الأثر التربوي للرحمة في القرآن الكريم

Abstract EN

The paper aims to explicate the educational effect of mercy in the Holy Quran.

The researcher has adopted the inductive, and descriptive-analytical approaches.

The procedures were to read the Holy Quran, identify the verses (Ayat) that mentioned mercy in its various terminologies, refer to the books of Quran interpretation (Tafseer) and language to extrapolate the meanings of mercy in the holy verses, and then to figure out the educational effects of mercy in terms of: individual, family, society, humanity in general, and the educational field.

Moreover, the study results showed that the study of the mercy verses in their abundant number, and the breadth of meanings will result in heart-comfort, reassurance and glad tidings.

They also clearly clarify that mercy is the general law of the Islamic religion.

Mercy is a method, means and ends that includes all creatures, extends throughout the world and the afterlife, and works to dispel anxiety, concern, despair and sorrow out of humans.

Furthermore, mercy arises hope and optimism to win Allah's rewards, adds feelings of honor, transcendence and high status to the innermost, and calls at the same time to work and charity to reach supremacy and high-level status.

Therefore, its impacts are many wherever one looks and ponders.

Some of such impacts can be comprehended via studying signs and contemplating over them, as well as via watching the universe, events, experiences and biographies, which are crystal clear to those who think and scrutinize the course of events, and are far from those who are busy with trivialities.

The scope of mercy is not possible to measure because it has expanded everything, as it is a gift and virtue bestowed from Allah almighty.
