Ar-Rahman

The Most Merciful, The Beneficent

Ar-Rahman (ٱلْرَّحْمَـانُ) is one of Allah’s most beautiful names, meaning The Most Merciful and The Beneficent.

His mercy is vast, all-encompassing, and reaches every part of creation—believers and non-believers, the obedient and the rebellious, all are touched by His kindness.

His mercy is limitless—touching every creature, every moment, without discrimination.

“My mercy encompasses all things.”

Qur’an 7:156

We begin almost every Surah with:
Bismillah Hir-Rahman Nir-Raheem – a constant reminder that Allah’s mercy is the foundation of our existence.

📖 From Qur’an & Hadith

• Qur’an 17:110: “Call upon Allah or call upon the Most Merciful. Whichever [name] you call – to Him belong the best names.”
