Allah’s Infinite Mercy

You Don’t Choose Islam—Allah Chooses You: Divine Guidance Explained

Islamic teachings from the Quran and prophetic traditions reveal a profound truth that humbles every believer: you didn’t choose Islam through your own intelligence or virtue—Allah chose you for this faith. This doesn’t negate human responsibility, but it places guidance in its proper context as a divine gift. Understanding this reality transforms how Muslims view their faith, approach others, and recognize the immense blessing of being guided to truth.

Miswak Benefits You Wouldn’t Believe – 70x Salah Reward

by
mercy

The Prophet ﷺ said if it wouldn’t be too difficult for his Ummah, he would have commanded miswak before EVERY prayer. Aishah رضي الله عنها and scholars state: one salah with miswak = 70 times the reward of salah without it. Think about that. You pray Fajr without miswak? You get 1x reward. Your neighbor prays Fajr with miswak? He gets 70x reward. Same prayer. Same time. Different tool. Some scholars say the multiplication reaches 99 times. Others say 400 times. All from a $2 stick the Prophet ﷺ used multiple times daily. And you? You’re using a plastic toothbrush and wondering why your prayers feel empty.

When Allah Saved You From Something You Desperately Wanted (And You Didn’t Even Know It)

You cried. You begged. You made dua after dua asking Allah ﷻ for something you were certain you needed. And He said no. Years later, when you see what that thing would have cost you, you’ll fall in sajdah thanking Him for protecting you from what you thought you wanted.

Allah ﷻ Loves Those Who Repent – More Than You Can Imagine

Imagine: You’re in a desert. Alone. Your camel—carrying ALL your food, water, everything you need to survive—runs away. You search everywhere. Nothing. You give up. You lie down under a tree waiting to die. Then you open your eyes and see your camel standing right there. The joy that floods your heart in that moment? Allah ﷻ is HAPPIER than that when you repent. Not slightly happier. MORE happy. That’s what the Prophet ﷺ said. You think Allah ﷻ is waiting to punish you? He’s waiting to CELEBRATE your return.

Call Upon Me, I Will Respond – Allah’s Promise That Never Fails

mercy

Prophet Yunus عليه السلام was in the belly of a whale. In complete darkness. Three layers of darkness – night, ocean depths, and the whale’s belly. He had no way out. So he made one du’a: “La ilaha illa Anta, Subhanaka, inni kuntu minaz-zalimin” – There is no god but You, Glory be to You, I was indeed wrong. Allah ﷻ saved him instantly. The Prophet ﷺ said: “No Muslim makes this du’a for anything ever, except Allah ﷻ responds to him.” Ever. No exceptions. You’re in darkness too. Different kind. But Allah’s promise still stands. Call Him. He WILL respond.

He kept them for Judgment Day. For believers who will need them most. Your sins feel huge? His mercy is bigger. Your mistakes feel unforgivable? He literally calls Himself “The Most Forgiving” 91 times in the Quran. Stop drowning in despair. Start swimming in His mercy.
