْنُ

وَھٰذَا كِتٰبٌ اَنْزَلْنٰہُ مُبٰرَكٌ فَاتَّبِعُوْہُ وَاتَّقُوْا لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُوْنَ

(Then pointing to the inmates of Paradise, they will say): “Are they not those of whom you had sworn and said: ‘God will not have mercy on them?’ (And yet they have been told,) ‘Enter Paradise where you will have no fear or regret.'”

156th Verse of Surah Al-A’raf

وَاكْتُبْ لَنَا فِيْ ہٰذِہِ الدُّنْيَا حَسَـنَۃً وَّفِي الْاٰخِرَۃِ اِنَّا ہُدْنَاۗ اِلَيْكَ۝۰ۭ قَالَ عَذَابِيْۗ اُصِيْبُ بِہٖ مَنْ اَشَاۗءُ۝۰ۚ وَرَحْمَتِيْ وَسِعَتْ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ۝۰ۭ فَسَاَكْتُبُہَا لِلَّذِيْنَ يَتَّقُوْنَ وَيُؤْتُوْنَ الزَّكٰوۃَ وَالَّذِيْنَ ہُمْ بِاٰيٰتِنَا يُؤْمِنُوْنَ

Enjoin for us good in the world, and good in the world to come. We turn to You alone.” And the Lord said: “I punish only those whom I will, but My mercy enfolds everything. I shall enjoin it for those who take heed for themselves, who pay the zakat and believe in My signs

58th Verse of Surah Al-Kahf

وَرَبُّكَ الْغَفُوْرُ ذُو الرَّحْمَۃِ۝۰ۭ لَوْ يُؤَاخِذُہُمْ بِمَا كَسَبُوْا لَعَجَّلَ لَہُمُ الْعَذَابَ۝۰ۭ بَلْ لَّہُمْ مَّوْعِدٌ لَّنْ يَّجِدُوْا مِنْ دُوْنِہٖ مَوْىِٕلً

But your Lord is forgiving, full of benevolence. If He had pleased to punish them for their doings He would have punished them immediately. But a term is fixed for them from which they will find no escape

Hadith 6000 of Sahih Al-Bukhari

Allah divided Mercy into one hundred parts. He kept ninety nine parts with Him and sent down one part to the earth, and because of that, its one single part, His Creations are merciful to each other, so that even the mare lifts up its hoofs away from its baby animal, lest it should trample on it

If one part is so huge, imagine the magnitude of 99 parts, kept with Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى. So, the mercy of Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى is beyond our comprehension.

Hadith 7453 of Sahih Al-Bukhari

When Allah created the creations, He wrote with Him on His Throne: ‘My Mercy has preceded My Anger

For God loves those who seek pardon, and those who are clean

31st Verse of Surah Al-e-Imran

قُلْ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ تُحِبُّوْنَ اللہَ فَاتَّبِعُوْنِيْ يُحْبِبْكُمُ اللہُ وَيَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ذُنُوْبَكُمْ۝۰ۭ وَاللہُ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِيْمٌ

159th Verse of Surah Al-e-Imran

فَبِمَا رَحْمَۃٍ مِّنَ اللہِ لِنْتَ لَھُمْ۝۰ۚ وَلَوْ كُنْتَ فَظًّا غَلِيْظَ الْقَلْبِ لَانْفَضُّوْا مِنْ حَوْلِكَ۝۰۠ فَاعْفُ عَنْھُمْ وَاسْتَغْفِرْ لَھُمْ وَشَاوِرْھُمْ فِي الْاَمْرِ۝۰ۚ فَاِذَا عَزَمْتَ فَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَي اؘ۝۰ۭ اِنَّ اللہَ يُحِبُّ الْمُتَوَكِّلِيْنَ

It was through God’s mercy that you dealt with them gently; for had you been stern and hard of heart they would surely have broken away from you. So pardon them and pray that forgiveness be theirs, and seek their counsel in all affairs, And when you have come to a decision place your trust in God alone, for He loves those who place their trust in Him

