AL-HALEEM
(The Clement One)
The Forebearing, The One who delays the punishment for those who deserve it and then He might forgive them.
Allah is Al-Haleem, the most serene, kind and gentle. He does not punish people for every sin, he tolerates and is most gracious and merciful. He is ever calm and deliberate, never acting hastily, even with the wrongdoers. He gives us opportunity to learn and be kind.
From the root h-l-m which has the following classical Arabic connotations: to be forbearing, mild, lenient, clement to be forgiving, gentle, deliberate to be leisurely in manner, not hasty to be calm, serene to manage one's temper to exhibit moderation.
He will surely cause them to enter an entrance with which they will be pleased, and indeed, Allah is Knowing and Forbearing. (Quran 22:59)
