Surah Rahman begins with a unique ayah, the likes of which is found nowhere else in the Quran - the entire verse consists of one of the names of Allah! And of all names, which one in particular? Al-Rahman - The Most Merciful. Then what is the next ayah? "[He] taught the Quran." A gem of a reflection to take away from this is that the more we connect with the Quran, the more compassionate and merciful we should become. This is why the Prophet said the best among you are those who learn the Quran and teach it - because these are supposed to be people of mercy.
