What does it mean that the very first way Allah introduces Himself to you is through mercy? We begin almost every action with “Bismillah Ar-Rahman Ar-Raheem,” but what does it truly mean to say, “In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful”?

From the womb you were formed in, to every act of kindness you’ve ever received, none of it was random. It’s all part of a mercy that surrounds you before you even realize it. One drop sustains this world and 99 are still waiting.

In this episode, Dr. Omar Suleiman reflects on the Names Ar-Rahman, Ar-Raheem, and Ar-Ra’uf, and how Allah’s mercy shapes creation, guides justice, comforts believers, and calls every heart back to Him.
