Some believe that the Quran, as the most important text of Islam, is a book based on violence and power, and on the other hand, some believe that the Holy Book is completely based on mercy. This is despite the fact that such a judgment must be based on paying attention to all the verses of the Qur'an and its quantitative analysis, otherwise the judgment in this case and similar cases cannot provide a comprehensive picture of the situation of violence and mercy in the Qur'an. For this reason, in this research, in the first step, an attempt was made to introduce a comprehensive and holistic method to evaluate the amount of mercy and violence in Quranic verses and phrases. In the next step, a complete review of the verses of the Qur'an has been done with the introduction of valid criteria for the intensity of all types of violence and mercy. The results of this research show that out of the total of 6236 verses of the Quran, 4294 verses are related to mercy and violence, of which 2154 verses are related to mercy and 1980 verses are related to violence. In 160 verses, mercy and violence are used with the same weight; These results, which were obtained quantitatively and by reading all the verses of the Holy Qur'an, are considered a criticism of the views that consider the Qur'an as a text dominated by violence and power. It can also become the basis for the merciful and gentle recitation of the Holy Quran more than in the past.
