Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: ((The Most Merciful, the Bestower of Mercy))

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Most Merciful, the Bestower of Mercyالرحمن الرحيم
The Most Mercifulالرحمن
is an attribute of the Glorious Name, and
the Bestower of Mercyالرحيم
is another attribute.
The Most Mercifulالرحمن
is the One of the vast mercy, and
the Bestower of Mercyالرحيم
is the One of the encompassing mercy.
so the Most Mercifulفالرحمن
is His description and
the Bestower of Mercyالرحيم
is His action. Had
the Bestower of Mercyالرحيم
alone or
The Most Mercifulالرحمن
alone been mentioned, it would have included both the description and the action, but when they are paired together,
The Most Mercifulالرحمن
is interpreted as the description and
the Bestower of Mercyالرحيم
as the action.
The Most Merciful, the Bestower of Mercyالرحمن الرحيم
. The mention of
The Most Merciful, the Bestower of Mercyالرحمن الرحيم
after the mention of Lordship is evidence that His Lordship, Exalted is He, is based on mercy; the mercy for creation, the vast and encompassing mercy.
