Example sentence
وَغَشِيَتْهُمْ الرَّحْمَةُ،
and mercy envelops them,
الرَّحْمَةُ mercy
This is the doer of 'envelops,' even though it stands after its verb; the final -u is what flags a word as the subject rather than the object. The 'the' presents it as a known, specific thing — the divine mercy already in view, not mercy in general.

And more merciful than those who command, more knowledgeable than those who have revealed, and more generous than those who guide,
وَأَرْحَمُ and more merciful
This is the bound wa- 'and' plus a superlative, 'and more merciful', continuing the praise of God. The superlative pattern carries 'more/most' inside the word, and the wa- coordinates this attribute with the previous one; it heads a comparison filled in by the following 'than those who'.
