Commentary on 1:7
La via di coloro, tra i tuoi sudditi, che hai colmato di grazie, indicando loro la retta via; come i profeti, i devoti, i martiri e i giusti: Loro sono l''eccellesa compagnia. Non la via di coloro che sono incorsi nella Tua ira, coloro che hanno conosciuto la verità ma non l’hanno seguita, come gli Ebrei. E non la via di coloro che sono sviati dalla verità, coloro che non vi sono stati guidati, per la loro noncuranza nelc cercarla, come i Nazareni.

1:1
بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ ١
In the name of Allāh,1 the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.2
2 translator’s notes
Allāh is a proper name belonging only to the one Almighty God, Creator and Sustainer of the heavens and the earth and all that is within them, the Eternal and Absolute, to whom alone all worship is due.
[3] Ar-Raḥmān and ar-Raḥeem are two names of Allāh derived from the word "raḥmah" (mercy) . In Arabic grammar both are intensive forms of "merciful" (i.e., extremely merciful) . A complimentary and comprehensive meaning is intended by using both together. Raḥmān is used only to describe Allāh, while raḥeem might be used to describe a person as well. The Prophet (ﷺ) was described in the Qur’ān as raḥeem. Raḥmān is above the human level (i.e., intensely merciful) . Since one usually understands intensity to be something of short duration, Allāh describes Himself also as raḥeem (i.e., continually merciful) . Raḥmān also carries a wider meaning - merciful to all creation. Justice is a part of this mercy. Raḥeem includes the concept of speciality - especially and specifically merciful to the believers. Forgiveness is a part of this mercy. In addition, Raḥmān is adjectival, referring to an attribute of Allāh and is part of His essence. Raḥeem is verbal, indicating what He does: i.e., bestowing and implementing mercy.
