Which name of Allah means ‘The Most Merciful’ and is recited at the beginning of nearly every Surah?

Explanation

– Ar-Rahman, meaning ‘The Most Merciful’ or ‘The Most Compassionate,’ is one of the primary names of Allah, appearing at the start of nearly every Surah in the phrase Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Raheem.
– This name reflects Allah’s all-encompassing mercy, extended universally to all of creation, believers and non-believers alike, in this worldly life.
– For exams, note that Ar-Raheem, often paired with Ar-Rahman, refers more specifically to the mercy reserved for believers, particularly in the Hereafter.
