Question:
We return again to questions about the verses. Abu 'Abdullah from Riyadh asks about the saying of Allah the Mighty and Majestic in the noble verse:[Ar-Rahman 55:1-3] What is the intended meaning of that? May Allah bless you.
Answer:
The intended meaning is clear: al-Rahman is one of the names of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. Al-Rahman is a general attribute for all created beings. As for al-Rahim, it is a specific attribute for the believers, as He, Exalted and Majestic is He, said:[Al-Ahzab 33:43] "Taught the Qur'an" means that the Qur'an was taught through His Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). So Jibril (peace be upon him) taught the Qur'an to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) taught the Qur'an to his Ummah. Yes.
