Are then compassion and mercy not at the centre of Islam? But it is highly unfortunate that Islam today is known more for ‘jihad’ in the hands of those who kill and maim than mercy and compassion. Who is responsible for this?"engWith permission of the license/copyright holderIslamic ethicsReligious ethicsSpirituality and ethicsCompassion in IslamPreprint
