How Is God Merciful ?
Or this one: For example, the Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم said that if a believer dies of the plague or a stomach illness, they are considered a martyr, and all martyrs go to paradise”
The first people who made a gun did not need to kill someone to know it was deadly. God is the creator because he had the ability to create eternally- same with mercy. An item does not become an attribute that is intrinsic to it alresdy
If there was no one to kill, if the world is empty of any life, then the concept of deadly is invalid. It is only valid when there is someone to kill.
But you can’t call me a good father unless I am a good father, right ? I can be a “potential” good father.. but not a good father.. I will be a “future good father”.
You can compare human examples like this to God. > The mere fact that God always planned to or determined to create mankind, means that he was always merciful.
