With the name of Allah: the Beneficent, the Merciful.
Assalamu 'alalikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh,
Allah has created Mankind. How well was the Human when Allah created it!
Human being is made special and given responsibilities. But we have neglected what is important for us.
Allah, who has created us, does not want to throw us into the fire. However, if we don't take care of ourself and our duties, what is good in us anyway?
Raising a little child is very difficult but mothers do it.. Allah made our mothers as Mercy. How about the layers of the atmosphere that protect us from harmful radiations. How about the animals that are made obedient for us. How about the Earth that provides us food to eat. How about our bodies that fight with the diseases without us knowing it. But we have corrupted ourselves, this planet and whatever we could corrupt.
From the Qur'an: "Have they not seen how We lead the water to the barren land and therewith bring forth crops whereof their cattle eat, and they themselves? Will they not then see?"
We become spiritually dead because of our own bad deeds. But after we ask forgiveness from Allah, Allah gives us life (spiritual) and satisfaction (sakinah) out of his Mercy. Who else can forgive the sins anyway?
Just like the barren land becomes cultivated after Allah provides water to it, human being feels "alive" after getting His Mercy and Forgiveness.
Realise the speciality of yourself that Allah has given you. Be good to yourself and others. Allah is the most Beneficent, the most Merciful and the most Forgiver.
The Qur'an [Al-Mu'min (40):2-3]

- The revelation of this Book (Qur'an) is from Allah, the Almighty, the All- Knowledgeable,
- the Forgiver of sins, the Acceptor of repentance, the Stern in punishment and the Lord of bounty; there is no god except Him, to Whom all shall return.
The Qur'an [al-Hijr(15) :49-50]
äÈÆ ÚÈÇÃà Çäà ÇäÇ ÇáÛÃæÑ ÇáÑÃÃã æÇä ÚÃÇÈà åæ ÇáÚÃÇÈ ÇáÇáÃã
- Announce, (O Muhammad) unto My slaves that verily I am the Forgiving, the Merciful,
- but at the same time My punishment is also the most painful punishment.
The Qur'an [al-An'am(6) :12]
Þá áãä ãÇÃà ÇáÓãÇæÇÊ æÇáÇÑÖ Þá ááå ßÊÈ Úáì äÃÓå ÇáÑÃãÉ áÃÌãÚäßã Çáì Ãæã ÇáÞÃÇãÉ áÇÑÃÈ ÃÃÃ¥ ÇáÃÃä ÎÓÑæÇ ÇäÃÓåã Ãåã áÇÃÄãäæä
- Ask them: "To whom belongs all that is in the heavens and in the earth?"; If they don't respond, tell them: "To Allah!" He has decreed mercy for Himself, that is why He does not punish you for your misdeeds right away. He will certainly gather you all together on the Day of Resurrection; there is no doubt about it. Yet those who have lost their souls will not believe.
On the authority of Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) say: Allah the Almighty said:
O son of Adam, so long as you call upon Me and ask of Me, I shall forgive you for what you have done, and I shall not mind. O son of Adam, were your sins to reach the clouds of the sky and were you then to ask forgiveness of Me, I would forgive you. O son of Adam, were you to come to Me with sins nearly as great as the earth and were you then to face Me, ascribing no partner to Me, I would bring you forgiveness nearly as great at it.
It was related by at-Tirmidhi (also by Ahmad ibn Hanbal). Its chain of authorities is sound.
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: When Allah decreed the Creation He pledged Himself by writing in His book which is laid down with Him: My mercy prevails over my wrath. It was related by Muslim (also by al-Bukhari, an-Nasa'i and Ibn Majah).
The Qur'an [al-Baqarah( 2):186]

