Some Qualities of Allah

 

The Merciful, the Compassionate.

Your Lord has made mercy incumbent upon Himself.

He has bound Himself to the exercise of mercy.

As for My mercy, it encompasses everything.

Our Lord! You encompass everything with Your Mercy and Knowledge.

Say: Your Lord is of unbounded mercy.

He created the heavens and the earth with Truth. Exalted is He above whatever they associate with Allah in His Divinity. He created man out of a mere drop of fluid, and lo! he turned into an open wrangler. He created the cattle. They are a source of clothing and food and also a variety of other benefits for you. And you find beauty in them as you drive them to pasture in the morning and as you drive them back home in the evening; and they carry your loads to many a place which you would be unable to reach without much hardship. Surely your Lord is Intensely Loving, Most Merciful. And He created horses and mules and asses for you to ride , and also for your adornment. And He creates many things (for you) that you do not even know about.

Your God is only one God: there is no God except the All-Beneficent and All-Merciful Allah.

Do you not see that Allah sends down water from the sky whereby the earth turns green? Verily Allah is Subtle, All-Aware. To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. Surely Allah - He alone is Self- Sufficient, Praiseworthy. Have you not seen how Allah has subjected to you all that is in the earth, and the vessels that sail in the sea by His command, and it is He Who holds back the sky that it may not fall on earth except by His leave? Surely Allah is Most Gentle, Ever Compassionate to people.

Surely your Lord is Most Compassionate, Most Merciful.

Your Lord is Self-Sufficient, full of compassion. If He wills, He can put you away and cause whomever He wills to succeed you just as He has produced you from the seed of another people.

And say, (O Muhammad): "My Lord, forgive us and have mercy on us, for You are the Best of those that are merciful."

Allah is Forgiving and Forbearing.

Surely Allah is All-Forgiving, All-Compassionate.

Surely your Lord is Most Compassionate, Most Merciful.

Verily your Lord is forgiving to mankind despite all their wrong-doing. Verily your Lord is also severe in retribution.

Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.

Your Lord is All-Forgiving, full of mercy. Had He wished to take them to task for their doings, He would have hastened in sending His scourge upon them. But He has set for them a time-limit which they cannot evade.

Surely your Lord is abounding in His Forgiveness. Very well is He aware of you since He produced you from the earth, and while you were still in your mothers' wombs and not yet born.

Indeed Allah curses, and the cursers, too, curse those who conceal the clear teachings and guidance We have sent down, after We have made these plain in the Book for the guidance of all mankind. I, however, will forgive those of them who repent of it, mend their ways and make manifest what they were concealing: for I am very generous in accepting repentance and showing mercy.

O Muhammad, say to them, "This has been sent down by Him, Who knows the secret of the heavens and the earth." The fact is that He is very Forgiving and Merciful.

Verily Allah is All-Pardoning, All-Forgiving.

He it is Who accepts repentance from His servants and forgives sins and knows all what you do, and answers the prayers of those who believe and do good deeds and bestows upon them even more out of His Bounty. As for those who deny (the Truth), a grievous chastisement awaits them.

But to those who commit evil out of ignorance and then repent and amend their ways, thereafter your Lord will be Much Forgiving, Most Merciful.

As for those who do evil, and later repent and have faith, such will find their Lord All-Forgiving, All-Compassionate after (they repent and believe).

For He is Oft-Returning (with compassion) and very Merciful.

But he who repents after he has committed wrong, and makes amends, Allah will graciously turn to him. Truly Allah is All-Forgiving, All-Compassionate. Do you not know that to Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth? He chastises whom He wills and forgives whom He wills. Allah is All-Powerful.

Tell them, (O Prophet): “My servants who have committed excesses against themselves, do not despair of Allah's Mercy. Surely Allah forgives all sins. He is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful".

None despairs of the Mercy of his Lord except the misguided.

If Allah were to punish people for their wrong-doing, He would not have spared even a single living creature on the face of the earth. But He grants them respite until an appointed term. And when that term arrives, they have no power to delay it by a single moment, nor to hasten it.

Your Lord has made mercy incumbent upon Himself so that if anyone of you does a bad deed out of ignorance and thereafter repents and makes amends, surely you will find Him All-Forgiving, All-Compassionate.'

And He is the Ever Forgiving, the Most Loving – the Lord of the Glorious Throne, the Executor of what He wills.

Seek the forgiveness of your Lord and turn to Him in repentance. Surely my Lord is Ever Merciful, Most Loving.

And Allah is All- Hearer, All-Knower.

Allah is well aware and fully observes everything pertaining to His servants.

Allah watches over everything.

Verily He is All-Hearing, All-Seeing.

He is the Originator of the heavens and the earth. How can He have a son when He has had no mate? And He has created everything and He has full knowledge of all things. Such is Allah, your Lord. There is no god but He - the Creator of all things. Serve Him alone - for it is He Who is the guardian of everything. No visual perception can encompass Him, even though He encompasses all visual perception. He is the All-Subtle, the All-Aware.

Fear Allah and know it well that whatever you do is in the sight of Allah.

Surely He is Well-Aware and All-Seeing concerning matters that relate to His servants.

Allah is All-Hearing, All-Seeing.

He is All-Hearing, Ever Near.

Indeed My Lord is near, responsive to prayers.

So remember Me and I will remember you, and give thanks to Me and do not be ungrateful.

And if My servants ask you, O Prophet, concerning Me, tell them that I am quite near to them. I hear and answer the prayer of the suppliant, when he calls to Me. So let them respond to My call and believe in Me. Convey this to them, O Prophet; perhaps they may be guided aright.

Surely my Lord hears all prayers.

And Allah is All- Mighty, All-Wise.

Indeed Allah is All-Bounteous, All-Wise.

Nothing in the earth and in the heavens is hidden from Allah. It is He Who fashions you in the wombs as He wills. There is no God but He; the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.

And Allah is the Lord of great bounty.

Indeed Your Lord is exceedingly bountiful to mankind. Yet most of them do not give thanks.

And Allah is bountiful to the world.

Most surely Allah has power over everything.

Say: 'O Allah, Lord of all dominion! You give dominion to whom You will, and take away dominion from whom You will, and You give honor to whom You want, and humiliate whom You want. In Your Hand is all good. Surely You are All-Powerful. You cause the night to pass into the day and the day to pass into the night. You bring forth the living out of the dead, and You bring the dead out of the living, and You give sustenance to whom You will beyond all reckoning.

Allah is Self-Sufficient and Forbearing.

Understand it well that Allah does not stand in need of anything whatsoever and has all the praise-worthy attributes.

As for those who refuse to follow His command, surely Allah does not stand in need of anything of the worlds.

If you and everyone on the earth turn to disbelief, know that God is Self-sufficient and Innately Praiseworthy.

If you disbelieve, then bear in mind that all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth belongs to Allah. Allah is Self-Sufficient, Most Praiseworthy.

Whoever is grateful is so to his own good; and whoever is ungrateful, let him know that my Lord is in no need for him, Most Bountiful.

Whoever does good, does so to his own benefit; and whoever does evil, will suffer its evil consequence. Your Lord does no wrong to His servants.

If you disbelieve, know well that Allah has no need of you. Yet He does not like unbelief in His servants. But if you are thankful, your thankfulness will please Him. No one shall bear another's burden. You are destined to return to your Lord and He will tell you what you used to do. He is well aware even of what lies hidden in your breasts.

Allah is the Best Protector and is the Most Merciful.

Surely my Lord keeps a watch over everything.

Allah is the Creator of everything; He is the Guardian over everything.

Indeed, Allah is the Best of all those who provide.

Nothing in the universe is like Him. He is All-Hearing, All-Seeing. His are the keys of the heavens and the earth. He enlarges and straitens the sustenance of whomsoever He wills. Surely He has knowledge of everything.

