Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: ((And He is the Most Merciful, the Most Forgiving))

He said: with His awliya (close friends of Allah) This is also a specification without evidence. The word its object is not mentioned, and the author (may Allah have mercy on him) says: "with His awliya (close friends of Allah)" So according to him, His enemies have no mercy from Him. This is the author's statement. Yes, and also for His awliya (close friends of Allah), so His enemies have no forgiveness for them. But the correct view is generality, because these two names are absolute, so they remain in their absoluteness. He is Merciful even to His enemies. The disbeliever has been given by Allah the Exalted health and provision of clothing, food, drink, shelter, a wife, and family, and all of this is mercy, but it is general mercy, meaning it is not specific like the mercy of the believers. And forgiveness is also deserved by the one who repents from his enmity toward Allah. And if he repents, he is a wali (close friend of Allah) among the awliya (close friends of Allah) Mighty and Majestic. But a person may have both enmity and friendship. Yes, and they are deserving of the forgiveness of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). And Allah knows best.