- When my servants question you about Me, tell them that I am very close to them. I answer the prayer of every suppliant when he calls Me; therefore, they should respond to Me and put their trust in Me, so that they may be rightly guided.
The Qur'an [al-Imran(3) :132-136]
- And obey Allah and the Messenger; that ye may obtain mercy.
- Be quick in the race for forgiveness from your Lord, and for a Garden whose width is that (of the whole) of the heavens and of the earth, prepared for the righteous,-
- Those who spend (freely), whether in prosperity, or in adversity; who restrain anger, and pardon (all) men;- for Allah loves those who do good;-
- And those who, having done an act of indecency to be ashamed of, or wronged their own souls, remember Allah, and ask for forgiveness for their sins,- and who can forgive sins except Allah? - and are never obstinate in persisting knowingly in (the wrong) they have done.
- For such the reward is forgiveness from their Lord, and Gardens with rivers flowing underneath,- an eternal dwelling: How excellent a recompense for those who work (and strive)!
The Qur'an [al-Hadid(57) :21]
ÓÇÈÞæÇ Çáì ãÛÃÑÉ ãä ÑÈßã æÌäÉ ÚÑÖåÇ ßÚÑÖ ÇáÓãÇà æÇáÇÑÖ ÇÚÃÊ ááÃÃä ÇãäæÇ ÈÇááå æÑÓáå Ãáß ÃÖá Çááå ÃÄÊÃÃ¥ ãä ÃÔÇà æÇááå Ãæ ÇáÃÖá ÇáÚÙÃã
- Therefore, earnestly strive for the forgiveness of your Lord and for the paradise which is as vast as the heaven and the earth, prepared for those who believe in Allah and His Messengers. Such is the grace of Allah, which He bestows on whom He pleases, and Allah is the Owner of mighty grace.
The Qur'an [At-Tahrim(66) :8]

- O you who believe! turn to Allah a sincere turning; maybe your Lord will remove from you your evil and cause you to enter gardens beneath which rivers flow, on the day on which Allah will not abase the Prophet and those who believe with him; their light shall run on before them and on their right hands; they shall say: Our Lord! make perfect for us our light, and grant us protection, surely Thou hast power over all things.
The Qur'an [Al-Mu'min(40) :7-9]
ÇáÃÃä ÃÃãáæä ÇáÚÑÔ æãä Ãæáå ÃÓÈÃæä ÈÃãà ÑÈåã æÃÄãäæä Èå æÃÓÊÛÃÑæä ááÃÃä ÇãäæÇ ÑÈäÇ æÓÚÊ ßá ÔÆ ÑÃãÉ æÚáãÇ ÃÇÛÃÑ ááÃÃä ÊÇÈæÇ æÇÊÈÚæÇ ÓÈÃáß æÞåã ÚÃÇÈ ÇáÌÃÃã ÑÈäÇ æÇÃÎáåã ÌäÇÊ ÚÃä ÇáÊà æÚÃÊåã æãä Õáà ãä ÇÈÇÆåã æÇÒæÇÌåã æÃÑÃÇÊåã Çäß ÇäÊ ÇáÚÒÃÃ’ ÇáÃßÃã æÞåã ÇáÓÃÆÇÊ æãä ÊÞ ÇáÓÃÆÇÊ ÃæãÆà ÃÞà ÑÃãÊå æÃáß åæ ÇáÃæÒ ÇáÚÙÃã
- Those angels who bear the Throne of Allah and those who stand around it glorify their Lord with His praises, believe in Him and implore forgiveness for the believers, saying: Our Lord! You embrace all things with your mercy and knowledge. Forgive those who repent and follow Your Way, and save them from the punishment of the blazing fire.
- O Lord, admit them to the gardens of Eden which You have promised them together with all the righteous among their fathers, their wives and their descendants. You are the All-Mighty, All-Wise.
- Deliver them from all evil. He whom You will deliver from the punishment of their sins on that Day will surely earn Your Mercy and that will surely be the highest achievement.
Please don't be confuse here! Allah can forgive all the sins but don't be confuse with whatever is due by the Court. For example, if someone has murdered someone, the killer must be punished by the Court & Law.
However, if you ask Allah for his Mercy and Forgiveness, He can SAVE YOU FROM THE EVIL/TROUBLES IN THE FUTURE and SAVE YOU FROM THE HELL FIRE and enter you into Paradise.
When the Earth is dead, and the soil is dry, when there is no hope but to cry; People see the clouds coming with water and then they enjoy.
Just like the barren land becomes cultivated after Allah provides water to it, human being feels "alive" after getting His Mercy and Forgiveness.
