  1. My mercy encompasses all things

    Mercy

    قَالَ عَذَابِيٓ أُصِيبُ بِهِۦ مَنۡ أَشَآءُۚ وَرَحۡمَتِي وَسِعَتۡ كُلَّ شَيۡءࣲۚ فَسَأَكۡتُبُهَا لِلَّذِينَ يَتَّقُونَ وَيُؤۡتُونَ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ

    He answered, "I will inflict My punishment on whom I will. But My mercy encompasses everything. I will ordain mercy for those who shun ˹idolatry˺, pay alms-tax, and believe in Our revelations."

  2. We send down the Quran as a healing and mercy

    Mercy

    وَنُنَزِّلُ مِنَ ٱلۡقُرۡءَانِ مَا هُوَ شِفَآءࣱ وَرَحۡمَةࣱ لِّلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ وَلَا يَزِيدُ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ إِلَّا خَسَارًا

    We send down the Quran as a healing and mercy for the believers, but it only increases the wrongdoers in loss
