Surah Rahman PDF - Overview
Surah Rahman – Ar-Rahman (Arabic: الرحمان, ar-raḥmān; meaning: The Merciful) is the 55th Chapter (Surah) of the Qur’an, with 78 verses (āyāt).
The title of the surah, Ar-Rahman, appears in verse 1 and means “The Most Beneficent”. The divine appellation “ar-Rahman” also appears in the opening formula which precedes every surah except Sura 9 (“In the Name of God, the Lord of Mercy, the Giver of Mercy”). English translations of the surah’s title include “The Most Gracious”, “The All Merciful”, “The Lord of Mercy”, “The Beneficent”, and “The Mercy-Giving”.
There is disagreement over whether Ar-Rahman ought to be categorized as a surah of the Meccan or Medinan period. Theodor Nöldeke and Carl Ernst have categorized it among the surahs of the early Meccan period (in accordance with its short ayah length), but Abdel Haleem has categorized it in his translation as Medinan, although most Muslim scholars place Sūrat ar-Rahman in the Meccan period.
