UfCreations

Rahman and Rahim are two attributes as well as names of Allah Almighty. They are extreme adjectives derived from the same Arabic root "R-h-m". Extreme adjectives are used in the Arabic language to lay emphasis on the excess of an attribute. Both the words are translated as ‘The Most Merciful or The Most Gracious. It is plainly clear through the study of the Quran and Sunnah that Allah Almighty is the Most Merciful in this world, not just for the believers but also for the disbelievers, polytheists, and all living beings. If Allah's mercy and grace were not extended to all creatures, the moon, the sun, the stars, the earth and the sky, the water and the air and other great benefits of the world would have been denied to disbelievers, polytheists, misguided, oppressors, disobedient, and transgressors. This is something that common sense will never hesitate to admit based on its observations and experiences. All of these people, however, are also Allah's creation, and the fact that they are reaping the benefits of the world demonstrates that Allah's mercy is universal, i.e., that this divine mercy extends not just to believers but also to non-believers, polytheists, and disobedient and wrongdoing Muslims.
