The fact that our survival is assured is one of the greatest signs of
Allah’s mercy. However, apart from our five senses, Allah has en-

beings. Allah relates His attribute of ar-Rauf in the verses below, as
follows:
On the Day that each self finds the good it did and the evil
it did present in front of it, it will wish that there were an
age between it and them. Allah advises you to beware of
Him. Allah is Ever-Gentle with His servants. (Surah Al
‘Imran, 3:30)
Do you not see that Allah has made everything on Earth
subservient to you, and the ships running upon the sea by
His command? He holds back the heaven, preventing it
from falling to the ground—except by His permission.
Allah is All-Compassionate to mankind, Most Merciful.
(Surat al-Hajj, 22:65)
He sends down Clear Signs to His servant to bring you out
of the darkness and into to the light. Allah is All-Gentle
with you, Most Merciful. (Surat al-Hadid, 57:9)
