The holy Quran makes mention,” Behold, then, [O man,] these signs of God’s grace - how He gives life to the earth after it had been lifeless! Verily, this Selfsame [God] is indeed the One that can bring the dead back to life: for He has the power to will anything! Ar-Rum (The Romans) 30:50 Also, “(SAY: “[Thus speaks God:] ‘O you servants of Mine who have transgressed against your own selves! Despair not of God’s mercy: behold, God forgives all sins - for, verily, He alone is much-forgiving, a dis-penser of grace!’ ” Az-Zumar (The
Groups) 39:53And,” But is it they who distribute thy Sustainer’s grace? [Nay, as] it is We who distribute their means of livelihood among them in the life of this world, and raise some of them by degrees above others, to the end that they might avail themselves of one another’s help - [so, too, it is We who bestow gifts of the spirit upon whomever We will]: and this thy Sustainer’s grace is better than all [the worldly wealth] that they may amass. ( z-Zukhruf (The Gold Adornments) 43:32).
And,” [Hence,] O my sons, go forth and try to obtain some tidings of Joseph and his brother; and do not lose hope of God's life-giving mercy: verily, none but people who deny the truth can ever lose hope of God's life-giving mercy. Yusuf (Joseph) 12:87
These verses reveal Allah’s unlimited and vast mercy. According to the mufassireen (the commentators), the earth was dry and dust full and was unable to give any agricultural production, and suddenly cloud come and it was rain and this dead earth become again alive and produces greenery that is waving. Same as, when it rains of Allah’s mercy on the dead hearts, that have been dead due to committing sins, again, are living and powerful. Because Allais mercy gives glad tidings to the sinners that they should not worry about their sins because Allah forges all of them and enters His bondsmen to the Paradise, Because according to the Islamic scholars, do not lose hope of God’s life-giving mercy,
but infidels not the Muslims . But, notably, Allah mercy is not for those who are mushriks it means they ascribes partners to Allah Almighty and He will not forgive them at all until they offer , tauba , (repentance) and intend not to do them again. The holy Quran reveals,” VERILY, God does not forgive the ascribing of divinity to aught beside Him, although He forgives any lesser sin unto whomever He wills: for he who ascribes divinity to aught beside God has indeed contrived an awesome sin. An-Nisa (The Women) 4:48. Major sins ( gunahe kabeera) are also not forgiven but by tauba. Infect, faith is between the fear of Allah and hope of His mercy. By this way, he is really is entitled to God’s life-living mercy.
