Ar-Rahman

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For the Arabic name, see Rahman (name).

Surat ar-Rahman (Arabic: سورة الرحمن) is the 55th sura of the Qur'an with 78 ayat. It has the refrain: "Then which of the favours of your Lord will ye deny?"

Surah Rahman is often regard as the 'beauty of the Quran.'^{[citation needed]}

Definite ar-raḥmānu like Allāh has a long ā that irregularly remains unexpressed in writing, الرحمن, but may be indicated by a diacritic alif. Indefinite raḥmānun on the other hand has an alif, رحمان. It is from the root R-Ḥ-M "to feel sympathy or pity" and as an epithet of God may be translated as "The Beneficent, The Compassionate". It co-occurs with ar-raḥīm in the Basmala: ar-raḥmān, according to Lane, is more intensive, including in its objects the believer and the unbeliever, while 'ar-raḥīm has for its peculiar object the believer.
