The Servants of the Most Merciful Who Walk on Earth Humbly — The Ten Attributes of True Servants
وَعِبَادُ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَمۡشُونَ عَلَى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ هَوۡنٗا
— الفرقان الآية 63
Verse: "The servants of the Most Merciful who walk on earth humbly." (25:63) — "Servants of the Most Merciful" — attributed to Ar-Rahman not Al-Qadir or Al-Jabbar, indicating true servitude is based on mercy not fear alone. Ten attributes from verses 63-77: walk humbly, say peace to the ignorant, spend the night prostrating and standing, pray against hellfire, spend moderately, worship Allah alone, don't kill, don't commit adultery, don't witness falsehood, pass by idle speech honorably. Lesson: these ten attributes drew the image of a complete human — review yourself.
