Through an overview of quranic verses, lesser known ḥadīth, interviews with Muslim compassion practitioners, the main argument of this paper is that reviving the prophetic practice (sunna) of raḥma (compassion) is urgently needed in a world that is increasingly self-centered and still impacted by white supremacy, racism, inhumane capitalism, and more inequities plaguing the world. Revisiting quranic verses and learning about the Prophet Muḥammad’s life (peace be upon him), are necessary but not sufficient ways for Muslims to live out more compassion in their lives. This paper also draws inspiration from other faith traditions, in addition to examining the originality (or not) of the basmala, the invocatory prayer beginning every quranic chapter except one.
