From the teachings of Hazrat Maulana Shah Abdur Raheem Sahab Dard (Rahmatullah Alaih)
Meaning
Ar-Raheem means the Most Merciful, the Ever-Compassionate. Ar-Rahman describes the mercy that embraces all creation in this world; Ar-Raheem describes Allah’s special, lasting mercy for the believers.
Maulana Abdul Majid (Rahmatullah Alaih) quotes the following saying in his Tafseer:
الرحمٰن رحمٰن الدنیا، والرحیم رحیم الآخرۃ
That is, Ar-Rahman is the Merciful One of this world, and Ar-Raheem is the Merciful One of the Hereafter. The Qur’an says:
وَكَانَ بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ رَحِيمًا
“And He is ever Merciful to the believers” (Al-Ahzab 33:43).
Understanding the Name
Both Names come from the same root, r-ḥ-m, and they appear side by side in Bismillah. Scholars explain that Ar-Rahman points to the vastness of Allah’s mercy, while Ar-Raheem points to its continuity: a mercy that never stops, which Allah keeps for those who believe and turn to Him.
A believer who reflects on this Name never loses hope. However many mistakes he has made, the door of Ar-Raheem stays open to him through repentance and faith.
Effects and reflections
This Name manifests itself upon the believers, men and women alike. Its benefits cannot be gained without true faith in Allah.
Treatment (Amal)
Whoever recites “Yā Raḥīm” 269 times after every prayer will be protected from all kinds of suffering, and Allah will make His creatures kind and merciful towards the reciter.
