THE LAST HOUR draws near, and the moon is split asunder! (1)ДЎ - Most of the commentators see in this verse a reference to a phenomenon said to have been witnessed by several of the ProphetвЂ™s contemporaries.

The best and simplest of these explanations is undoubtedly the one advanced by Ibn al-Qayyim (as quoted in Mandr I, 48): the term rahman circumscribes the quality of abounding grace inherent in, and inseparable from, the concept of God's Being, whereas rahrm expresses the manifestation of that grace in, and its effect upon, His creation-in other words, an aspect of His activity.ДЄS RAZI points out, the first verse of this surah appears almost like a continuation of the last verses of the preceding one, especially 53: 57 - вЂњthat which is so near draws ever nearerвЂќ -: and so we may assume that both were revealed at approximately the same time, i.e., towards the end of the early part (perhaps the fourth year) of MuhammadвЂ™s prophethood. From the very earliest times, Islamic scholars have endeavoured to define the exact shades of meaning which differentiate the two terms. Both the divine epithets rahman and rahrm are derived from the noun rahmah, which signifies 'mercy', 'compassion', 'loving tenderness' and, more comprehensively, 'grace'. In all other instances, the invocation 'in the name of God' precedes the surah as such, and is not counted among its verses. In the name of god, the most gracious, The dispenser of grace: (1)ДЎ - According to most of the authorities, this invocation (which occurs at the beginning of every surah with the exception of surah 9) constitutes an integral part of 'The Opening' and is, therefore, numbered as verse I.
