Reason Allah started the Surah with his Name/Significance of the Surah
Allah SWT started the Surah with his name (‫( )الرحمن‬The Most Merciful)
because he doesn’t want anyone to lose hope for His mercy. He tells us
the gift he has granted to people and His mercy upon them. He
revealed the quran to Muhammed S.A.W and made it easy for us to
understand and memorize. He then demonstrated the good and evil so
we can differntiate between halal and haram.

The question repeated in the Surah:

(So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny?)
We human beings and jinns, what gifts given to you by Allah SWT have
you deny?The answer is: we deny nothing of the gifts of our lord, Praise
be to him
