Salam Alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatu you listening to living Islam on radio Lancer, I am your host smile calm coming to you live from the Durban studio, where we continue on our series of the Beautiful Names of Allah subhanho wa Taala. This topic which we began last month in July, we began to look at what are the meanings of the names of Allah and what is the practical implementation of these names of Allah in our lives. Now they are many of us who may have memorized the names of Allah, or we may have read them, or we may have learned about them and learning to make dua. But how many of us actually understand the implication of the names of Allah in our lives, what each name

means in our relationship with Allah and the rest of creation. This is really where the fruit of the names of Allah come that we understand it, and we actualize it in our lives. And we gave in the first episode of the series, we spoke about the names of Allah, for example, we spoke about named man that Allah has mercy over all of his creation. What does this mean? We talked about how Allah's mercy manifests itself in every part of our lives, from the fact that we are alive from the fact that he has given us this religion that he has guided us to Islam, from the fact that he continues to let us enjoy what we have, despite our sins, despite our weaknesses. We see Allah's mercy all

around us, when he removes difficulties from our lives, when he saves us from hardships, when he brings that ease after the hardship in all of this, we see the aroma and the mercy of Allah subhana wa Taala. Now the question arises, and it's a question I get asked quite often, that, and again, when people ask questions, we should take the question objectively, without judging the person. Right. And so the question which I get quite often is that Allah is most merciful. So why didn't do we go to test? Why didn't that allow difficult or bad things to happen to us? And this is a legitimate question, and it's something that a lot of people struggle with. So we need to give this

question its its do and answer it appropriately, in a way that people can understand. Because they are people who lost faith, because this question was not answered properly. Right. So again, to understand the question and the questioner,

we are all aware in shadow of the fact that Allah is most merciful. So the question is the Most Merciful? Why does he punish? Why does he test Why does he allow bad things to happen to us? And my first point when it comes to understanding the answer to this question, is that many of us have misunderstood the concept of mercy. We don't really understand what Mercy is right? Because if Allah did not punish people for their sins at all, ever individual or the afterlife, that is not mercy, that is weakness, that is injustice, and Allah is not capable of ingest Li not capable of weakness, Allah is is perfect, and yet all of the positive attributes, therefore, it is part of positive

attributes, that Allah does not treat the righteous and the unrighteous the same. It is part of his positive attributes, that his mercy manifests itself when it is appropriate. I mean, think about it right in terms of dunya what is the Most Merciful relationship that you can think of between two people?

Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam speaks about this relationship. In the hadith of Allah's mercy is the relationship between a mother and her child. Right, the prophets Allah while he was some stated that Allah is more merciful to his servants than a mother is to her child. So let us understand this, let's first understand a mother's mercy towards her child. A mother loves her child more than anything

She is the softest and most loving person for your child, she will die for the chance you will give everything for that child. But does she still not punish the child when he's naughty? Does she still not discipline that child when he gets out of control? Doesn't she still allow the child to cry in order for him to learn a lesson, rather than just pamper him all the time? when we when we meet a mother who does never, ever punishing her child, no matter how naughty he is, don't we think that she's boiling him? We don't think she'd be merciful. We think she's spoiling him. Why? Because when it comes to human relations, we don't look at this as mercy. We look at this, as you know, not good

parenting. Because we understand that mercy does not mean that you let a child get away with bad behavior. That's, that's not being merciful. Rather, the the right type of mercy is for parents, to teach their child to discipline their child, and to make sure that child grows up to be a good person.

So when you come to the parent child relationship, we are able to understand that a mother can be merciful to her child, and to punish the child and it does not affect the fact that she's the most merciful person to that child. We all understand this. So why can't we understand this when it comes to our Creator, that Allah is most merciful to us. But it is part of that mercy that he sends tests into our lives. Because those tests, they cause us to turn back to Allah, they cause us to do extra ibadah they grant us a lot of reward in the afterlife. Think about it, if you went through a difficult test in this world, and you made flubber with that test. And on the Day of Judgment, that

struggle alone gave you a high stage in general. Wouldn't you look back at that test as a mercy from Allah?

What if you were going astray and you were heading down the path of sin, and Allah sent into your life a difficulty he sent into your life, a hardship and that hardship woke you up? It shook you up in revived your fate, it made you a righteous person. Is that hardship? Not a mercy from your Creator.

