➋ { ذُو الرَّحْمَةِ:} The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah has one hundred mercies. He has sent down one mercy among the jinn, humans, animals, and insects; it is because of this one mercy that they show kindness and mercy to one another, and because of this one mercy, even wild animals love their young. Allah has kept ninety-nine mercies with Himself, which He will bestow upon His servants on the Day of Resurrection." [ مسلم، التوبۃ، باب فی سعۃ رحمۃ اﷲ تعالٰی …… : 2752/19 ]
➌ { اِنْ يَّشَاْ يُذْهِبْكُمْ …… :} That is, just as He made you successors of previous people, in the same way, He can destroy you and make others your successors, or it means that His power is not limited to creating only jinn and humans, but He can also create a third kind of creation in their place. (Razi) See Surah An-Nisa (133), Surah Ibrahim (20, 19), and Surah Fatir (15 to 17).

[140]
It is Allah’s Mercy Upon You That He is Taking Service of the Religion From You:
That is, Allah has no need that arises because of you, nor is any benefit of His dependent on you, such that your disobedience would harm Him or your obedience would benefit Him in any way. Rather, it is His utmost mercy and kindness that He has shown you the path of guidance, by acting upon which you can both save yourselves from punishment and attain high ranks. The second meaning of His being Merciful is that He does not immediately punish you for your sins and continues to forgive your faults. Otherwise, if He were strict, your crimes are so many that He would have removed you from this world and replaced you with other people, just as He brought you after previous nations. And this is not at all difficult for Him. Therefore, your well-being lies only in obeying Him.
