Arabic vocabulary
رَحْم is how you say “merciful” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
فَكَيْفَ يَلِيقُ بِأَحْكَمِ الْحَاكِمِينَ وَأَرْحَمِ الرَّاحِمِينَ وَأَقْدَرِ الْقَادِرِينَ أَنْ يُقِرَّهُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ؟
How then can it befit the Most Wise of the wise, the Most Merciful of the merciful, and the Most Powerful of the powerful to approve him in that?
وَأَرْحَمِ — the Most Merciful. This joins 'and' to a superlative 'most merciful', a second 'of' pair coordinate with the first, genitive in the chain. It continues the list of divine titles whom the wrong could not befit, built as 'the most X of the Ys'.
