99 names of Allah
Ar-Rahman: The Beneficient/Gracious/
Merciful
- He who wills goodness for all His creatures.
Ar-Raheem: The Merciful
- He who has plenty of Mercy for all His believers.
Ar-Rahman and Ar-Raheem are two names derived from Ar-Rahmah (the mercy).
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) said, "Allah has divided mercy into one hundred parts; and He retained with Him ninety-nine parts, and sent down to earth one part. Through this one part creatures deal with one another with compassion, so much so that an animal lifts its hoof over its young lest it should hurt it".
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
[Tasmiyyah: Bismillah]
"All the praises and thanks be to Allah, the Lord of all that exists. The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. The Owner of the Day of Recompense."
[surat ul Fatiha ayats 1-3]

There are so many Hadith, Quranic ayats and stories to prove the Grace and Mercy of Allah.
Just take your own life story for instance. Allah is allowing you to read this so that it may click in your head that you need to snap out of shaytaans trance and repent to Allah! Allah forgives everything apart from shirk! So make dua to Him showing that you know He is Ar-Rahman, Ar-Raheem!