How many animals are there who don't carry their sustenance, Allah provides sustenance to them and to you. He is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

Say, (O Prophet): “Verily, my Lord grants provision abundantly to whomsoever He pleases and straitens it for whomsoever He pleases. Whatever you spend, He replaces it. He is the Best of all Providers."

He said: “My Lord, forgive me and bestow upon me a kingdom such as none other after me will deserve. Surely You are the Bounteous Giver.”

O men! Now that the Messenger has come to you bearing the Truth from your Lord, believe in him; it will be good for you. If you reject, know well that to Allah belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

He watches over the deeds of every person.

Allah has created you, and then He causes you to die. And some of you have your lives prolonged to an abject old age, when one loses all knowledge after having acquired it. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Powerful.

Fear Allah and know that He is fully aware of everything.

Say: “Our Lord will bring us together and then He will rightly judge between us. He is the Great Judge, the All-Knowing."

Surely your Lord is All-Wise, All-Knowing.

Most certainly Allah is All-Knowing, Most Forbearing.

Allah is All-Embracing, All-Knowing.

Certainly my Lord is Subtle in the fulfillment of His will; He is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

Surely Allah watches over everything.

Do these people not know that Allah knows fully well even their secrets and their conspiracies and that Allah knows fully well all that is hidden.

Allah knows what every female bears; and what the wombs fall short of (in gestation), and what they may add. With Him everything is in a fixed measure. He knows both what is hidden and what is manifest. He is the Supreme One, the Most High. It is all the same for Him whether any of you says a thing secretly, or says it loudly, and whether one hides oneself in the darkness of night, or struts about in broad daylight.

He knows the unseen (all that lies beyond the reach of human perception) as well as all that is visible to man; He is the All-Wise, the All-Aware.

To Him belongs all that is before us and all that is behind us and all that is between those two, and your Lord is never forgetful.

My Lord does not err, nor does He forget.

There is no god but Allah. He will certainly gather you all together on the Day of Resurrection - the Day regarding which there can be no doubt. Whose word can be truer than Allah's?

All that is in the heavens and the earth extols the glory of Allah. He is the Most Mighty, the Most Wise. His is the dominion of the heavens and the earth. He gives life and causes death, and He has power over everything. He is the First and the Last, and the Manifest and the Hidden, and He has knowledge of everything. He it is Who created the heavens and the earth in six days and then established Himself on the Throne. He knows all that enters the earth and all that comes forth from it, and all that comes down from the heaven and all that goes up to it. He is with you wherever you are. Allah sees all that you do.

O Muhammad trust in that Allah Who is Ever-Living and will never die' Glorify Him with His praise, for He alone is sufficient to be aware of the sins of His servants. In six days He created the earth and the heavens and all that is between them; then He established Himself on the "Throne" (of the Kingdom of the universe). (He is) the Merciful: as to His Glory, ask the one who knows.

Allah, the Ever-Living, the Self-Subsisting, Who sustains the entire order of the universe - there is no God but He.

Call people to your Lord and never become one of those who associate partners with Allah, and do not invoke any god beside Allah. There is no god but He. All will perish but He. To Him belongs the command. And to Him will all of you return.

All that is on earth will perish, only the Person of your Lord, full of majesty and splendor, will abide for ever.

Allah is Most High, All-Great.

He knows both what is hidden and what is manifest. He is the Supreme One, the Most High.

Indeed Allah does not go back upon His promise.

And who is more true in fulfilling his promise than Allah?

Truly Your Lord is All-Strong, All-Mighty.

Nothing in the heavens nor on earth can frustrate Him in the least. He is All-Knowing, All-Powerful.

Surely my Lord encompasses all what you do.

Is it better that there be diverse lords, or just Allah, the One, the Irresistible?

Allah is sufficient to take account (of your deed).

Surely Allah takes good count of everything.

