This quality titles a sura dubbed "the beauty of the Quran," written in rhymed prose, which features a refrain asking "Which, then, of your Lord's blessings do you both deny?" Feminist theologians make much of the fact that a name of Allah that invokes this quality shares its triconsonantal root with the Arabic word for "womb." This virtue of Allah, which titles the fifty-fifth surah , is mentioned twice at the end of the Sword Verse, after instructions about mushrikun who establish prayer and charity instead of fighting Muslims. This quality is also invoked twice in the very first ayah of the Qu'ran. This quality of Allah is twice invoked in the Bismillah through the names ar-Rahman and ar-Rahim. For 10 points, those who do not repent of shirk are the only sinners to whom Allah does not extend what divine virtue? ■END■
ANSWER: mercy [or being merciful; or being forgiving or having forgiveness; or being graceful or having graciousness; or being beneficent or having beneficence; or being compassionate; or being clement or having clemency; or Sura ar-Rahman before "ar-Rahman" is read; or ar-Rahim before it is read] [the word for "womb" referenced in sentence 2 is "rahm"]
