Shaykh Yasir Qadhi attempts to extract the right meanings of the names of Allah - Ar-Rahman, Ar-Raheem, Khayrar-Rahimeen, Arhamur-Rahimeen and Dhur-Rahma.
Ar-Rahman and Ar Raheem are those name of Allah that resonate with a profound status,both linked, and are the only two names that are the first verses in the Surahs in the Qur'an.
The Prophet ﷺ says, 'The most beloved names to Allah are Abdullah and Abd-ArRahman.’
Ar-Rahman is mentioned 57 times in the Qur'an. When Allah mentions the largest creation, His Throne (Arsh), He uses Ar-Rahman 7 times. How do Ar Rahman and Ar Raheem differ from one another? Shaykh Yasir Qadhi answers.
The Prophet ﷺ said, "When Allah created the creation, He divided his mercy into 100 parts. 1 has been revealed to this world and because of it people are merciful to each other. He has saved 99 parts of His Mercy and it will be used on the Day of Judgment."
