Surah al-Fatiha ayah 3

Date: May 25, 2002 | 13 Rabi al-Awwal 1423 Hijriah
Blog: A Quranic Journal
Arabic text of ayah

Ar-Rahman ar-Rahim

The Compassionate, the Merciful

The following are excerpts of commentary on this ayah, based on Tafsir Ibn Kathir and other sources:

These are two descriptions of Allaah the Exalted and two of the Names from amongst His Beautiful Names derived from ar-Rahma (Mercy) in a way to express intense and exaggerated meanings. Ar-Rahmaan is more intense than ar-Raheem because Ar-Rahmaan is the one endowed with Mercy that extends to all of the creations in this world and to the believers in the Hereafter. Ar-Raheem on the other hand is the One endowed with Mercy that extends to only the believers on the Day of Judgement - this being the understanding of the majority of the scholars.
