The Merciful is a feminine name for God. God gives people
chances to change or to make situations better. This name is applied to God
when he lowered the number of prayers for Muhammad and the followers of Islam.
For Abraham he also lowered the number of good people to be found before he
destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. God was merciful enough to bargain with Abraham
and Muhammad.
The Compassionate is another feminine name for God. In
Christianity, God is seen as compassionate when he sent his son to die for us.
God was also compassionate to Abraham when he sent an angel to tell him not to
sacrifice his son. God cares for his people and does what is possible so that
they will be happy and be in union with God.
The Creator is a masculine name for God. In the beginning it
was God who created the world. God is so great that he was able to do it in six
days. He designed every living thing on earth with such detail. He is also
still creating as people see when new life is created.
The Revealer is another masculine name for God. God revealed
to Abraham monotheism creating a new religion in the process. God also sent an
angel to reveal the Quran to Muhammad. The last book of the Christian Bible is
Revelations where God revealed to John what would occur when Jesus returned.
God reveals things to us so that people can become better in the future.
God is great and is hard to describe in a few words. The
names of The Merciful, The Compassionate, The Creator, and the Revealer show
God during his interaction with the world and humanity. The Creator is God
making the world. The Merciful and Compassionate show God interacting and
helping humans. God the Revealer shows God opening people’s eyes to see the
truth and help humans live better lives.
