Question:
It is mentioned in al-Baghawi's tafsir regarding the saying of Allah the Exalted:
And We gave him out of Our mercyوَوَهَبْنَا لَهُ مِن رَّحْمَتِنَا
[Maryam 19:53]
meaning "from Our bounty." Is this considered ta'wil (figurative interpretation)?

Answer:
Mercy can be a created thing, such as rain.
So observe the effects of the mercy of Allah - how He gives life to the earth after its lifelessnessفَانظُرْ إِلَىٰ آثَارِ رَحْمَتِ اللَّهِ كَيْفَ يُحْيِي الْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَا
[Ar-Rum 30:50]
So mercy is of two types: mercy as an attribute of Allah Mighty and Majestic, and created mercy. Paradise is mercy from the mercy of Allah Mighty and Majestic, and it is created. Yes, the child is from the mercy of Allah for the parent. Yes.
