The kindness / mercy of Allah Ta’ala

Allah Ta’ala is kind and His kindness is unlimited. He loves His servants more than a mother loves her baby whom she is still breastfeeding. What and what won’t a mother do for her child? She can give everything and if  need be, she can sacrifice even her life for the well-being of her child. And in general, it is the case of everyone to accept to make sacrifices for his beloved.

When we say that Allah Ta’ala loves His servants more than a mother loves her child, it is just to give a small idea of how much Allah Ta’ala loves us. Otherwise, there is no comparison. The love of Allah Ta’ala is inestimable and it does not have any limit as Allah Ta’ala is beyond all limits.

Allah Ta’ala loves us and He has the ability and the power to grant us everything that we need and want. To give someone what he needs may be easy to a certain extent but it is impossible to give a person what he wants. It is only Allah Ta’ala who has this power. The treasure of Allah Ta’ala is so great that even if everyone in this Dunya is granted whatever he wants, His treasure will remain intact without decreasing by an iota also. It is a bit like a source of water that gushes from the bottom as you scoop from the top. Thus, Allah Ta’ala does not have to do savings or to pass the law of 'summer time' or raise tax or block import and decrease consumption. Allah Ta’ala is Al-Ghani who possesses everything:

"What is with you shall come to an end and what is with Allah Ta’ala will last forever. We shall most definitely reward those who exercise Sabr for the good deeds that they do." (S 16: V 96)
