Arabic vocabulary
How to say “the Most Merciful” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
وَلَكِنْ إِئْتُوا إِبْرَاهِيمَ خَلِيلَ الرَّحْمَنِ
But go to Abraham, the Friend of the Most Merciful.
الرَّحْمَنِ — the Most Merciful. A divine epithet with 'the', sitting in the 'of' form as the tail of the pairing with the title before it, together 'the close friend of the Most Merciful'. It supplies definiteness to the phrase. The two nouns sit side by side to build the 'of' link, with no separate word between them.
