WOAG branch in Libya, Zliten Office, organized a lecture under the title of “Mercy among People in Quran and Sunnah” during the holy month of Ramadan.
Sheikh Mohammad bin Moamen, member of WOAG branch in Libya, said that mercy is one of the Islamic good morals that Islam urges to comply with, since it is the ethic of all prophets and messengers. He clarified that mercy means that Man is doing good to others; indeed, mercy is a mainstay upon which the Islamic society rests.
He pointed out that Ramadan is a month that its beginning is mercy, its middle is forgiveness and its end is surviving hell. Hence, we are much in need for mercy, as Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) said: “He who is not merciful to people Allah will not be merciful to him“; even Allah Almighty has prescribed mercy for himself.
He pointed out that the greatest outcome of practicing mercy is satisfying people’s needs; if people were merciful and cooperative to one another, there would not have been anyone homeless or in need. He concluded the lecture by praying to Allah Almighty to make us among the people of mercy.
This lecture came within the activity carried out by WOAG branch in Libya to confront the extremist ideology and to spread the moderate thinking, peaceful coexistence as well as refuting the discourse of hatred and violence.
