characteristically the fountain of mercy—mercy

The second grammatical unit [matching a codon
of a protein-coding gene in human genome] of the first sentence
of the Divine Discourse is:
It
is an Adjectival Phrase. It
occurs four times in genitive case in ayahs: (1)01:01(2)01:03(3)27:30(4)41:02=4;
and twice in nominative case:
 in ayahs: (1)2:163(2)59:22=2. All are reproduced
in the end for convenience of study.
Adjectival Phrase, in English grammar,
is defined as: A word
group with an adjective as
its head. This adjective may
be accompanied by
modifiers,
determiners,
and/or qualifiers. Adjective
phrases modify nouns. They
may be attributive (appearing
before the noun) or
predicative
(appearing after a linking verb),
but not all adjectives can be used in both positions"; "The part of speech that modifies a
noun or other substantive by limiting, qualifying, or specifying".
In Arabic, a
true adjective, named: النَّعْتُ الحَقِيقِيّ
is a subordinate word
indicating a meaning in its principle. The important points to
memorize for visual recognition of such phrases:
(a)
In Arabic,
the noun comes first.
The one being described must come first; it is called:
الْمُوصُوفُ
and also الْمَنْعُوتُ: the
one who is described-portrayed
characteristically.
(b)
The adjective follows the Noun.
The
description must come second; it is called:
الصِّفَةُ/adjective.
It indicates a meaning in its principle
without exception, without
restrictions, like that of time or other
restrictions. It functions as qualitative
- characteristic portrayal of the mentioned noun.
Adjective's meaning is not for itself,
rather its meaning is found in the noun
which it modifies. Most often it is a
derivative.
However, when both the
nouns in Adjectival Phrase are indefinite the
benefit of adjective is specification of the
noun.
(c)
The grammatical case of the Noun is determined
by external factors and the case of Adjective
will always match it.
(d)
The Noun and Adjective must
correspond in definiteness.
Both should either be definite or indefinite.
(e)
The Noun
and Adjective must correspond in gender.
Both should either be masculine or feminine.
(f) The Noun
and Adjective must correspond in plurality.
Both should either be singular, dual or
plural.
In this phrase the
principal noun is Proper Name:
which is in
genitive case because it is equivalent appositive to
preceding Proper Noun in genitive case, Allah the
Exalted. The adjective: 
is Intensive Quasi Active
participle: Definite; Masculine; Singular; genitive.
Generally it is referred as:
اسم
المبالغة Hyperbole;
but we find and should remember that Grand
Qur'aan is a statement of Proven Fact which is always void of any
exaggeration in the negative sense/perception of this word in Urdu
and English.