Let him who refuses to follow the ordinances and directives of Allah know that Allah is swift in His reckoning.

And He alone holds sway over His servants and sets guardians over you till death approaches any of you and Our deputed angels take his soul, neglecting no part of their task. Then all are restored to Allah, their true Lord. Behold, His is the judgment. He is the swiftest of those who take account.

And recall how those who disbelieved schemed against you to take you captive, or kill you, or drive you away. They schemed and Allah did also scheme. Allah is the best of those who scheme.

The Day when We shall seize them with a mighty seizing, that will be the Day on which We shall inflict upon you full retribution.

So, do not think, (O Prophet), that Allah will go back upon His promise to His Messengers. Surely Allah is Mighty, Lord of retribution.

His seizing is painful, terrible.

Surely your Lord is the Lord of forgiveness and the Lord of grievous chastisement.

Also call to mind when your Lord proclaimed: "If you give thanks, I will certainly grant you more; but if you are ungrateful for My favors, My chastisement is terrible.

Stern indeed is your Lord's punishment. He it is Who creates for the first time and He it is Who will create again, and He is the Ever Forgiving, the Most Loving – the Lord of the Glorious Throne, the Executor of what He wills.

For He it is Who has appointed you inheritors over the earth, and has exalted some of you over others in rank that He may test you in what He has bestowed is upon you. Indeed your Lord is swift in retribution, and He is certainly All Forgiving, All-Compassionate.

A severe chastisement lies in store for those who deny the signs of Allah. Allah is All-Mighty; He is the Lord of Retribution.

And whoever sets himself against Allah should know that Allah is surely Most Stern in retribution.

Indeed Allah is strongest in power and most terrible in chastisement.

(O Prophet), declare to My servants that I am indeed Ever Forgiving, Most Merciful. At the same time, My chastisement is highly painful.

There is no compulsion and coercion in regard to religion. The right thing has been made distinct from the wrong thing: now whoever rejects taught and believes in Allah has taken a firm support that never gives way.

Whoever surrenders himself to Allah and lives righteously grasps the most firm handle. The ultimate decision of all matters rests with Allah.

But he who puts his trust in Allah will find Allah All-Mighty, All-Wise.

And put your trust in Allah. Allah suffices as the Guardian to entrust one's affairs to.

They will say: “All praise be to Allah Who has taken away all sorrow from us. Surely our Lord is Most Forgiving, Most Appreciative.

Lo, they are in doubt concerning their meeting with their Lord. Surely He fully encompasses everything.

Nothing in the universe is like Him. He is All-Hearing, All-Seeing.

Allah - there is no god but He. His are the most excellent names.

Say to them (O Prophet!): "Call upon Him as Allah or call upon Him as Al-Rahman; call Him by whichever name you will, all His names are beautiful.

Allah has the most excellent names. So call on Him by His names and shun those who distort them. They shall soon be requited for their deeds.

Allah: the Everlasting, the Sustainer of the whole Universe; there is no god but He. He does neither slumber nor sleep. Whatsoever is in the heavens and in the earth is His. Who is there that can intercede with Him except by His own permission? He knows what is before the people and also what is hidden from them. And they cannot comprehend anything of His knowledge except whatever He Himself pleases to reveal. His Kingdom spreads over the heavens and the earth and the guarding of these does not weary Him. He alone is the Supreme and the Exalted.

He is Allah: there is no god but He; the Knower of the unseen and the manifest, He is the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate. He is Allah: there is no god but He: the King, the Holy, the All-Peace, the Giver of security, the Overseer, the Most Mighty, the Overpowering, the All-Great. Exalted be He from whatever they associate with Him. He is Allah, the Planner, Executer and Fashioner of creation. His are the names most beautiful. Whatever is in the heavens and the earth extols His Glory. He is the Most Mighty, the Most Wise.

Say: “He is Allah, the One and Unique; Allah, Who is in need of none and of Whom all are in need; He neither begot any nor was He begotten, and none is comparable to Him."
