Question:
Another questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, it is mentioned in an authentic hadith that How do we reconcile this with attributing this mercy to Allah? Is it one of His attributes, or is it a created thing?
Answer:
It is of two types: a created attribute, such as looking at the effects of Allah’s mercy. Rain is mercy, and He is the One who controls[Ash-Shuraa 42:28]. So rain is mercy, and the mercy by which creation shows compassion to one another is created; Allah created it and placed it in creation. As for the mercy that is one of His attributes, Glorified and Exalted is He, this is befitting His majesty, Mighty and Majestic. Yes.
