I don't understand. Allah says he/she is the most merciful period but he rarely shows it. Can you show me his mercy? I am not asking about the purpose of life or how it should be.

In Quran, God already answer that..
(Surat Al-`Ankabūt 29:2-3)

Do the people think that they will be left to say, "We believe" and they will not be tried?
But We have certainly tried those before them, and Allah will surely make evident those who are truthful, and He will surely make evident the liars.

I found Q&A answering your question. Somebody asking similar question like you. Please watch this. This wil answer
1) purpose of creation
2) why we been tested

I am not asking about the purpose of life. I am asking why Allah calls himself the most merciful. A grand gesture of mercy would've been not creating the world we live in at all. But Allah did create this merciless world. The purpose you guys are talking about makes the matter even worse. It also leads to another question: Why did Allah need to create and test his creatures?
