AR RAHEEM

(The Merciful)

He who acts with extreme kindness

Ar-Rahmaan and Ar-Raheem (Ar- Rahim) are two of the names of Allah which refer to Allah's attribute of being Merciful. Although similarly related the meanings are different. Ar-Rahmaan refers to the vastness of Allah's mercy, and Ar-Raheem refers specifically to His mercy he bestows on His creation.

From the root r-h-m which has the following classical Arabic connotations: to have tenderness, gentleness, kindness to love to have mercy, to have pity to show favor and goodness to have all that is required for beneficence. 

The Prophet said to us, "Do you think this woman could throw her child in the fire?" We said, "No, not if she is able to stop it." The Prophet said, "Allah is more merciful to His servants than a mother is to her child."