We need to reframe our understanding of Mercy. Mercy of Allah comes in different ways. Just like the mercy of the parents comes in different ways that Allah is above all submitted to his creation. Allah's mercy is created in depth. Allah's mercy is grounded in the mercy of a mother to her child. So when Allah sins difficulties into our lives, they are there for a reason. Sometimes that difficulty is there, to mold us, to shape us to help us grow into better people. Because again, think about your own life, the things that defines you the things that helped you grow, the things that made you a better person, were the difficulties that we sent it to your life.

It though difficulties didn't come into your life, you will have remained stagnant, you would have not have grown, you would have not have mature you would have stayed the same person you were before.

So this is part of Allah's mercy, that difficulties happen to us

a different perspective. Let's look at it from perspective.

If we never in our lives, ever experienced hardship, ever experienced anything of life was just perfect and fine.

Would we be able to understand the concept like mercy?

Again, it's a bit of a deep question, but think about it. If nothing bad ever happened to us, we don't even know what bad looks like or feels like. How then would we define mercy? How do we define define goodness?

Mercy is understood through hardship.

Mercy is understood because of others harshness. When you meet someone who is harsh. You can appreciate somebody else who is merciful. When you meet somebody who is unjust, you can appreciate somebody else who is just when you meet somebody who is ill mannered, you can appreciate somebody else who is well mannered,

good things can only be understood and appreciated. If we have witnessed and seen its opposite.

Without the existence of difficulties, we wouldn't understand the concept of ease, they wouldn't be seen as a concept of ease because that will just be the norm of life.

Without the existence of injustice amongst people, we will not be able to understand and value justice.

These problems we face in life and in society. They help us to appreciate good things. And so in order for us to appreciate mercy to know what Mercy is to understand the concept of mercy. We have to at different points in our lives, witnesses opposite from the creation, when we need human beings who are rootless, who are Savage, who are difficult, who are tyrannic and then we turn

Are we looking at how Allah still takes care of us, we begin to appreciate Allah as mercy, we begin to understand Allah's mercy, that you are human beings, just like me, but they are so difficult and violent in the treatment of me. When we see that, then we look back and we say, Alhamdulillah, we look back and we see and we understand and we conceptualize the mercy of Allah. So the existence of difficulty helps us to understand what is mercy, it helps us to understand and appreciate mercy. We cannot appreciate good if you've not seen evil.

So again, the question which we are asked, Is, Allah is most merciful. So why do these bad things happen to us? And again, the a variety of reasons. Sometimes what we perceive to be bad is actually good for us, sir, and Takahashi en la hydroalcoholic. Hello, just in Accra, perhaps you dislike something but it's actually good for you. You don't want that bad thing to happen to you. But but it might end up being the best thing to ever happen to you. Think about it, right? How many times has this happened in people's life, someone lost their job. Seems like the worst thing ever. They lost their job.

But because they'd lost their job, and they were patient with it. And even better job opportunity opened up for them, or they start their own business. And that business made him a millionaire wasn't losing their job, the best thing to ever happen to them.

You see, sometimes we don't understand this if you don't understand the wisdom. And so we feel that something bad is happening, in reality allows Divine Wisdom that's paying off. So to answer the question about the mercy of Allah, sometimes what we think to be bad things in our life is actually Allah's mercy in our life. But we just don't understand that we see mercy works, we don't understand the Divine Wisdom, because it is beyond human understanding. And then,

beyond this,

the other reasons why things like this exist in this world. Number two, is because mercy in order for it to be perfect, it needs to be in its right place, that mercy when it occurs to the wrong person or the wrong place. It ends up not being mercy, but rather being a problem. It ends up being injustice, meaning if the sinner and the saints are treated equally, that's not mercy. That's injustice. Because what's the point then, of being righteous. The third reason why difficult things happen to us is because they turn us back to Allah or they become a means of reward for us. And the fourth is it helps us It helps us to understand the concept of mercy and to appreciate it because we

have experienced its opposite. So we need to take our first break now. When we return. We will come we will

continue discussing some of the Beautiful Names of Allah Don't go away. We'll be right back after this break.

Show me the way

at the end of the day.

