Revealed as a majestic exposition of divine grace, Surah Ar-Rahman (The Beneficent) is known as the 'Beauty of the Quran.' It addresses both humans and jinn, detailing the infinite physical and spiritual blessings of God—from the sun, moon, and oceans to the creation of humans. The Surah repeats the rhythmic, powerful question: 'Which of the favors of your Lord will you deny?' It vividly contrasts the terrifying end of the universe with the detailed descriptions of the gardens of Paradise.
