اَلرَّحْمٰن (ar-raḥmānm

  1. God, the Most Merciful (one of the 99 Names of Allah)
    • 609–632 CE, Qur'an, 25:60:
      وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمُ ٱسْجُدُوا لِلرَّحْمَٰنِ قَالُوا وَمَا ٱلرَّحْمَٰنُ أَنَسْجُدُ لِمَا تَأْمُرُنَا وَزَادَهُمْ نُفُورًا
      wa-ʔiḏā qīla lahumu sjudū li-r-raḥmāni qālū wa-mā r-raḥmānu ʔanasjudu limā taʔmurunā wa-zādahum nufūran
      And when it is said to them, “Prostrate to the Most Merciful,” they say, “And what is the Most Merciful? Should we prostrate to that which you order us?” And it increases them in aversion. (Saheeh International)
