Mercy is a combination of two Arabic words. Mercy means union and mercy means relationship, which Islam has introduced as one of the most important terms and religious duty in the social life of Muslims. ( Reward of Mercy )
Dear listeners, Salah Rahmi is a mixture of two Arabic words Salah means union and Rahm means relationship which Islam has made known as one of the most important terms and religious duty in the social life of Muslims.
Imam Nawawi Rahmat Allah (swt) says that merciful reward means: treating relatives with kindness.
This kindness is sometimes performed through wealth, sometimes as a service and sometimes by meeting relatives and greeting them. That is, it is performed in different ways according to the circumstances and requirements of the situation.
Qazi Ayyaz (may Allah have mercy on him) said: There is absolutely no disagreement about the fact that it is obligatory in all circumstances to have a merciful relationship with one’s relatives.
Whether they are relatives or in-laws and separation from them which is called ‘severance of mercy’ is a great sin. (Reward of Mercy ).
Since mercy is related to the rights of worshipers, therefore the religion of Islam has emphasized it very much.
The right to kinship is more important in the moral teachings of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) than any other religion in the world.
This has been repeatedly pointed out in the Qur’an and the hadiths. The main significance of this is the interpretation of the word mercy which has been given by the Creator of the universe himself, which was narrated by Imam Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him) in his Sahih with reference to Hazrat Anas Razi. (Reward of Mercy).
Allaah has narrated from the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) in which the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) says that mercy clings to the Divine Throne like a branch of a tree and says in very eloquent words: If you do, keep it together, and if you cut me off and throw me away, separate it from me.
Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): I am the Most Merciful, I am the Most Merciful. I derive mercy from my name. (That is, mercy is taken from the Most Gracious and the Most Merciful.) So whoever joins it, I will join him and I will break it and I will break it too. ( Reward of Mercy ).
In the light of this hadith, we can appreciate the importance of the merciful reward and know what its position is in the sight of Allah Almighty. Dear Sirs! The Qur’an Al-Hakim in verse 21 of Surah Al-Ra’d has described the merciful reward as the most important symbol of the intellectuals.
He said: That is, they are the ones who keep together what Allah has commanded to be kept together, whereas in contrast they are called the transgressors and the wicked who commit cruelty. Thus, in verse 27 of Surah Al-Baqarah, it is stated that the transgressors are those who break the promise made to Allah and also cut off the reward for which Allah has commanded that it should be kept together.
It was learned that this bond of merciful reward is an integral part of the social system established by Allah Almighty. Violation of this is a very displeasing act in the sight of Allah and its effects are manifested in the form of family quarrels, mental anxieties and some jealousy.
They make human life miserable and ugly.
That is why the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) has always given it a key position in his sermons.
After Tawheed and Prophethood, the believers have been commanded to have a merciful reward. The important thing is that it has a standard status in the beautiful morals of the Holy Prophet (saww) himself.
After the first revelation, when Hazrat Khadijah (may God have mercy on her) He said to Allah, “I am afraid for my life.” He replied, “By Allah, Allah will never waste you and will not leave you alone, for you are merciful.”He also mentioned other high morals. Reward of Mercy.
Similarly, before Abu Sufyan converted to Islam, when the Quraysh were on a campaign from Mecca against the Muslims in Syria, Har Qal summoned him to his court and asked him to What do the Prophets command you to do? Abu Sufyan replied: They say: Worship one God, do not associate anyone with Him, and forsake all that your forefathers used to say. Reward of Mercy .
Then he said that he commands us to pray, to speak the truth, to be chaste and to have a merciful reward. There are many such incidents in the books of Sira which make it very clear that you yourself are a merciful reward.
