The Main Theme(s)
This is the opening Surah of the Quran its theme is Tauheed or absolute oneness
of Allah, and man's relationship with Allah It tells us that Allah alone deserves
worship because He has power to ensuresustenance of all, extend mercy to all anddispense ultimate justice
We need to seek His guidance in order to
earn His favour and avoid the ill fate ofmisguided communities This guidance is contained in the Quran
and the Prophet's Sunnah.

The Presentation of the Theme. The focal point of the Surah is the guidance in the
light of which man can guarantee success for himself
in this world and the Hereafter This guarantee lies in treading the path of
righteousness designed and shown by Allah ascontained in the Quran and the Sunnah of the HolyProphet
This path has been given the name in 3:103 as theRope of Allah that ensures collective survival of thebelievers
The Surah also stresses on seeking Allah's help andcompassion in all affairs of life because Allah alone is
the source of help He maintains all forms of life including those that are
beyond our imagination The last two Surahs of the Quran (al-Muawwazatain)
provide similar guarantee by asking the believers to
seek Allah's refuge against all evils.

The Presentation of the Theme.
Man needs to acknowledge bounties of Allah byway of expressing gratitude to Him and bybowing down before Him
The whole mankind, the heavens and the earthwith their respective roles of serving mankind arethe greatest signs of Allah's creative power andHis relation with His creatures
Now it is man's duty to identify his Lord byworshipping none but Him, by praising Himthrough regular prayers and by obeying the rulesof conduct determined by Him
This is the greatest benefit of belief in Tawhid -developing Taqwa or piety and refuting shirk
Surah ar-Rahman repeatedly asks mankind toacknowledge the countless blessings of Allah.

Islam
