Abstract
This paper is an attempt to expose the real face of Islam in its treatment of its followers and opponents by presenting the original texts from the two true sources of Islam: Quran and Sunnah and the texts of interpretations by classic and modern Muslim scholars. All these texts are advocating moderation, mercy, and forgiveness. They carry all the human implications of elevation in dealing with all humans whether Muslims or Non-Muslims. The paper seeks to promote those effaced, whether deliberately or accidently, aspects of Islam in recent times despite the obvious presence of hidden hands that seek to trifle with the nation and disrupted it into warring parties instead of supporting and helping each other.•The aim of this paper is to defend the image of Islam and demystify its distorted image.•The paper follows an analytical theory to remind the nation and direct knowledge seekers to pay attention to the meanings of mercy hidden between the lines.