Salam Alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh you listening to living Islam on Radioland, sir? I'm your host Ismail conda coming to you live from the Durban studio and that was the beautiful Nasheed 99 Names of Allah by Juma Leyland Yes, we are discussing the meanings of the names of Allah and how to actualize them in our life and the meaning the name that we have been discussing last week and this week thus far is about Allah's mercy. R Rahmani r Rahim. And we said after the name of Allah, the Most repeated names in the Quran r Rahmani r Rahim at the very beginning of the Quran. It begins with Bismillahi Rahmani Raheem, these three names are mentioned Bismillah, the name of Allah, the

man, and then a Rahim and then the Surah Fatiha begins Alhamdulillah he Rob bill al Ameen Rahmani Raheem, and throughout the Quran, you will find a lot of talking about his name, or you'll find him talking about his name of Rahim. And so we have spent a lot of time on these two names, because they are so important. Our man, the one whose Mercy is universal, His mercy applies to all of his creation, and our him, the one who shows a specific mercy to the believers, the one who has a special mercy in store for the believers. And so we learned in this past two episodes about Allah's mercy and one last concept to understand the from the from this concept of mercy, and that that is

the application of this to our daily lives. You see,

one of the lessons that we can take from the names of Allah is that all of these qualities of Allah are qualities that we should strive to have. Now of course, Allah is perfect in these qualities, we are not puzzled why we should strive to have these good qualities. Because these are the qualities are beloved to Allah. So Allah is most merciful. We need to strive to be merciful.

And sadly, this is where many of us have failed as an oma, we have become known for our harshness, for our roughness for our rudeness for fighting with each other, for getting angry with each other for wanting to punch each other for kicking each other out to the masjid for, you know, sectarianism, for tribalism, for racism. All of this is completely against the concept of mercy. There's like no mercy at all in these concepts. Where is the Rama in our lives? Where is that mercy in our lives?

Are we not aware of the Hadith says, in which Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam has wonders?

Manila Yama, Johan, whoever does not show mercy will not be shown mercy.

In one of the beautiful Hadith says, The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was sitting in public with the Sahaba

and one of his grandsons, he was either Hassan Hussein, may Allah be pleased with both of them. One of his grandsons, who was a small child at the time, maybe two or three years old, came running up to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam, who gave him a hug and a kiss in front of everyone. And one of the rough Bedouin Arabs are sitting there and he was shocked to see this to see a man hugging and kissing his grandchild. And so this man commented, and he said, I have 10 sons. I have never kissed any of them in my life. Now, this is that misplaced sense of masculinity and masculine masculinity that

I'm a real man, I don't kiss, you know, I don't hug. I don't feel emotion. But the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he is the ultimate role model. He is the ultimate role model of what it means to be a man. And he taught us the opposite. He taught us the opposite. And there's two narrations of what he said to this man to different generations. The first generation, he said to this man, what can I do if Allah has removed the Rama? mercy from your heart?

Like meaning hugging and kissing your child or grandchild? This is Ross Ma, this is mercy. This is the mercy we are meant to show. As believers in Allah as followers of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.

And the other narration, he tells this man, whoever does not show mercy will not be shown mercy. And again, there's two interpretations of this statement. And they are both correct. The first interpretation is whoever does not show mercy to Allah creation. Allah will not show them mercy. And the other interpretation more specific to that context is whoever does not show mercy to the children cannot expect those children to grow up and in turn, show them mercy.

Powerful to think about, think about it. If you when your kids were young, never hugged them, never kissed them, never told him I love you never took care of them. never spend time with him.

Why would you expect them to do all of this for you when you get old, you never taught him to behave like this. You never taught him to show emotion. You never taught him to express love. You never taught him to take care of others. You just taught them to scream and to fight and to shout. So that's what they're doing to you. Now. You see how this how this plays out? Right? how we treat people is how we will be treated as a DCC. If we are people of harshness, then that is what we get in return. If we are people of mercy, then that is what we get in return. And remember what I mentioned earlier, mercy doesn't mean that you let people do what they want and get away with what

they want. There's no mercy. You know, if I want to be frank, that's stupidity. If you just go that people do whatever they want, and walk all over you and mistreat you and oppress you, that's stupidity. That's, that's not Mercy. Mercy is being the better person. Mercy is knowing when is the right time to forgive. And when is the right time to discipline? Knowing when is the right time to let something go? And when is the right time to teach people right from wrong. Mercy is about overlooking when other people make mistakes. But at the same time, you show them the right way. So Mercy is not about being a punching bag. No, that's my mercy. No Mercy. Mercy is where you are in

power. And you have authority, and you have the ability to take revenge. But you don't, you don't. Because you have mercy. You see, when an oppressed person or a downtrodden person

forgives his oppressor, that's not considered mercy. Because he doesn't really have the ability to do anything else at that time.

