The word ‘Khair” normally is used for “Good” and in some stages is used for “Very good”. It has been used 10 times in the Qura’n in the latter meaning as addition to the attribute. We will study the same in the following verses.
Khair is equal to existence and the existence of being is equal to Khair because God’s existence is unique and unlimited. It is the best of all existence. He is the best judge; the best giver of sustenance and the best helper.
All these are attributes of deeds and we have gathered them all under one heading so that our discussion ends with goodness.
Now we will listen to the following verses through our hearts:

You are the best of all who show mercy.
