Why is الرحمن الرحيم repeated in Surah Al Fatihah?

Wisdom of repetition

  • Assuming the basamalah is the 1st verse why repeat the الرحمن الرحيم?
  • The previous verse ends with رب العالمين ‘Lord of the Worlds’
  • This gives a sense of awe and fear.
  • The repetition is to reassure man that the Lord is Merciful.

May Allah guard us all from slipping from the straight path.

  • Surah Al Muddathir Part 8
    بسم الله الحمد لله This week I am trying a new format. I have used a mind-mapping program called Freemind to make some mind maps and then voiced them over. The advantage of this is that you can download the mind maps and add or change them as you wish.  Freemind is an opensource and hence free to use [...]
  • Surah Al Muddathir Part 7
    Bismillah, alhamdulillah: This week covers 2 further verses from Surah Al Muddathir : 30-31. They talk about the 19 angels guarding Hell and how this information affected the Muslims, disbelievers and the Christians and Jews. At the end of the mind map there is a summary of some of the postulated reasons why the number [...]
