During periods when the atmosphere is polluted with such sparks of evil, it is very challenging for believers to maintain their noble moral qualities.
“And the servants of the Most Merciful are those who walk upon the earth in humility, and when the ignorant address them harshly, they say “Peace!’” (Qur’an 25:63)
There is a significant subtlety in referring to the believers as “the servants of the Most Merciful” instead of “the servants of God.” This implies that these believers are constantly engaged with God’s attributes of the Most Merciful (ar-Rahman) and the Most Compassionate (ar-Rahim), leading a life oriented towards His mercy and compassion. As they embody the “ethics of God,” their every action and behavior exudes gentleness, compassion, mercy, and kindness. They conduct themselves on earth with the dignity, seriousness, and humility befitting a believer. The refinement and beauty of their morals are reflected in all their actions, even in their walk.
