The mercy

The mercy…The speech of Muqtada Al-Sayyid Muhammad Al-Sadr in his account in Twitter on 22/3/2021

In the name of Allah

The mercy

The mercy is characteristic from Allah's characteristics Glory to Him but it is said that it is His first characteristics and the clearest one (He has prescribed mercy upon His grace), He is Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful whose mercy encompasses everything. Generally, even He has severe punishment but His mercy preceded His wrath Glory to Him, the believer shouldn't feel safe from Allah deception Glory to Him then he goes deeply in disobediences hoping in mercy but he should hasten in repenting, maybe if he didn't, then he would get out from deserving of the Divine mercy and he will lost everything, all that is due to coming out of the mercy from the Creator to all creatures and it doesn't include the human only but it includes all creatures without exception. But the important thing in this essay is: the mercy come out of the creature to the Creator or say it come out of with its deeds between all creatures due to many reasons such as

The first reason: The mercy of creature to the creature descends the Divine mercy as narrated: (have mercy upon those who are on earth, those who are in the heaven will have mercy upon you), it is too difficult to be descended upon the one who doesn't have mercy upon the others

The second reason: The mercy of creatures is higher meanings of obedience and worship whereas the one who believes in Allah, His messengers and Books then he should perform this obedience and the most wicked will stay away from it, who will enter the biggest fire

The third reason: The creatures (as it narrated from some people of knowledge) are considered a manifestation from Allah's manifestations Glory to Him, the one who loves Allah then he will love all His manifestations and emanations, the mercy is the clearest confirmation of love and courtship as it isn't hidden

The fourth reason: The deeds of Allah's characteristic in His creation, as narrated: (My slave, obey Me then you will be like Me) the people of knowledge try hard to be confirmation to some possible Divine characteristics and mercy is the most important one, if you did, you applied this characteristic and spread it among all creatures of Allah

The fifth reason: Allah Glory to Him made the mercy a door for guidance and to draw the others to Him and to His religion and obedience, Allah said: (So what a great mercy it is from Allah that you -O dear prophet Muhammad - are lenient towards them; and if you had been rude and hard hearted (unsympathetic) they would have certainly been uneasy in your company; so forgive them and intercede for them and consult with them in the conduct of affairs; and when you decide upon something, rely upon Allah; indeed Allah loves those who trust Him) This speech is addressed to the messenger of Allah so how about us, we who want to guide the society?! This verse limited guiding the society with the mercy not with what contradicts it from rudeness and roughness. For these reasons and others, the person should have mercy in different ways and never give it up, the mercy has many ways or machineries, if the person clang to them, he will be merciful such as

One: Marked by high morals and nice speech

Two: Humbleness in front of others and consider himself less than all

Three: Sacrificing and defending on the oppressed and underprivileged people and the like and from them is striving to defend on the deemed weak people

Four: Giving alms to the poor and needy people

Five: Sympathizing with all people and it is better with the close especially his sons and wife whom the society considers them under his guardianship

Six: The justice in general, especially the justice of rulers and politicians and the like

I will satisfy by this for summarizing, but we should pay attention to a matter which can't be overlooked absolutely that the mercy is with the ability on the others as the poet said

What would harm you if you bestowed maybe

The youth bestowed and he is angry

It means: he is able on anger and revenge but he preferred the mercy and controlled his anger. The mercy which comes out of the believer or Muslim shouldn't be to the Muslim and believer only because the person either a brother to you in religion or an equivalent to you in creation, that is what our imam Ali and prince of believers learned and educated us (I sacrifice my soul to him). And the mercy comes out of the human shouldn't be to the human only, how beautiful its coming out of and its other confirmations that is to have mercy upon the animal that weak creature but even the wild animals, unfortunately we see the oppression against the animals, submitting them to the mankind, shoving them in quarrel among them, flaying and slaughtering them without eating them or using them in violent sport or look at their quarrel for entertainment and laughing or imprisoning them without use or never taking care of them till they die or loading them more than their capacity and others from what we see and hear, all these things are far from mercy and its doer should be punished by any way to prevent such trespassing which many animals became extinct because of them. The right and logical dealing with the solids can call it mercy, the solid even though doesn't feel but it can be type of mercy to it or mercy to the same person who deals with the solid

The human is demanded to have mercy upon himself and never oppress himself but through obedience, faith, never committing disobedience and exceeding the limits in it or burden it over its capacity, Allah said: (Allah doesn't burden anyone, except with something within it capacity; beneficial for it is the virtue it earned, and harmful for it is the evil it earned; our Lord! Do not seize us if we forgot or are mistaken; our Lord! And do not place on us a heavy burden(responsibility) as You did on those before us; our Lord! And do not impose on us a burden, for which we do not have the strength; and pardon us, and forgive us and have mercy on us, You are our Master, therefore help us against the disbelievers) We can say from one side that plunging the person into the life and its pleasure is oppressing to himself too, from another side, harming the soul by severe mjuahadat, spiritual and deep sports, long isolation and the like may be a type from oppressing and harming the soul in addition to be harming the others from those who belong to him and resort to him.The arrogance, extravagance, violence, disobedience, committing abominations and denying the existence of Allah and others from matters are matters which contradict the mercy to the soul firstly and to the others secondly, committing such matters harm the society and have negative material and moral effects, didn't you hear that the sins descend the trial, pandemic, earthquakes, volcanoes and bring unjust rulers, occupation and normalization then the oppression and hypocrisy increase and the fornications spread, so pay attention please, forewarned is forearmed

The slave of Allah
