Quotes About God’s Kindness and Mercy

“From the perfection of Allah’s ihsan is that He allows His slave to taste the bitterness of the break before the sweetness of the mend. So He does not break his believing slave, except to mend him. And He does not withhold from him, except to give him. And He does not test him (with hardship), except to cure him.

Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah

“Allah is so merciful to us that even though this life is a test, He has allowed us to enjoy what is permissible of it to ease our journey back to Him.

Shaykh Omar Suleiman

“When it comes to doing good, some of us are hesitant. ‘I am such a sinner!’ We may think, ‘Will Allah really appreciate the pathetic deeds that I do when I commit such horribly bad deeds?’ Allah (swt) says, “Surely our Lord is indeed Ever-Forgiving, Appreciative”(Qur’an, 35:34), and “He is most forgiving, most appreciative.” (Qur’an, 35:30). This gives us the reassurance that even if we commit sinful deeds, we can return to Allah and He will, insha’Allah (God willing) forgive us, while rewarding us for the good.

Jinan Bastaki

“Sometimes we lose hope in turning to God and asking for His help because we feel like we have done too much wrong. And yet think of a child who has just angered his mother and immediately after trips and falls on the stairs. Even if that child had just angered his mother to tears, the moment he falls and cries for help, she runs to him. This is human mercy. And God is infinitely more merciful than a mother is to her child. So, do you think—no matter what you’ve done—when you’re falling and cry out to the *most* merciful…He wouldn’t come save you?

Yasmin Mogahed

“So we may live in this world, and have all the goods and possessions of deception that anyone could dream of, but have completely failed at the object of our existence. And if the object of our existence is, as Allah tells us, only to serve Him (51:56), then it would follow that only that which brought us closer to that end, would be a blessing, while that which took us away from that end would be the greatest calamity – no matter what those things were. And so it may be that the loss of everything dear to us is in fact the greatest blessing from Allah. If that loss brings us closer to the very purpose of our creation, what greater blessing could there be?

Yasmin Mogahed

“My God how gentle you are with me in spite of my great ignorance and how merciful You are with me in spite of my ugly deeds.

Ibn 'Ata Allah al-Iskandari

“Be watchful—the grace of God appears suddenly. It comes without warning to an open heart.

Rumi

“My dear son, entertain hopes of mercy from Allah, but let not your hopes make you bold in committing sins.

Luqman al-Hakim (Luqman The Wise)

“I have never seen anyone as unjust and oppressive to myself as myself, and I've never found anyone more forbearing, tolerant, and merciful to me than Allah. There is no god but Allah, Exalted are You, I've been of the wrongdoers.

Muhammad Ibn Faqih

“I love you O Lord, for when people's hearts are hard towards me I find you opening your arms so that I may return to you and I hear you promising me with a Paradise that's beyond my dreams and imagination.

Salman al-Ouda

“Some of the Salaf (righteous predecessors) said: The bounties of Allah have come to us in numbers we can't count, even though we disobey [Allah] often, and we don't know which one to thank Allah for: the beautiful things He sends, or the ugly things [that we do] that He hides.

“All blessings come in a package. With every blessing comes a test.

Yasmin Mogahed

“What if Your blessings come through raindrops, what if Your healing comes through tears, what if 1000 sleepless nights are what it takes to know You are near?

Yasmin Mogahed

“When I pretend to be strong, no one sees my hidden tears except Allah. When I’m sad and need a shoulder to cry on, no one supports me but Allah. Pleasing a human is very difficult, pleasing Allah is the easiest. People sometimes punish me for mistakes I have not done, Allah ignores and excuses the ones that I did. This is Allah, The Greatest, The Most Almighty, The Most Beneficent, The Most Merciful, and all praise belongs to Him.

Tariq Ramadan

“Even my falling on my face in the mud was from His mercy...lest I forget where I came from, and to where I am going.

Yasmin Mogahed

“And if He bars against you all ways and passages, He will show you a secret way, which no man knows.

Rumi

“Allah is al-Kareem, so if He withholds from you it is not on account of stinginess. It is on account of His generosity. He withholds to give.

Yasmin Mogahed
