religious morality and told them how to lead a superior
moral life. All of these things are clear evidence of our Lord’s
endless mercy.
The unbelievers, idolaters, and hypocrites benefit from
the air, water, and all blessings that Allah has bestowed, in
His endless mercy, upon humanity: property and posses-
sions, a beautiful house and children, sustenance, health,
strength, and beauty. These are all manifestations of Allah’s

infinite mercy. He does so in order to draw all people toward
His religion and so that they will think reasonably and thank
Him. Those who, nevertheless, continue to reject Allah will
find that these blessings will only increase their misery. Those
who turn away from Allah will enjoy these blessings
throughout this short and temporary earthly life, while in the
Hereafter, all of these blessings will belong to the believers

who strove to draw near to Allah, earn His favor, and
thanked Him without pause. Allah is eternal Justice and has
announced the good news of Paradise, adorned with incom-
parable blessings, to the believers:
“Prescribe good for us in this world and the Hereafter. We
have truly turned to You.” He said: “As for My punish-
ment, I strike with it anyone I will. My mercy extends to
all things, but I will prescribe it for those who guard

against evil and give alms, and those who believe in Our
Signs. (Surat al-A’raf, 156)
… Gardens of Eden, which the All-Merciful has promised

to His servants in the Unseen. His promise is always kept.
(Surah Maryam, 61)
