2.

The Most Merciful

Ar Raheem - الرحيم

"Ar-Raheem" describes Allah's abundant compassion and kindness towards His creation. It's like a caring friend who is always there for you, ready to help and comfort you when you need it most.

When we call Allah "Ar-Raheem," we're acknowledging His endless love and mercy. It reminds us that Allah's compassion is ever-present in our lives, guiding us, protecting us, and showering us with blessings.

So, whenever Muslims say "Ar-Raheem," they're expressing gratitude for Allah's unfailing compassion and seeking His blessings and guidance. It's a comforting reminder of Allah's constant care and love for His creation.

Allah's mercy is intense, powerful and immediate. His extensive mercy encompasses all people and things.

Ponder upon this. A child in the womb of its mother does not know its mother and, thus, does not love its mother. However, the mother already loves the child in her womb. She is already looking after its needs as she is cautious in her movement, careful in every way possible to protect her child and yet, the child is completely unaware of this.

Allah's mercy and care is incomparably greater than this, as some from His creation refuse to acknowledge Him, even outright rejecting Him and yet, he still shows them mercy by giving them life and providing for their needs. The creation of Almighty Allah is constantly showered and enveloped by His intense, immediate mercy.

"...My mercy encompasses everything"
