الآية رقم (133) - إِن يَشَأْ يُذْهِبْكُمْ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ وَيَأْتِ بِآخَرِينَ وَكَانَ اللّهُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ قَدِيرًا

(133) - {If He wills, He can do away with you, O people, and bring others. And ever is Allah competent to do that.}

Allah (swt) is merciful to people and their weakness, and He is the Creator, the All-Knowing of His creation, and He is kind to them, so His mercy encompasses everything, and if He wills, He can do away with us and bring others, but He wants and loves the servants to be repentant, whenever they commit a sin, they repent and seek forgiveness.

Abo Huraira (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (saws) one day stood up for the prayer and we too stood up along with him. Then a bedouin shouted while offering prayer. “O Allah! Bestow Your Mercy on me and Muhammad only and do not bestow it on anybody else along with us. “When the Prophet (saws) had finished his prayer with Taslim, he said to the Bedouin:

“You have limited (narrowed) a very vast (thing),” meaning Allah’s Mercy.[1]

Verily, there are one hundred (parts of) mercy for Allah (swt), and it is one part of this mercy by virtue of which there is mutual love between the people and ninety-nine reserved for the Day of Resurrection.
