Meaning of Ar-Rahman
- Ar-Rahman signifies Allah's mercy as extreme, temporary, and immediate.
- It describes mercy that manifests strongly and currently in this life.
Meaning of Ar-Rahim
- Ar-Rahim reflects Allah's mercy as constant and potentially dormant.
- It is a steady quality that always exists, even if not actively manifesting at the moment.

- When people need help, they seek immediate mercy, not just the promise of it.
- For example, if you're extremely hungry, you want food now, not plans for tomorrow.
