Consider the depiction of justice and mercy throughout the sections of the Qur’an found in the anthology.

What you see mentioned frequently is the idea that God is very forgiving. This is depicted as we see the various ways God allows people to atone for their ‘sins’. At one point in the narration, several methods of making amends for breaking an oath are mentioned; from feeding the poor to fasting for three days. What it seems like is that the narrative gives its followers as much options as possible to be devout. It also mentions that those who don’t believe are sent to follow other messengers, or other religions. The sense of justice seems to go along with the thought that as long as you follow the word of the Qur’an, you’re right, and if you don’t believe the word of ‘Him’, you will be punished.
