Mercy and compassion are central themes in the Quran. The Quranic view is that Allah is the Most Merciful and the Most Compassionate, and that He has created the universe with love and mercy. The Quran encourages believers to show mercy and compassion towards others, and emphasizes the importance of these qualities in fostering a just and harmonious society.
Here are some verses from the Quran that emphasize mercy and compassion:
Chapter 2, Verse 195: "And spend in the way of Allah and do not throw [yourselves] with your [own] hands into destruction [by refraining]. And do good; indeed, Allah loves the doers of good."
Chapter 3, Verse 159: "So by mercy from Allah, [O Muhammad], you were lenient with them. And if you had been rude [in speech] and harsh in heart, they would have disbanded from about you. So pardon them and ask forgiveness for them and consult them in the matter. And when you have decided, then rely upon Allah. Indeed, Allah loves those who rely [upon Him]."
Chapter 3, Verse 92: "Never will you attain the good [reward] until you spend [in the way of Allah] from that which you love. And whatever you spend - indeed, Allah is Knowing of it."
Chapter 4, Verse 36: "And worship Allah and associate nothing with Him, and to parents do good, and to relatives, orphans, the needy, the near neighbor, the neighbor farther away, the companion at your side, the traveler, and those whom your right hands possess. Indeed, Allah does not like those who are self-deluding and boastful."
Chapter 7, Verse 156: "And decree for us in this world [that which is] good and [also] in the Hereafter; indeed, we have turned back to You." [Allah] said, "My punishment - I afflict with it whom I will, but My mercy encompasses all things." So I will decree it [especially] for those who fear Me and give zakah and those who believe in Our verses."
Chapter 7, Verse 151: "Those who follow the Messenger, the unlettered prophet, whom they find written in what they have of the Torah and the Gospel, who enjoins upon them what is right and forbids them what is wrong and makes lawful for them the good things and prohibits for them the evil and relieves them of their burden and the shackles which were upon them. So they who have believed in him, honored him, supported him and followed the light which was sent down with him - it is those who will be the successful."

Chapter 22, Verse 78: "And strive for Allah with the striving due to Him. He has chosen you and has not placed upon you in the religion any difficulty. [It is] the religion of your father, Abraham. Allah named you "Muslims" before [in former scriptures] and in this [revelation] that the Messenger may be a witness over you and you may be witnesses over the people. So establish prayer and give zakah and hold fast to Allah. He is your protector; and excellent is the protector, and excellent is the helper."
Chapter 24, Verse 22: "And let not those of virtue among you and wealth swear not to give [aid] to their relatives and the needy and the emigrants for the cause of Allah, and let them pardon and overlook. Would you not like that Allah should forgive you? And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful."

Chapter 38, Verse 41: "And remember Our servant Job, when he called to his Lord, "Indeed, Satan has touched me with hardship and torment.""
Chapter 57, Verse 9: "He is the One who sends down water from the sky. With it, We produce vegetation of all kinds, from which We bring greenery, from which We produce grains packed in ears. And from the date palm trees, from their pollen, come bunches of dates hanging low. And gardens of grapes, olives and pomegranates, each similar yet different. Watch their fruit as it grows and ripens. These are signs for people who believe."
Chapter 57, Verse 10: "And what is the matter with you that you spend not in the cause of Allah? And to Allah belongs the heritage of the heavens and the earth."
Chapter 57, Verse 10: "And why do you not spend in the cause of Allah while to Allah belongs the heritage of the heavens and the earth? Not equal among you are those who spent before the conquest [of Makkah] and fought [and those who did so after it]. Those are greater in degree than they who spent afterwards and fought. But to all Allah has promised the best [reward]. And Allah, with what you do, is Acquainted."
Chapter 59, Verse 10: "And [there is a share for] those who came after them, saying, "Our Lord, forgive us and our brothers who preceded us in faith and put not in our hearts [any] resentment toward those who have believed. Our Lord, indeed You are Kind and Merciful."
Chapter 59, Verse 9: "And [also for] those who were settled in al-Madinah and [adopted] the faith before them. They love those who emigrated to them and find not any want in their breasts of what the emigrants were given but give [them] preference over themselves, even though they are in privation. And whoever is protected from the stinginess of his soul – it is those who will be the successful."

Chapter 90, Verses 12-16: "And what can make you know what is [breaking through] the difficult pass? It is the freeing of a slave, or feeding on a day of severe hunger, an orphan of near relationship, or a needy person in misery. And then being among those who believed and advised one another to patience and advised one another to compassion."
Chapter 90, Verse 14-16: "We have certainly created man into hardship. Does he think that never will anyone overcome him? He says, "I have spent wealth in abundance." Does he think that no one has seen him?"

These verses emphasize the mercy and compassion of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and the importance of following his example. The first verse describes the Prophet as someone who enjoins upon his followers what is right and forbids what is wrong, and who relieves them of their burdens and shackles. The second verse describes the Prophet as someone who is concerned for his followers and is kind and merciful to them. The third verse describes how the believing men and women are allies to one another, enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong, and are merciful to one another. These verses demonstrate that mercy and compassion are not only expected of Muslims towards others, but are also embodied in the life and example of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
