The [[Quran]] says "God is the Possessor of Infinite Grace" <ref>Quran 62:4</ref> and "He bestows this grace upon whomsoever He wills (or desires)."<ref>Source: Quran 57:29</ref> Grace is something attainable by those here on earth from God who meet certain Quranic criteria. For example, they "believe in God and His messengers", and they "race toward forgiveness from their Lord and a Paradise whose width encompasses the heavens and the earth."<ref>see Quran 57:21</ref>
