Allah and His religion, Allah is so compassionate that He may pu-
rify those of His servants who sincerely repent. Furthermore, Allah
informs us that He may even purify and forgive unbelievers and
hypocrites who have fought Him and His religion if they ever turn
to Him with a sincere heart. One verse reads:
The hypocrites are in the lowest level of the Fire. You will
not find anyone to help them. Except those who repent, put
things right, hold fast to Allah, and dedicate their religion
to Allah alone; they are with the believers. Allah will give
the believers an immense reward. (Surat an-Nisa’, 4:145-46)
These words are manifestations of Allah’s infinite mercy to-
ward His servants. Clearly, only He can purify His servants from
idolatry, evil, and spiritual uncleanliness. Allah is the most compas-
sionate of the Compassionate.
