111:1 Perish the hands of Abu Lahab, and may he perish too;

111:2 Neither his wealth nor what he has earned will avail him anything.

111:3 He will roast in a flaming fire,

111:4. And his wife will be a carrier of fire-wood,

111:5. She shall have a rope of fibre around her neck.

The Compassionate, the Merciful, or variations thereof, is the most repeated phrase in the Koran, and by a wide margin. In the Name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful is also the phrase that you hear Muslims repeating over and over during their daily prayers, and almost every time the name Allah is mentioned in print or during a conversation.

The further you get into the Koran the more difficulty you have in accepting the contradiction of a god who claims to be the embodiment of compassion and mercy revelling in burning unbelievers in His beloved Fire. There is a lot of pain and suffering in the Koran, but it is about more than that.
