رَحْمَة

Raḥma

Raḥma is mercy — the attribute the Qur’an most frequently ascribes to God. Every sura but one opens with the formula bismillāhi ar-raḥmāni ar-raḥīm ("In the name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful"). The Prophet Muhammad is himself described as a mercy to all creation.

From the Qur’an

"And We have not sent you, [O Muhammad], except as a mercy to the worlds."

— Qur’an, Al-Anbiya 21:107

"‘…My mercy encompasses all things.’"

— Qur’an, Al-Aʿraf 7:156
