If the concept of divine unity dominates the mind, it is the principle of divine compassion that rules the heart in Islam.

Drawn from his own translations of the text, scholar and author Reza Shah-Kazemi has selected key verses from the Koran which manifest the various facets of this mercy, a mercy which bestows profound peace and infinite love.