But should he gained power over his oppressor, and now has the opportunity to take revenge. And he may even be justified to take revenge, even that opportunity he forgives. That's mercy. This is why people were so impressed when Nelson Mandela, you know, forgive people and, and brought about unity to this country 20 over 20 years ago, because he was now in a position of power. And he had the legal rights to to to set up a system of revenge, but he chose mercy instead.

And we look at this in the life of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam, when he conquered Makkah, after over 20 years of being oppressed by the people of Makkah, he had every right to take revenge, but he showed mercy.

Sisters, do we show mercy? Do we show mercy to our children? Do we show mercy to our employees? Do we show mercy to our spouses? Or are we people who only think about our own rights for only think about our own selves, and who are willing to oppress and you know, treat others badly. And even in a marriage, you know, in Allah subhanho datamine speaks about marriage in the Quran. He uses the same word mercy, or worship 100 a system amongst his signs is that he created for you spouses, to gain Sakina to gain peace from and he has placed between your love and mercy. Why love and mercy because in those days where you don't feel the love, you should still apply mercy. Love is not a constant

thing. You know, one minute you feel like pulling each other's hairs out the next minute you're back in love again that that's that's relationships between people. What Islam teaches us

Is that when you feel feel that love Alhamdulillah enjoy it. When you don't feel that love when you feel irritated when you feel angry. When you when you when you when you feel, you know like punishing your spouse, you show mercy. Right? You Don't be selfish you focus on the mercy. You focus on keeping things together and not overstepping the limits of Allah not becoming an oppressor because of your angle, you do not allow your anger to overcome your mercy. And by the way, this is one of the rules that Allah has written for himself. Allah subhanho wa Taala is not answerable to anyone, but he has still written rules for himself. It is mentioned the howdy so good see, that

Allah has written for himself a rule and that rule is that my anger will never supersede My Mercy.

Imagine if Allah anger superseded His mercy whenever we come into sin immediately the punishment would come. But not all, as Mercy's did his mercy show this up every day in our lives. So why don't we have that same attitude towards each other? You know, instead of allowing our anger to overcome us, let's live in mercy overcome us instead, when when you are in a position to hurt someone, and you're really angry with them. Don't let that anger drive you that taco. Don't be angry as the professor stated. Rather, let your mercy your othmar guide guide your footsteps guide your actions.

Another Hadith the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam stated that anything which mercy enters it, beautifies it and anything which harshness enters, it makes it ugly. Meaning if you become harsh and mean and tyrannical towards people, then you in the sight of people become ugly, not physically, but in every other way. You can be the handsomest guy in the world, the most drop dead, gorgeous woman in the world. But if you are harsh, and mean and a tyrant, everybody looks at you as ugly person. Nobody cares about how you look if you don't treat people well. Right? The true beauty is in your treatment of people.

That's that's what this Hadees means when you are merciful. When you are a person who treats people well, when you are a person who gives back to society. When you are a person who cares for others, then in that situation,

doesn't matter how you look. People love you. People love you. People talk about Jessie does a really beautiful person. Why? Because Because the soul is beautiful. The beauty of the soul lies in mercy in how we treat people.

Mercy shows itself in how we feel about others. What's your attitude towards poor people? Is it one of concern or one of arrogance? What's your attitude towards your kids do do do you show them love and mercy? Or do you look at him as a nuisance in a burden? He did. These are the relationships that define whether we are merciful or not. So we need to become people of mercy in order to gain Allah's mercy, because whoever does not show mercy will not be shown mercy. So we need to take our second break now. When we return we'll continue talking about the Beautiful Names of Allah Don't go away. We'll be right back after this break.

