Surah Rahman

Try to appreciate the Quran from a literary perspective. Surah Rahman is a powerful and beautiful Surah.

Allah begins the surah by saying one of his attributes – Ar Rahman – comes from the root of the word Rahmah (Rahm – the womb of the mother) implies sustenance, tenderness, kindness, generosity, safety… without earning this mercy or blessing. Much like a baby in the womb of the mother.

Allah mentions this because throughout the Surah Allah mentions all the blessings bestowed on mankind and also of those that are to come.

In this Surah, Rahmah is of two types:
Gratuitous – without being earned

Deserved – which has been earned

Second part of the Surah – Those who have feared Allah will have two paradises – Are they not worthy of it? Yes, they did something to deserve it.

The Quran is the greatest mercy of Allah! Allah taught the Quran

“Quran is a cure and a mercy for the believers”
Khalaqal Insan – Allah created the human being

Mentions teaching Quran first because the plan is made first before the structure is built. Quran is the framework and creating man from that plan. Quran is the blueprint of a human’s life. Because Logically this is how it’s supposed to be, the word of Allah is perfect!

The teachings of the Quran make us human beings. For those who don’t follow Quran don’t comprehend despite the blessings of their faculties.

In Arabic sometimes certain verbs require an object.
Allama – to teach – needs two objects… who and what?
What – Quran
Who – not stated in the verse
Left open for general meaning – Rasul? Humanity…. It’s for everyone.
Surah before Surah Rahman challenges the people to memorize and understand! It is easy for anyone!

Bayaan – clear speech – art of expression. Speaking, gesturing, writing
Why does Allah mention this ability of ‘Bayaan’?
General benefit – differentiates the human being from every other creation
Specific benefit – Teach the Quran to others.
The Quran is guaranteed to be preserved.

Which of the favours of your Lord will you deny – repeated 31 times.
From ayah 31 to 45 Allah speaks about being held accountable. Punishment. The phrase (which of the favours…) repeated 7 times… 7 gates to the fire of hell
From ayah 46 – 61 Allah mentions a higher level of Jannah for those who are fearful of Allah. The phrase (which of the favours…) repeated 8 times… 8 gates to Jannah.
