The mercy of your Lord is better

But the mercy of your Lord is better than whatever they accumulate.

[Qur'aan 43: Portion of Verse 32]

 

 

There is nothing comparable to the Mercy of Allaah.

 

 

Do you need see that we will not enter Paradise because of our deeds until Allaah wraps you in His Mercy?

 

 

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) as saying:

There is none amongst you whose deeds alone would attain salvation for him. They (the Companions) said: Allah's Messenger, not even you? He (the Holy Prophet) said: Not even I, but that Allah wraps me in Mercy and He grants me pardon. Ibn 'Aun pointed towards his head with his hand saying: Not even I, but that Allah wraps me in His Forgiveness and Mercy.

[Sahih Muslim Hadith No. 2816]

 

 

The Salaf would say:

The Mercy of Allaah comes no faster than to the one who listens to the Qur'aan.
