He Wrote on Himself Mercy | Ramadan Pause & Reflect #3 | Dr. Omar Suleiman
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In Surah Al-An‘am (6:12), Allah says: “He has written mercy upon Himself.”
And in the hadith qudsi, Allah declares: “O My servants, I have made oppression forbidden for Myself…”
The One with absolute authority chose to write mercy upon Himself and make oppression haram for Himself. What does that mean for us? When you have the upper hand — at home, at work, in leadership — do you hold yourself to a higher standard? Or do you justify your actions because you can?
A powerful reminder about divine justice, mercy, and not losing yourself.
