Allah’s Mercy manifests itself in the Quran in several forms: as Self-Restraint Mercy, when by His Decree, He Most Graciously overlooks man’s transgressions, as in the authentic Hadith (saying of Prophet Muhammad, Messenger of Allah, Peace and Blessings on him (Pboh)) narrated by Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him): “When Allah decreed the creation, He wrote over His throne: My Mercy precedes My Anger” Al-Bukhari (7453).
