\viewkind4\uc1\pard\ltrpar\fi720\sl276\slmult1\lang1033\f0\fs28 Allah is a manifestation that includes all manifestations. Allah's names, al-Rahman (the Compassionate) and al-Rahim (the Merciful) are the manifestations of this manifestation.
\par Because of his mercy and benevolence, Allah has bestowed existence in all existing things. This in itself is a display of mercy and kindness. Even the existence conferred on harmful and obnoxious things is a sign of His favor, which is common to all existing things. It is the manifestation of the glory of His name, Allah, which is a true manifestation of His glory in every sense.
\par Allah is a station. It is a comprehensive name, which is itself a manifestation or Divine glory in every sense. Otherwise, the Divine Being has no name apart from His Essence or Person. His names, including Allah, al-Rahman, and al-Rahim, are only the manifestations of his glory. In the formula of 'basmala' His names al-Rahman and al-Rahim have been added to His comprehensive name Allah because they signify His self-sustaining attributes of mercy, favor and compassion. His attributes of retribution, anger, etc., are subservient to these attributes. The praise of any kind of excellence is actually the praise of Allah. When a man eats something and says how delicious it is, he unconsciously praises Allah. When a man says that another man is a very good person or that he is a great scholar or philosopher, he is in fact praising Allah because a philosopher or a scholar has nothing of his own. Whatever there is and whatever exists is a manifestation of Allah's glory. The man who understands this fact, he and his intellect are manifestations of Allah's glory as well.
