This noun is called اسم المبالغة/ Hyperbole: Intensive Quasi Active participle: it indicates excess in the meaning of the verbal noun; it denotes the one that enacts the base meaning exaggeratedly/excessively/intensively. However, we 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.
The difference between Hyperbole [صيغة المبالغة] and Elative Noun [اسم التفضيل] is that in it the meaning is limited to itself without taking others into consideration while in Elative Noun the excess in meaning is in comparison to others.
This noun is derived mostly from Three Letter Primary Verbs and less frequently from derivative verbs. When derived from the Three Letter Primary Verbs, all the patterns are established according to usage [سَمَاعِيُّ].
It stems from Root: ر ح م. It it leads to the perception of gentility, gentleness, tenderness, softness, affection, kindness and mercy, clemency and motherliness.
Related with creation of physical world,
the first trait of:
—
introduced is:
.
Why this choice? Because He the Exalted is Almighty, the Icon of Power
and Might, thereby, the Might to administer the physical realm was
decided to be exercised subject to the mercy overarching all decisions.
It is explicitly disclosed:
You the Messenger [Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam] ask them: "Whoever and whatever exists in the Skies and the Earth; to and for whom they owe existence and subjection?"
You the Messenger [Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam] tell them the answer: "Solely for Allah the Exalted.
He the Exalted has self prescribed the Mercy obligatory upon His Exalted Self." [refer 6:12]
Your Sustainer Lord has, by own will, prescribed the Mercy obligatory upon His Exalted Self. [Refer 6:54]
We have a saying, "Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." When Mercy overarches all decisions and actions, the Absolute Power, almightiness becomes beautiful, balanced, and ever awesome.
The Mercy, one will find, is reflected and manifested everywhere; above all one will find the Umbrella of the Mercy of Allah - Ar'Reh'maan the Exalted. Moreover, it is reflective of the fact that creation is for determined purpose since creating things for playful purposes does not entail that one should prescribe for oneself to be ever merciful.
Ar-Raheem does not mean that He should not punish the criminals. Rewarding the righteous and punishing the criminals is the manifestation of mercy. In fact majority of the traits are but reflection and manifestation of mercy, which Ar'Reh'maan the Exalted imposed upon Himself of His Own choice since might and power cannot be dictated for doing something, before deciding to create. He brought His infinite Power and Might under the Umbrella of Mercy whereby His Absolute Power is also beautiful [proportionately balanced] otherwise might has an element of negativity, generally speaking.
