Retaliator:
On the day We launch the Great Assault, We will certainly
inflict Our retribution. (Surat ad-Dukhan, 44:16)
This aside, many verses speak of Allah’s infinite compassion
and the manifestations of His attributes of al-Rahman and al-Raheem.
The punishments waiting for unbelievers in the Hereafter are the re-
sult of their resolute unbelief. Allah reminds people of this fact and
informs them that He does not wrong them, as follows:
[Angels will say to unbelievers:] “That is for what you did.
Allah does not wrong His servants.” (Surat al-Anfal, 8:51)
Allah would not punish them while you were among them.
Allah would not punish them as long as they sought for-
giveness. (Surat al-Anfal, 8:33)
These are Allah’s Signs, which We recite to you with truth.
Allah desires no wrong for any being. (Surah Al ‘Imran,
3:108)
Our Lord, Who is Most Merciful, also relates that He intends to
lead all of His servants to the right path and to perfect His blessings
upon them, as follows:
Allah desires to make things clear to you, to guide you to
the correct practices of those before you, and to turn toward
you. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise. (Surat an-Nisa’, 4:26)
Allah does not want to make things difficult for you; rather,
... He wants to purify you and perfect His blessing upon
you so that hopefully you will be thankful. (Surat al-
Ma’ida, 5:6)
