History shows that when people refuse to learn, they are eventually made to learn. Nations denied revelation, mocked their messengers and hardened their hearts and they were taught through loss, collapse and consequence. That pattern is not hidden in the Quran. It is repeated so that no generation can claim ignorance. Then Surah Ar-Rahman begins, and it does not begin with warning. It begins with a Name.
الرَّحْمَٰنُ عَلَّمَ ٱلْقُرْءَانَ
The Most Compassionate taught the Quran.
That opening forces a question. If Allah has corrected past nations through hardship, if He has shaken civilizations awake before, then why does this surah begin with mercy? Why does it begin with teaching instead of punishment?
Ustadh explores that shift in the Surah Ar-Rahman series. He shows how the placement of Surah Ar-Rahman matters, how its tone is deliberate and how being taught by Ar-Rahman before being held accountable is itself a form of divine compassion.
