Surah ar-Rahman is a surah found in the Quran and is the 55th surah (chapter). It is a Makkiyah surah, which means it was revealed in Makkah before the Prophet Muhammad (may God bless him and grant him peace) migrated to Madinah.
Surah ar-Rahman has 78 verses and is one of the most beautiful surahs full of God's majesty. The surah begins by mentioning the name of God, indicating that all praise is due to Him.
The content of Surah ar-Rahman talks a lot about the favors that God has bestowed upon mankind. The verses remind people of how great and vast God's bounties are, such as creating the heavens and the earth, the sun and the moon, the stars, the seas, plants, animals and various other types of sustenance.
Surah ar-Rahman (Quran chapter 55) also reminds people of the importance of being grateful for these favors. The verses emphasize that everything in this world is His creation solely for the benefit of man.
The surah also highlights the afterlife as the place of retribution for man's good or bad deeds while living in the world. The verses describe the punishment of the disbelievers and the reward of the believers.