134th verse of Surah Al-e-Imran

الَّذِيْنَ يُنْفِقُوْنَ فِي السَّرَّاۗءِ وَالضَّرَّاۗءِ وَالْكٰظِمِيْنَ الْغَيْظَ وَالْعَافِيْنَ عَنِ النَّاسِ۝۰ۭ وَاللہُ يُحِبُّ الْمُحْسِـنِيْنَ

Who expend both in joy and tribulation, who suppress their anger and pardon their fellowmen; and God loves those who are upright and do good,

O believers, any one of you who turns back on his faith (should remember) that God could verily bring (in your place) another people whom He would love as they would love Him, gentle with believers, unbending with infidels, who would strive in the way of God, unafraid of blame by any slanderer. Such is the favour of God which He bestows on whomsoever He will. God is infinite and all-knowing.

Hadith 4031 of Sunan Ibn Majah

The greatest reward comes with the greatest trial. When Allah loves a people He tests them. Whoever accepts that wins His pleasure but whoever is discontent with that earns His wrath

Means Allah’s سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى love and pleasure is for those who stand firm on faith in the time of tribulation, just accepting it as a test and trial from Him.

Hadith 2566 of Sahihh Muslim

Verily. Allah would say on the Day of Resurrection: Where are those who have mutual love for My Glory’s sake? Today I shall shelter them in My shadow when there is no other shadow but the shadow of Mine

It indicates that Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى loves those who love each other. Getting the shadow of Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى on the Day of Resurrection is the highest kindness and love for the people, who love each other.

Hadith 2675a of Sahih Muslim

I am near to the thought of My servant as he thinks about Me, and I am with him as he remembers Me. And if he remembers Me in his heart, I also remember him in My Heart, and if he remembers Me in assembly I remember him in assembly, better than his (remembrance), and if he draws near Me by the span of a palm, I draw near him by the cubit, and if he draws near Me by the cubit I draw near him by the space (covered by) two hands. And if he walks towards Me, I rush towards him

Hadith 3209 of Sahih Al-Bukhari

If Allah loves a person, He calls Gabriel saying, ‘Allah loves so and-so; O Gabriel! Love him.’ Gabriel would love him and make an announcement amongst the inhabitants of the Heaven. ‘Allah loves so-and-so, therefore you should love him also,’ and so all the inhabitants of the Heaven would love him, and then he is granted the pleasure of the people on the earth

Allah’s سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى Power (Qudrah) in Quran and Hadith

20th verse of Surah Al-Baqarah

يَكَادُ الْبَرْقُ يَخْطَفُ اَبْصَارَھُمْ۝۰ۭ كُلَّمَاۗ اَضَاۗءَ لَھُمْ مَّشَوْا فِيْہِ۝۰ۤۙوَاِذَاۗ اَظْلَمَ عَلَيْہِمْ قَامُوْا۝۰ۭ وَلَوْ شَاۗءَ اللہُ لَذَھَبَ بِسَمْعِہِمْ وَاَبْصَارِہِمْ۝۰ۭ اِنَّ اللہَ عَلٰي كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيْ

Verily the lightning could snatch away their eyes. When it flashes forth they walk in its flare. When darkness returns they stand still. And if the Lord wills so He could take away their hearing and sight; surely God is all-powerful

117th Verse of Surah Al-Baqarah

بَدِيْعُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ۝۰ۭ وَ اِذَا قَضٰۗى اَمْرًا فَاِنَّمَا يَقُوْلُ لَہٗ كُنْ فَيَكُوْنُ

Creator of the heavens and the earth from nothingness, He has only to say when He wills a thing: “Be”, and it is

That reflects the absolute power (Qudrah) of Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى.

49th verse of Surah As-Shura

لِلہِ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ۝۰ۭ يَخْلُقُ مَا يَشَاۗءُ۝۰ۭ يَہَبُ لِمَنْ يَّشَاۗءُ اِنَاثًا وَّيَہَبُ لِمَنْ يَّشَاۗءُ الذُّكُوْرَ

To God belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. He creates whatsoever He wills, bestows daughters on whosoever He will, and gives sons to whom He choose

Yet another proof of ultimate power (Qudrah) of Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى.

