Q
What is the significance of Allah’s mercy in achieving salvation according to Islamic teachings?
A
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “The deeds of anyone of you will not save you (from the (Hell) Fire).” They said,
“Even you (will not be saved by your deeds), O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)?” He said, “No, even I (will not be
saved) unless and until Allah bestows His Mercy on me. Therefore, do good deeds properly, sincerely
and moderately, and worship Allah in the forenoon and in the afternoon and during a part of the night,
and always adopt a middle, moderate, regular course whereby you will reach your target (Paradise).
