Rahmah is a Quranic concept

RAHMAH is an Arabic word with a range of meanings depending on context. It is derived from the root word “ra ha mim” (رحم), which appears 339 times in the Quran, in nine derived forms.

Rahmah is generally translated as mercy as in verse 107 of Surah (Chapter) Al-Anbiya which is translated as follows:

“And We have not sent you oh Muhammad except as a mercy to the world (rahmatan lil-‘alamin).”

Rahmatan lil-‘alamin is an overarching concept in the Quran.  In other words, rahmah is a Quranic concept.

It is neither Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s nor Anwar Ibrahim’s, nor anyone else’s, for that matter. – April 26, 2023.

  • It's selfish of political parties in Bolehland to claim this and that except any wrong doing, bad investment or even planning. Why don't those wrong does ownedup their bad ideas or investments? Proton, MAS as the list goes on of failures or bad investments. KTM still in red every year plus those wasted GLC who's only role today is receiving money from the government to stay afloat....why are we not holding these GLC accountable or even shut them down ???? When are we gonna learn? Rahman?
