Abstract

Surah Ar-Rahman, the 55th chapter of the Qur'an, is renowned for its poetic elegance and the recurrent rhetorical question: "Then which of the favors of your Lord will you deny?" This article explores the pragmatic functions of this repeated question, examining how it emphasizes divine blessings, prompts reflection, and reinforces the surah's central themes.
