Fearlessness of Allah (S.w.T.)’s Plan
Allah (S.w.T.) possesses two kinds of qualities, the Jamali (good) and Jalali (severe). Example of Jamali qualities are His being RahmÄn (Beneficent), RahÄ«m (Merciful), KarÄ«m (Generous), HalÄ«m (Magnanimous), ShakÅ«r (Thankful), GhafÅ«r (one who forgives).
The Jalali qualities are His being Jabbar (Mighty), Qahhar (One who punishes), Muntaqim (One who retributes), Muzallil (One who degrades), Mutakabbir (Proud) and Shadīdul Iqab (Severe in punishing). Hence Allah (S.w.T.) informs of His good qualities and then warns of His Severity:
“Inform My servants that I am the Forgiving, The Merciful, and that My punishment - that is the painful punishment.”
(Surah al-HujurÄt 49:50)
Elsewhere Allah (S.w.T.) says,
“The Forgiver of faults and the Acceptor of repentance, severe to punish, Lord of bounty.”
(Surah GhÄfir, 40:3)
Thus Allah (S.w.T.) is the most Merciful of the mercifuls in the matter of forgiveness and also the most severe in retribution.
