Islam: A Religion of Mercy

The very foundation of Islam is built upon the concept of mercy. Every chapter of the Quran (except one) begins with the invocation of God, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was sent as a mercy to all the worlds. This mercy extends not just to fellow humans, but to animals, the environment, and oneself. By practicing kindness, charity, and understanding, Muslims strive to embody this beautiful attribute of the Divine in their daily lives.
