Grace
Rahmat (God’s mercy/compassion, a core Islamic attribute of Allah) and pahala (merit earned through good deeds, weighed at judgment) both describe favor bound up with human deeds or divine disposition rather than an unconditional, unearned gift secured through Christ. Anugerah keeps the specifically Christian sense of a gift given apart from merit.
