The most commonly used names in the primary sources are "Al-Rahman", meaning "Most Compassionate" and "Al-Rahim", meaning "Most Merciful". The former compasses the whole creation, therefore applying to God's mercy in that it gives every necessary condition to make life possible. The latter applies to God's mercy in that it gives favor for good deeds. Thus "Al-Rahman" includes both the believers and the unbelievers, but "Al-Rahim" only the believers. God is said to love forgiving, with a hadith stating God would replace a sinless people with one who sinned but still asked repentance.
