82. “Al-`Afuww” (The Supreme Pardoner-The Forgiver, The One with wide forgiveness)

O believers! Do not go near Prayer in a drunken state until you are able to understand what you say. Nor (should you approach Prayer) until you bathe after total ablution becomes obligatory, unless you are travelling. And if you are sick, or on a journey, or return from a call of nature, or make sexual contact with (your) women and then fail to find water, then clean yourselves by using pure soil. So wipe your faces and hands. Surely, Allah is Most Pardoning, Most Forgiving. 4/43

They are those whom Allah shall certainly spare, and Allah is Most Pardoning, Most Forgiving.4/99

Whether you make a good act known or keep it hidden or excuse some(one’s) evil act, Allah is indeed Most Forgiving, All-Powerful.4/149

That is (the command). And whoever takes revenge in proportion to the torture inflicted upon him and then he is again wronged, Allah will surely help him. Allah is verily Most Forgiving, Most Pardoning.22/60

Those of you who separate their wives by zihar (i.e., they say to their wives: You are to me as my mother’s back. But by saying this) they do not become their mothers. Their mothers are only those who have given them birth. And no doubt they utter evil and false words. Surely, Allah is Most Forbearing, Most Forgiving.58/2

83. “Al-Ra’oof” (The Benign One-The Compassionate, The One with extreme Mercy. The Mercy of Allah is His will to endow upon whoever He willed among His creatures)

And, in the same way, (O Muslims,) We made you the best Umma (Community—fair to all with a tolerant, moderate and balanced outlook) so that you may bear witness to the people, and (Our exalted) Messenger (blessings and peace be upon him) bears witness to you. And We appointed the Qibla (the direction of Prayer), which you used to face before, only to bring to light (by trial) who would follow (Our) Messenger and who would turn back upon his heels. And this (change of Qibla) was indeed a hard task, but not for those whom Allah blessed with guidance (and gnosis of spiritual truths). And it is not Allah’s Glory to void your faith (without any reason). Allah is surely Most Clement, Ever-Merciful to mankind.2/143

On the Day when every soul shall find present (before him) every good that he accomplished and every evil that he perpetrated, he will wish there were a great distance between him and that evil (or that Day). Allah warns you to fear (the wrath) of His divine essence, and Allah is Most Compassionate towards His servants.3/30

Surely, Allah turned in His mercy towards the Prophet (blessings and peace be upon him) and (also) towards the Emigrants and the Helpers who followed him (even) in the hour of distress (of the battle of Tabuk), after (the situation emerged wherein) the hearts of a party of them had nearly deviated. Then He turned towards them with bestowal and mercy. Allah is indeed Most Compassionate and Ever-Merciful towards them.9/117

Surely, a (Glorious) Messenger from amongst yourselves has come to you. Your suffering and distress (becomes) grievously heavy on him (blessings and peace be upon him). (O mankind,) he is ardently desirous of your (betterment and guidance. And) he is most (deeply) clement and merciful to the believers.9/128

He is the One Who sends down clear signs to His (exalted) servant so that He may bring you out of the darkness into the light. Surely, Allah is the Most Clement, Ever-Merciful towards you.57/9

Then in the footsteps of these Messengers, We sent (other) Messengers and We sent ‘Isa, the son of Maryam (Jesus, the son of Mary) after them and gave him the Injil (the Gospel). And We created kindness and mercy in the hearts of those who were (the true) followers (of ‘Isa [Jesus]). And they themselves invented the innovation of monasticism. We did not prescribe it for them. But they (introduced this innovation of monasticism) merely to seek Allah’s pleasure. Then they could not practically keep and maintain that check which was its due (i.e., could not continue its spirit and discipline). So We paid those of them who believed (and continued the innovation of monasticism to seek the pleasure of Allah) their reward. And most of them (who left it and changed their ways) are disobedient.57/27

And those (too) who came after these (Emigrants and the Ansar [Supporters]) submit: ‘O our Lord, forgive us and our brothers who have preceded in embracing faith. And let not any spite and rancour be in our hearts against the believers. O our Lord, surely, You are Most Clement, Ever-Merciful.’59/10

84. “Malikul-Mulk” (The Eternal Possessor of Sovereignty-The One who controls the Dominion and gives dominion to whoever He willed)

(O My Beloved!) Submit (like this): ‘O Allah, Lord of sovereignty! You bestow sovereignty on whom You will, and You take away sovereignty from whom You will. You confer honour on whom You will, and You dishonour whom You will. All good is in Your Mighty Hand. Surely, You have absolute authority and control over everything.3/26

And to Allah alone belongs the sovereignty of all the heavens and the earth and to Him will all return.24/42

That Day, true sovereignty will belong to the Most Kind (Lord) and that will be very hard (i.e., tough) Day on the disbelievers.25/26

So, Glory be to Him in Whose Hand (i.e., power and control) is the sovereignty over everything and to Him you will be returned.36/83

The Day when they all will come forth (from the graves), and nothing of their (deeds) will remain hidden from Allah, (He will say:) ‘Whose is the Kingdom this Day?’ (It will be further added:) ‘It belongs to Allah, the One, the Most Dominant.’40/16

When I want to talk to Allah I say prayers and when I want that he talk to me I recite quran- Hazrath Ali(ra)