Salam Alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh you listening to living Islam on radio land sir I'm your host smile calm coming to you live from the Durban studio and we have a few minutes left for today's show. For those of you who just joined us we have been talking about Allah has named r Rahmani r Rahim, the Most Merciful to all of creation and the most merciful to the believers in specific and we've been talking about these two names for two weeks now for two episodes now because they're just so much in our religion about mercy souhan it is an entire chapter of our religion. It's really a concept that we are supposed to be teaching our children it's something that they supposed to be

learning from a very, very young age. It is a description which allow us to describe himself to describe his prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam to describe the Quran to describe the true believers to describe those who are engender, this concept of mercy flows through every single part of our religion. Where is it in our lives? Do we have mercy towards the poor? Do we have mercy towards our family to our towards our relatives? Do we have mercy towards those who wronged us? I mean, how many of us are holding graduates for 10 years for 20 years? Because if someone said or did something wrong 10 or 20 years ago, the mercy needs to come back because loss will be handled Allah's mercy

in the afterlife. And even especially most in this life is only for those who are merciful delivers

is a beautiful addition to attend easy and it's been graded Sahih authentic by Mr. Motta music himself and Abdullah even Mr. radi Allahu anhu

and then a BSL Allahu alayhi wa sallam call r Rahim una Yamaha. Rahman urashima, Yamaha Muhammad, those of you who are merciful, in our mind will have mercy on them. in Hama, manfield. Out here homcom Montezuma, so show mercy to whoever you find on Earth. The one who is above the heavens will show mercy upon you.

A powerful, powerful narration reading says I want you to think about this.

This Hadith narrated by the great scholar amongst the Sahaba Abdullah even among us, the son of the Sahaba among us, Abdullah he narrates this hadith where the prophets allow the some stated that those of you who have mercy that he uses the definite tool or role he moved, meaning that these people, by the very nature and the lifestyle, people are mercy. Allah says those are the people who are Montessori motto that those are the people who are the most merciful, will shower with his mercy. And then

the prophets lesson after making this definite statement, he follows it with a command. And that command is ir hameau manfield. ir hameau Be merciful, to manfield out to who ever is on Earth. Note that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam did not say be merciful to the believers only.

Didn't say be merciful to people from your sector, your group only didn't say be merciful to people from your race or your tribe only.

Oh, he said, no ha moment feel Arab. Be merciful to whoever is on the earth. When the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam showed mercy to the people of Makkah, these will not believe a deal with the enemies of Islam. But his mercy was the average at that situation. Because you must show mercy to whoever is on Earth. You must be the definition of mercy.

He says if you do this, you're hamaca man this summer, the one who is above the heavens above the arch. Allah subhanho wa Taala he will shower His mercy upon you.

What does it mean to be merciful. merciful means that when you are in a position of power, you overlook the honest mistakes and faults of people. No one's perfect. Your spouse, your children, your employees. They are human

You can't hold them to unrealistic expectations. A marriage only works when there's realistic expectations. If any spouse is expecting perfection from the other, it's going to fall apart. The parent child relationship only works if you treat your child as a human being. If you expect a child to be perfect to grow up and never come out to spend and never be naughty for a single day of his life, you are in for a world of disappointment.

As a parent, you have to lead with rahama you have to be there for your child when he makes a mistake, to show him how to make you safer to show him how to make Toba to show him how to get back on track, not to snap him and kick him out of the house and trim further into sin.

Let mercy guide your actions. Remember, we said that mercy does not mean that you be a pushover. Mercy does not mean that you let people take advantage of you know, Allah is most merciful, but he still punishes us. Allah is most merciful, but he still disciplines us. Allah is most merciful, but he still test us. So you to all parents in your relationship with your children, shower them with love, shower them with mercy, shower them with hugs and kisses, with advice, with guidance with showing them the right way. But when they are naughty discipline, you teach them right from wrong. Let them experience that if you do wrong things, then you know your privileges are taken away.

That's part of mercy, because it helps them become a better person. Don't think of it as the opposite to mercy that is part of mercy, that you are helping the child become a better person.

