Which surah is called Beauty of the Quran?

Published in Quranic Studies 1 min read

The Surah most often referred to as the "Beauty of the Quran" is Surah Ar-Rahman.

Surah Ar-Rahman (Surah #55) is highly regarded within Islamic tradition, and its rhythmic prose and powerful imagery contribute to its description as the "Beauty of the Quran" (also sometimes called Aroos-ul-Quran which translates to 'the Bride of the Quran'). The surah emphasizes the blessings and bounties of Allah, repeatedly asking the rhetorical question: "Then which of the favors of your Lord will you deny?" This repetition serves as a constant reminder of Allah's benevolence and provokes contemplation and gratitude in the reader or listener.

The Surah details:

  • Allah's Creation: Highlights Allah's power demonstrated through creation.
  • Bounties & Blessings: Describes numerous blessings bestowed upon humankind.
  • Paradise: Offers vivid descriptions of Paradise and its rewards.
  • Warning: Serves as a reminder of accountability.

The structure and content of Surah Ar-Rahman lend to its special status and beauty.
