    Dear All,

    I created this post here because it seems urgent and important to understand that Al-rahman IS NOT "Almighty" as suggested by the translation of "The Monotheist Group (The Quran A Monotheist Translation)". I'm going to be "brief" as Ervin suggests here https//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=9610978.10.

    Point 1
    "l-raḥmāni l-raḥīmi" is a couple that forms two sides of the same coin

    1. the coin (etymology) = RAHM means matrix (symbolize by the protective female belly giving life). It represents a matrix, quintessential LOVE (origin of everything).
      WE are an actualization of divine love. What a beautiful image..We must not break this image.

    2. first side of the same coin (morphology) = "l-raḥmāni" the culmination of this STATE of matrix and quintessential love.

    3. second side of the same coin (morphology) = l-raḥīmi the culmination of ACTION (inexhaustible provider of matrix love).

    Point 2
    I refer you to my post on the structural composition of Sura "Al-Fatiha" where the love-power balance is found.

    Point 3
    the Arabic word "ʿadhābun" as often translate as "a punishment, torment .." originally comes from the notion of "deprivation of gentleness / smoothness / tenderness". or in other words "to be PRIVATE of RAHM".
    This deprivation comes from our choice, from our actions.
    We can ONLY bow down to this transcendent being who gives himself to be known AS "Al-rahman", and fear being deprived by our acts of this unconditional and absolute love.

    NB short digression historically, and the Quran bears witness to this, some Arabs (especially Arabs from the south of the peninsula) use Al-Rahman as proper name instead of Allah.

    Peace.
