Your Lord hath inscribed for Himself (the rule of) mercy: verily, if any of you did evil in ignorance, and thereafter repented, and amend (his conduct), lo! He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful
“The merciful are shown mercy by the All-Merciful. Show mercy to those on earth, and He Who is in heaven will show mercy unto you”

Uh, oh. Here we go again.
Muhammed was illiterate. What he got from The Torah was by word of mouth from Christian missionaries. I think he even screwed up the Genesis story.
