02. AR RAHEEM

●TRANSLATION:

•The Bestower of Mercy,
•The most Merciful.
•He who acts with extreme Kindness.

●MEANING:

•The One who grants even more grace and greater rewards in response to our good actions and high thoughts.

•The One who greatly rewards those who use the Divine bounties and beneficence in a good way.

•The One who has mercy on the merciful.

■HOW TO LIVE BY THIS NAME?

1. Obey Ar-Raheem, hold onto the Quran.

"And He is Merciful (Raheem) to the believers."
[Quran, 33:43].

•Allah mentions ways for you in the Quran to receive His special mercy as a believer.
He says:

"And obey Allah and His Messenger so that you all may receive Mercy"
[Qur'an, 3:132].

2.Strive for Taqwa.

• Taqwa can be described as consciousness which inspires you to be on guard against wrong action and eager for actions which please Allah and to stay away from those actions which displease and anger him.

3.Pray four units of prayer before 'asr.

•The Prophet salallahu 'alayhi wa sallam said:
"May Allah have mercy on one who prays four raka'aat before the 'asr Prayer"
[At-Tirmidhee].

4.Listen to the Quran attentively.

"And when the Quran is recited, listen to it with attention, that you may receive mercy."
[Quran, 7:204].

5.Turn to Ar-Raheem.

•Whenever Ar-Raheem gives you a trial, know that no one can give you a way out but Him, so turn to Him as soon as hardship hits you.

Ar-Raheem Himself says:

"[O Muhammad], inform My servants that it is I who am the Forgiving, the Merciful."
[Quran, 15:49]

☆EXTRA:

"Ar-Rahmaan" is an Attribute specifically relevant to Allah; none besides Him can be called or referred to as such, whereas "Ar-Raheem" can be applied to people: One may be described as Raheem, merciful or kind, but a human cannot be "Rahmaan".

Ya Rahmaan, Ya Raheem shower your mercy on All of your creations and help us to be merciful with others.

Aameen Aameen Yaa Rabbal Aalameen.

Jazakum Allahu Khairan.

"سُبْحَانَكَ اللْهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ، أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ، أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْكَ"

'Glory be to You O Allah, and with Your praise, I testify that there is no God (worthy of worship) except You, I seek Your forgiveness, and I repent to You.'
