The one who bestows favours, both outward and inward, lavishly to His creation despite their many acts of disobedience and transgression. He is gentle upon those who disobey Him and in censuring them so that perchance they may repent and gives them respite so that they may become penitent.
“And know that Allah Knows what is in your minds, so fear Him. And know that Allah is Ever Forgiving, Halim.”
[al-Baqarah (2): 235]
“If you lend to Allah a goodly loan He will multiply it for you and will forgive you. Allah is the Appreciative, Halim.”
[at-Taghabun (64): 17]
