Kapanlagi.com - In Islam, we are familiar with the term asmaul husna to refer to the obligatory attributes of Allah. Every Muslim must know the obligatory attributes of Allah. Because by doing so, we can always be motivated to continue to believe and be pious to Allah. Among the many names of Allah, Ar Rahim is one of them. So, what is the meaning of Ar Rahim?

As one of the names of Allah, Ar Rahim certainly has a very noble meaning. Even in the holy book of the Quran, the word Ar Rahim is mentioned repeatedly. In addition, the attribute of Ar Rahim also appears in the recitation of Basmallah which Muslims recite as a prayer when starting something. Therefore, it is very important to know the meaning of Ar Rahim and its significance.

Summarized from various sources, here is a discussion of the meaning of Ar Rahim that Muslims need to know.

1. Meaning of Ar Rahim

The general meaning of Ar Rahim in the Indonesian language is the Most Merciful. With this attribute, Allah SWT shows love to all His servants, especially those who believe in Him. This is shown through the abundance of blessings, sustenance, grace, and guidance that Allah SWT bestows upon His surrendered servants.

As one of Allah SWT's attributes, Ar Rahim is often paired with Ar Rahman, as in the recitation of Basmallah. Both have high and noble meanings. Although they sound similar, there are differences in the meanings of Ar Rahim and Ar Rahman.

This is based on the meaning of Ar Rahman itself, which is Allah SWT as the Most Giving. So, if interpreted literally, Allah SWT becomes the Lord who provides all sustenance to every creature. However, specifically, Allah SWT will give special mercy to the believing Muslims in the hereafter.

2. Verses of the Quran that Explain Allah SWT's Attribute of Ar Rahim

The attribute of Allah SWT as a God who possesses the attribute of Ar Rahim or the Most Merciful is beyond doubt. And as mentioned earlier, the attribute of Allah SWT as the Most Merciful has been mentioned and explained repeatedly in the Quran. Here are some verses of the Quran that explain the meaning of Ar Rahim that Allah SWT possesses.

1) Surah Al-A'raaf verse 151, which means:

"He (Moses) prayed, 'O my Lord, forgive me and my brother and admit us into Your mercy, for You are the Most Merciful of all those who show mercy.'" (Quran, Al-A'raaf:15)

2) Surah Yusuf verse 64, which means:

He (Jacob) said, 'How can I trust you with him (Benjamin), when I have already entrusted his brother (Joseph) to you before?' But Allah is the best guardian, and He is the Most Merciful of all those who show mercy."

3) Surah Mu'minun verse 109, which means:

"Indeed, there is a group of My servants who pray, 'O our Lord, we have believed, so forgive us and have mercy on us, for You are the best of those who show mercy.'"

4) Surah Al Kahf verse 58, which means:

"And your Lord is the Forgiving, full of mercy. If He were to impose blame upon them for what they earned, He would have hastened for them the punishment."
