Verses 31-45 describe the final judgment and the terrible punishment that will be inflicted upon sinners.Verses 1-30 expound upon natural displays of Allah's creative power and mercy in showering those who inhabit the earth with blessings.Thematically, Ar-Rahman can be divided into roughly three units. The final couplet is followed by a blessing of God's name. The most notable structural feature of Ar-Rahman is the refrain "Which, then, of your Lord’s blessings do you both deny?" (or, in Arberry’s rendering, "O which of your Lord's bounties will you and you deny?" ), which is repeated 31 times in the 78 verses.Ĭhapter 55 (Surah Rahman) is composed of 26 couplets, 4 tercets, and an introductory stanza of 13 verses all ending with this refrain. 46-78 The joys of Paradise described Īr-Rahman is composed entirely in saj’, the rhymed, accent-based prose characteristic of early Arabic poetry.
