55:1 Al-Rahmânالرَّحْمَـٰنِ – is “The Most Gracious and Merciful”. This Mercy is not bestowed as a reward for any action of ours. It is by the blessing of this grace that everything lives, eats, and has its sustaining needs fulfiled. It is through the operation of this grace that a human beings requirements of life are provided – the sun for heat, light and energy, air for breathing and water for drinking. It is the blessing of this Grace that from the earliest moment, all that is needed for spiritual development such as the capacities of rational thinking and speech, embedded love for the Creator, and innate drive for worship and the capacity to receive Divine Revelation have been provided. tc "This Mercy is not the consequence of, or reward of any action of ours. It is by the blessing of this Grace that everything lives and eats and has its sustaining needs fulfilled. It is through the operation of this grace that a human being fulfils his requirements of life, the sun for heat, light and energy, the air for breathing and water for drinking. It is by blessing of this grace that all that is needed for spiritual development such as the capacities of rational thinking and speech, embedded love for God and innate drive for worship and the capacity to receive Divine revelation has been provided from the earliest. "

Every created thing is the object of His Mercy. Rahmânîyyat رحمانيتis His Essence and His Grace, and being Merciful is His Attribute. His Mercy embraces everything and permeates all objects of creation. It has precedence over all His other Attributes. Every created thing is the object of His Mercy. The Mercy of Allâh flows in all created things and courses through His Selves and the Essences. The rank of Mercy is epitome to those who perceive and sublime to those of discursive mind."
