Mercy is a feature of Islamic religion as well as a distinctive feature in its legislation. The word of His Almighty, “And We sent thee not, save as a mercy unto the worlds” is among the famous Quranic verses on the tongues of many people to express the majesty of this religion and the tolerance of its legislation. The new government of Malaysia has taken the meanings of this verse as a shibboleth to articulate Islamic projects, works and plans under its rule of the country so to eliminate current trend in presenting Islam in stringent approaches, uncivilized methods and distorted images of the beauty and splendor of Islam. There are certain degrees where many people are plunged into bewilderment the reality of this religion between mercy and ferocity, clemency and cruelty, serenity and agitation, amplitude and narrowness. Likewise, the meanings of mercy, their depictions and their manifestations were veiled from people forasmuch as there are also provisions and statue that may conceal their realities or cover their details. This research is an attempt to delve into the meanings of mercy, its facts and minutes, and to reveal its images and manifestations through the Quranic verses in which the word mercy or its derivatives are mentioned and extract the location of mercy and its true position from these Quranic legislations. It is a library research that relies on extrapolating the Quranic texts in which the word mercy and important models were mentioned including its meaning, depictions, and manifestations of the legislative verses. Special attention is devoted to scholars’ discourse regarding this concept starting with challenges, problems and proposed solutions with a particular focus on contemporary researchers’ books and articles. The main contention of this paper is that the entire Quran by way of teachings, legislations, rulings, works, principles, essentials and rules does not vacate the circle of mercy and compassion yet is rooted in them. The mercy comes from The Most Merciful of The Merciful through His prophet, the faithful, the Compassionate, the Merciful.
