God likes compassion, mercy. Love is the basic characteristic of a Muslim. We say; "God is Al-Ghafur [The Most Forgiving] and Ar-Rahim [The Merciful]." We say "Bismillahir Ar-Rahman Ar-Raheem." Ar-Rahman and Ar-Raheem.. What does Ar-Raheem mean? The Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate. Muslims should also embrace these Beautiful Names of God. - Harun Yahya
