[6:54] -
ALLAH THE EXALTED, HAS WILLED UPON HIMSELF, THE LAW OF GRACE AND MERCY
[ALLAH’S Quran – 6:54 – Asad] “And when those who believe in Our messages come unto thee, say: "Peace be upon you. Your Sustainer has willed upon Himself the law of grace and mercy - so that if any of you does a bad deed out of ignorance, and thereafter repents and lives righteously, He shall be [found] much-forgiving, a dispenser of grace."
The Prophet (pbuh) has said:
[Muslim, Book #037, Hadith #6628] "Abu Huraira reported ALLAH's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: When ALLAH created the creation, He ordained for Himself and this document is with Him: Verily, My Mercy predominates My Wrath."
ALLAH’S Declaration Explained by the Scholar
[6:54 - Commentary - Asad] “The expression "God has willed upon Himself as a law" (kataba `ala nafsihi) occurs in the Qur’an only twice - here and in verse 54 of this surah - and in both instances with reference to His grace and mercy (rahmah); none of the other divine attributes has been similarly described. This exceptional quality of God's grace and mercy is further stressed in 7:156 "My grace overspreads everything" - and finds an echo in the authentic Tradition in which, according to the Prophet, God says of Himself, "Verily, My grace and mercy outstrips My wrath"
