Video Description (from Youtube)
In Episode 3 of The Quran in Dialogue with Other Faiths, Dr. Shabir Ally explores the Quran’s powerful emphasis on the nearness and mercy of God, addressing a universal question: Is God distant, or truly close and responsive to us? Drawing on Quran 2:186, revealed in the context of Ramadan, he highlights God’s promise to answer those who call upon Him, alongside verses such as 50:16 and 8:24 that affirm God’s intimate closeness to every human being. Dr. Ally then turns to the Bible, including Psalms 145 and the teachings of Jesus in the New Testament, to show that God’s compassion, kindness, and mercy are likewise central themes in Jewish and Christian scriptures. He reflects on how the Quran reinforces this message through the repeated invocation of Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim, underscoring divine mercy as a defining attribute of God. He invites believers to embody that mercy in their own lives, extending kindness to family, neighbors, and all of creation.If you enjoy this video, please support our work financially by:
