Surat al-Rahman

I have observed that in Surah Rahman verse 54 sometimes the text is written as وَجَنَا الْجَنَّتَيْنِ دَانٍۚ and sometimes it is expressed as وَجَنَى ٱلْجَنَّتَيْنِ دَانٍۢ. Is there any significance to this difference?

The right way is to write it as

Surat al-Rahman . Fatimah al-Zahra

What is the relationship between Surah al-Rahman and Sayyeda Fatima al-Zahra?

Authentic Hadeeths from the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) explaining the meanings of Sura Al-Rahman; verses 19 to 22, مَرَجَ البَحرَين يَلتَقِيان (Allah Has created two seas which merge together) stated that the two seas are Ali and Fatima who merged and from them jewels came out who are Hasan and Husain. This Hadeeth has been narrated our authentic books and in Sunni books like:

1. Yanabee' Al-Mawaddah by al-Qondoozi Al-Hanafi from Abi Sa'ee Al-Khudri and Abdullah Ibn Abbas and Anas Ibn Malik.

2. Al-Kashf WAL Bayan by al-Tha'labi from Sufyan al-Thawri.

Surat al-Rahman . Children

May I have some ideas on how to represent verse 6 of Sura Rahman to a child in a creative way?

I one saw someone teaching Surah al-Rahman by associating meaningful signs with each of the verses, so, for instance, in this verse, they pointed to stars and made trees with their hands and fingers. The idea behind this is that the human being will remember gestures and words more than gestures. You could try it!

Surat al-Rahman . Poetry

In Surah al-Rahman, do the repeating verses represent a poetic style over and above their theological meaning?

There is no question of any word in Quran mentioned just for poetic reason. Every word in Quran has its important meaning even if it was repeated in previous verses, but the meaning of it in every verse has its own situation which is different from other verses.

In Sura Al-Rahman, the verse (Fabi'ayyi Alaa'i Rabbikoma Tokaththibaan) فبأي الاء ربكما تكذبان was mentioned thirty one times, but in every time, the meaning of it is related to the immediate verse before it. Allah (SWT) in Sura Al-Rahmaan is mentioning His bounties, then asking Jinns and humans : Which bounty of your Lord you deny? This question is repeated after every bounty because every bounty is different from other bounties.
