Summary of Sunni concepts

2
00:00:09,179 --> 00:00:14,179
The name of God is the Most Gracious and the Most Merciful and the difference between them

3
00:00:14,179 --> 00:00:20,109
The attribute of mercy is established for God Almighty in the Qur’an and Sunnah

4
00:00:20,109 --> 00:00:27,109
It is a perfect attribute befitting the essence of God Almighty, like all other attributes

5
00:00:27,109 --> 00:00:31,109
God Almighty has been described as the Most Merciful in the Holy Qur’an

6
00:00:31,109 --> 00:00:34,109
About forty-five times

7
00:00:34,109 --> 00:00:38,109
Other than what was mentioned in the basmalah at the beginning of every surah

8
00:00:38,109 --> 00:00:41,109
From that is the saying of God Almighty

9
00:00:41,109 --> 00:00:43,109
Most Gracious, Most Merciful

10
00:00:43,109 --> 00:00:45,109
And the Almighty said

11
00:00:45,109 --> 00:00:48,109
And your God is one God

12
00:00:48,109 --> 00:00:52,109
There is no god but He, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

13
00:00:52,109 --> 00:00:57,240
God Almighty is also described as Most Merciful in the Holy Qur’an

14
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,240
About one hundred and thirty-two times

15
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:05,239
Other than what was mentioned in the basmalah at the beginning of every surah

16
00:01:05,239 --> 00:01:08,239
This includes the words of God Almighty

17
00:01:08,239 --> 00:01:10,239
Most Gracious, Most Merciful

18
00:01:10,239 --> 00:01:12,239
And the Almighty said

19
00:01:12,239 --> 00:01:17,430
Tell My servants that I am the Forgiving, the Merciful

20
00:01:17,430 --> 00:01:20,430
Scholars have differentiated between the two names

21
00:01:20,430 --> 00:01:22,430
The Most Gracious and the Most Merciful

22
00:01:22,430 --> 00:01:24,590
With the following differences

23
00:01:24,590 --> 00:01:25,590
Firstly

24
00:01:25,590 --> 00:01:27,590
That the Most Gracious

25
00:01:27,590 --> 00:01:31,590
He is the One who has comprehensive mercy for all creatures in this world

26
00:01:31,590 --> 00:01:35,590
And for believers in the afterlife in addition to that

27
00:01:35,590 --> 00:01:37,590
Among the Most Merciful

28
00:01:37,590 --> 00:01:39,590
It concerns believers only

29
00:01:39,590 --> 00:01:41,590
As God Almighty said

30
00:01:41,590 --> 00:01:44,590
He was merciful to the believers

31
00:01:44,590 --> 00:01:48,590
Where it indicates the introduction of the neighbor and the adjective

32
00:01:48,590 --> 00:01:49,590
With believers

33
00:01:49,590 --> 00:01:51,590
Specialized and merciful to them

34
00:01:51,590 --> 00:01:53,590
And limit it to them

35
00:01:53,590 --> 00:01:55,590
The meaning

36
00:01:55,590 --> 00:01:58,590
He was merciful to believers and not to others

37
00:01:58,590 --> 00:02:00,849
Secondly

38
00:02:00,849 --> 00:02:06,849
The Most Gracious indicates the intrinsic mercy that exists in the essence of God Almighty

39
00:02:06,849 --> 00:02:08,849
While the merciful

40
00:02:08,849 --> 00:02:13,849
It indicates God's actual mercy regarding the deceased

41
00:02:13,849 --> 00:02:16,199
Third

42
00:02:16,199 --> 00:02:20,199
It is not permissible for anyone to be called or described as the Most Merciful

43
00:02:20,199 --> 00:02:23,199
It is a name specific to God Almighty

44
00:02:23,199 --> 00:02:28,199
While it is permissible to describe any of creation as merciful

45
00:02:28,199 --> 00:02:32,870
