Al-Ḥalīm - The Non-Precipitate and Forbearing One The Mild The Indigent

Al-Ḥalīm is the One who witnesses the disobedience of the disobedient, the One who sees the violation of the command (amr). But anger does not rouse Him and rage does not seize Him. He is not one who is prompted by haste and recklessness to take swift vengeance, even though He has unlimited power to do so, even as God Most High said, “If God took mankind to task by that which they deserve, He would not leave a living creature on the surface of the earth”.

An Admonition: Man’s portion of the characterization of Al-Ḥalīm is obvious, for forbearance is one of the good qualities of the disposition of mankind, and it does not require a lengthy explanation.
