He who acts with extreme kindness

The name Ar-Raheem originates from the Arabic root 'R-H-M', which denotes mercy and compassion. It signifies Allah's attribute of bestowing kindness and forgiveness to His creatures, highlighting the importance of mercy in the Islamic faith. Ar-Raheem often appears alongside Ar-Rahman, which also denotes mercy but encompasses a broader, universal aspect, while Ar-Raheem focuses more on a specific, heartfelt mercy towards the believers.
