AR-RAHMAAN
Ar Rahman ,The Most or Entirely Merciful. (The Beneficent)
* Allah is Ar-Rahmaan (in arabic: ٱلْرَّحْمَـانُ). He is the One who blesses all His creation with prosperity and devoid from disparity. He is most merciful, kind, and loving towards all creation. His Rahma is all inclusive and embraces all.
How To make duah when calling upon his name Ar-Rahmaan
* O Allah, Ar-Rahmaan, we know that Your mercy is perfect.
* O Allah , You are Ar Rahman. Let us never despair of Your mercy, guide us to be merciful to others.
* Ya Rahman’o guide us to maintain our family ties, and make us seek Your pleasure.
* Ya Allah! Enable us to reflect on Your mercy around us, adorn us with gratefulness, and enter us into Paradise by Your mercy, ameen!
* He who wills goodness and mercy for all His creatures
* Allah is Ar-Rahmaan (in arabic: ٱلْرَّحْمَـانُ). He is the One who blesses all His creation with prosperity and devoid from disparity. He is most merciful, kind, and loving towards all creation. His Rahma is all inclusive and embraces all.
Arabic Root:
From the root ra-ha-mim (ر ح م), which has the following classical Arabic connotations: to have tenderness, gentleness, kindness, to love, to have mercy, to have pity, to show favor and goodness, to have all that is required for beneficence.
There are 57 mentions of the name Ar-Rahman spanning across 16 different chapters of the Qur’an.
The Names of Mercy:
There are eight names that refer to His mercy and kindness:
1. Ar-Rahman, Ar-Raheem, Ar-Ra’uf, Al-Barr, Al-Wahhab, Al-Ghaffar, Al-Afuww, and At-Tawwab.
2. Each name, although related under the umbrella of mercy, is unique.
We’ll explore each in detail and see the various ways in which Allah’s mercy manifests
* As for the name Ar-Rahman it is reserved for Allah سُبْحَٰنَهُۥ وَتَعَٰلَىٰ alone. It’s a quality that can’t be ascribed to anybody else.
* Ar-Rahman is understood to be all-encompassing mercy, so far-reaching that it touches everything and everyone.
* A kind of mercy that knows no bounds. As a name, it is understood this kind of mercy is reserved only for Allah سُبْحَٰنَهُۥ وَتَعَٰلَىٰ.
Reflection:
�The belief in Allah’s mercy is beneficial to a believer because it causes an individual to reflect on their ability to be merciful themselves and to others.
