  Praise be to Allah, who gives respite and does not fear what is missed,

  الَّذِي — the one who. This is a relative pronoun, 'who / the one who', opening a clause that describes Allah and ties back to the name just stated. Arabic uses it to hang a whole describing sentence onto a definite noun, so what follows is the description, not a fresh statement.

  Who said to the universe, "Be," and it came into existence,

  الَّذِي — the one who. This is a relative pronoun, 'who / the one who', opening a further clause about Allah and tying back to the name. Arabic attaches a whole describing sentence to a definite noun with this word, so everything after it continues the description.