Mercy can be shown in our in our places of work, when your employee makes an honest mistake, that he co Yes, he did purposely sabotaging the business or the incompetent, or, you know the the ruining the business, yes, then you take action, but the guy is working hard every day coming to work doing the best he can. And one during the week he made a mistake, let it go. He's human, he's never going to do a perfect job. If you want people to do a perfect job to work for you hire angels. But you don't need to have humans working for you. You have to let go when there's a perfect when there's a simple, honest mistake. That's just part of dealing with human beings. Part of being merciful is

that when you are in a position to take revenge, you don't do it. Even if it's permissible for you to do it, you just don't do it. Because you want to be the better person you want Allah to forgive you just like you've forgiven this person.

So my brothers and sisters, we must be people of mercy.

We must be people of mercy. When people look at us, they must know what mercy means, from the interactions with us.

I want you to think about something.

If I had to ask your spouse,

whether they think you are a merciful person?

Will they say yes? Or will they burst out laughing at the very thought of it?

event to ask your children?

Is your Are your parents merciful? Will they say yes? Or will they laugh? And say no way?

And if I were to ask the people who work for you, is your employer, a merciful person? What will be their reaction?

Now again, I did not say be a pushover. I did not say let people be incompetent or let people come with major sins or let people ruin your business or let your children go astray or get spoiled. NO. MERCY is about balance. Mercy is about helping them become better people. If that means punishing or disciplining when it's needed. That's part of the mercy of Allah, since tests into our lives, because it did pull us back towards him as part of his mercy, Allah since difficulties into our lives, to be a means of cleansing of our sins. That is part of His mercy. Allah sends tests into our lives, to mold us and shape us and make us better people. That is part of His mercy. So we need to

be intelligent in our dealings with other people. Don't be a tyrant. But don't be a pushover either. Rather, operate in every area of your life with a balance between mercy and justice. You are just in terms of right and wrong in terms of making sure that nobody is getting away with evil.

But you are merciful, and you overlook the simple mistakes that people make. What should you overlook? Well think about what is allowable. What is Allah overlook when it comes to our lives Allah subhanho wa Taala as stated in the authentic hadith, the prophet of Islam stated that Allah has already overlooked or forgiven for my Ummah, the mistakes, the things they do forget fully and the things they are forced into doing. So Allah overlooks three things, our mistakes, the things we did forget fully and the things we are forced into doing.

Allah forgives these three things.

So have the same same relationship with people, people made a mistake. There you go. people forgot. Let it go. People, you know, were forced to do something wrong, then you go and help them get out of the situation. Right? But and people purposely are doing evil, and people are purposely sabotaging the business when people are purposely oppressing or being tyrannical bullying, can you step in, and you do the discipline? And you put things right, because that is justice. And mercy can only operate to justice. If there's no justice, it's not mercy, it becomes weakness.

So let us be the people of mercy.

But Allah subhanaw taala described the righteous believers in the Quran.

He describes him as a bad man. Those who worship are among the most merciful. He didn't think about the law. He said, The bugbear of mine, why emphasis on drama? Because drama is the dominant quality of the Creator and he's evolved and those who worship him properly,

will not describe why he said the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam to this earth. He described him What do you seem What? What are sanaka illa rajmata Leela mean? We only send you as a Rama as the mercy to Allah mean to the entire universe. So if our role model Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is a Rama is a mercy to this entire universe. And if we claim to be following in his footsteps,

why are we not a Rama to this universe?

Be a rough match to this world. We are rosmah to society. Be the one that works to solve the problem poverty problem. Be the one that works to solve the crime problem. Be the one that works to solve the immoralities be the solution. Don't be part of the problem. Be the mercy be the one that when you pass away people cry, because a mercy to this world has passed away someone who made a difference in this world and helped so much of people and and you live in so many problems in this world passed away. Be that kind of person. Because you are a follower of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, you are a follower of Ramadan, amin and you are a worshiper of Manu Rahim. So

where is the Rama in your life in my life?

So my brothers and sisters, we have a few seconds left on the clock. I want to end

by telling you and by reminding myself and yourself that Mercy is the defining characteristic of the true believer. Let us be merciful in our dealings with everybody else. And it's balanced that mercy with justice. Allah subhanho wa Taala help us all to be people a mercy may help us all to be from those who worship improperly and may help us all to understand His names and to leave Islam and to be for amongst the bottle ramen. I will see you all next week. Zappala, Heron, Walker Dhawan and hamdulillah amine was Salam alikoum Rama warahmatullahi wabarakatuh
