currently listening to surah taha as i felt compelled to and this particular verse hit.
{ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُ عَلَى ٱلۡعَرۡشِ ٱسۡتَوَىٰ }
the most compassionate, ˹who is˺ established on the throne.
whenever we think of people in power, we don't think of mercy but rather abuse. the expection is betterment and instead most times, it's the opposite. having that much control on the lives of others will result in distance from empathy so they're acting on their sole benefit.
allah will never do that because of his compassion. allah wants the best for his servants out of love, rather than any benefit obtained from doing so. he is above needing anything and anyone.
it truly is comforting to know the one who has the most compassion and mercy is overseeing your matters so whatever happens is in your best interest