38th Verse of Surah Qaf

وَلَــقَدْ خَلَقْنَا السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَہُمَا فِيْ سِـتَّۃِ اَيَّامٍ۝۰ۤۖ وَّمَا مَسَّـنَا مِنْ لُّغُوْبٍ

We created the heavens and the earth and all that lies between them, in six spans, and no weariness came upon Us.

49th Verse of Surah Al-Qamar

اِنَّا كُلَّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقْنٰہُ بِقَدَرٍ

We have indeed created all things by measure

Verses 1 to 4 of Surah Al-Mulk

تَبٰرَكَ الَّذِيْ بِيَدِہِ الْمُلْكُ۝۰ۡوَہُوَعَلٰي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرُۨ

BLESSED BE HE who holds the (reins of) Kingship in His hand, who has power over everything

لَّذِيْ خَلَقَ الْمَوْتَ وَالْحَيٰوۃَ لِيَبْلُوَكُمْ اَيُّكُمْ اَحْسَنُ عَمَلًا۝۰ۭ وَہُوَالْعَزِيْزُ الْغَفُوْرُ

Who created death and life in order to try you to see who of you are best of deed. He is all-mighty and forgiving

الَّذِيْ خَلَقَ سَبْعَ سَمٰوٰتٍ طِبَاقًا۝۰ۭ مَا تَرٰى فِيْ خَلْقِ الرَّحْمٰنِ مِنْ تَفٰوُتٍ۝۰ۭ فَارْجِعِ الْبَصَرَ۝۰ۙ ہَلْ تَرٰى مِنْ فُطُوْرٍ

Who created the seven skies one above the other. Do you see any disproportion in the creations of Ar-Rahman? Turn your eyes again. Do you see any fissures?

ثُمَّ ارْجِعِ الْبَصَرَ كَرَّتَيْنِ يَنْقَلِبْ اِلَيْكَ الْبَصَرُ خَاسِـئًا وَّہُوَحَسِيْرٌ

Turn your eyes again and again. Your gaze turns back dazed and tired.

77th Verse of Surah An-Nahl

وَلِلہِ غَيْبُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ۝۰ۭ وَمَاۗ اَمْرُ السَّاعَۃِ اِلَّا كَلَمْحِ الْبَصَرِ اَوْ ہُوَاَقْرَبُ۝۰ۭ اِنَّ اللہَ عَلٰي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْ

To God belong the secrets of the heavens and the earth, and the Hour of Doom is a matter of the winking of an eye, even less, for God has certainly power over all things

Hadith 2516 of Jami At-Tirmidhi

Ibn ‘Abbas narrated: “I was behind the Prophet (s.a.w) one day when he said: ‘O boy! I will teach you a statement: Be mindful of Allah and He will protect you. Be mindful of Allah and you will find Him before you. When you ask, ask Allah, and when you seek aid, seek Allah’s aid. Know that if the entire creation were to gather together to do something to benefit you- you would never get any benefit except that Allah had written for you. And if they were to gather to do something to harm you- you would never be harmed except that Allah had written for you. The pens are lifted and the pages are dried.'”

This shows that ultimate and absolute power belongs only to Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى.

Hadith 2577a of Sahih Muslim – Relevant part of a lengthy Hadith

O My servants, you can neither do Me any harm nor can you do Me any good. O My servants, even if the first amongst you and the last amongst you and even the whole of human race of yours, and that of jinns even, become (equal in) God-conscious like the heart of a single person amongst you, nothing would add to My Power. O My servants, even if the first amongst you and the last amongst you and the whole human race of yours and that of the Jinns too in unison become the most wicked (all beating) like the heart of a single person, it would cause no loss to My Power. O My servants, even if the first amongst you and the last amongst you and the whole human race of yours and that of jinns also all stand in one plain ground and you ask Me and I confer upon every person what he asks for, it would not. in any way, cause any loss to Me (even less) than that which is caused to the ocean by dipping the needle in it.

May Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى shower His Blessings on all the believers!
