Some interesting notes: the Merciful, the Compassionate is a translation of two Arabic words for the Merciful: the first is most merciful in the quantative sense, the second in the qualitative sense. Theologically the first has to do with the Mercy sustaining the Creation, the second with the pardoning of sins.

Lord of All Being: there is no copulative in Arabic, the word translated as being here comes from what is before you. It can also be translated as worlds (in Heidegger's sense), or lands or nations as well.

In shorter Surahs, like the first, the Arabic rhymes

Anything you find obscure or confusing, let me know and I will explain it, Inshallah

This week we will finish Surah 2, Inshallah
