Emphasis on God's Mercy
The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love.
[Az-Zumar - 53]
﴿ ۞ قُلۡ يَٰعِبَادِيَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَسۡرَفُواْ عَلَىٰٓ أَنفُسِهِمۡ لَا تَقۡنَطُواْ مِن رَّحۡمَةِ ٱللَّهِۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَغۡفِرُ ٱلذُّنُوبَ جَمِيعًاۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلۡغَفُورُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ﴾ [الزمر - ٥٣]
Say: "O 'Ibadi (My slaves) who have transgressed against themselves (by committing evil deeds and sins)! Despair not of the Mercy of Allah, verily Allah forgives all sins. Truly, He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
The description of God's mercy and compassion aligns with Islamic emphasis on these attributes, indicating a shared understanding of God's nature and reinforcing common spiritual principles between the two faiths.
