ٌِAL RAHMAN
The manifestation of universal mercy of Allah.
The act of creation by an order is followed by complete mercy for the sustenance and maintenance of creation.
The ALL Merciful gives way to a higher ILM- AL ALEEM (the All Know-er العلىم).
From this ocean of ILM , Quran is written all over as a software for this creation.
After all this AL KHALIQ ( creator) , makes INSAAN ( universal soul انسان), which is a combination of forces i.e JINN ( جن )and UNS ( انس ).
From this universal soul a secondary ILM as you define knowledge arises . This all encompassed by AL RAHMAN.

Understand that there are multiple levels of existence and understanding, highest level is that of ism ALLAH and the next level below is AL RAHMAN. From this level, ism, every created things have this property of mercy to a varying degree.
The high throne also belongs to AL RAHNAN:
الرَّحْمَٰنُ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ اسْتَوَىٰ
Humans not only have this property, they can also access it , use it, to manifest but most importantly when you manifest mercy, AL RAHMAN manifest through you.
There are different types of mercy. The orderly manifestation of mercy to all, everything ,all the time directly or indirectly through you is typical of AL RAHMAN. This mercy extends to whole dominion of forces and matter i.e. Jinn and Uns, and both visible and invisible:
عَالِمُ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ هُوَ الرَّحْمَٰنُ الرَّحِيمُ
When a force meet with matter , transformation takes place and a new door of mercy opens.
AL RAHMAN is a vast ocean with waves of kindness bringing forth at every instant new creation and easiness. When AL RAHMAN manifests, it bring forth two names: AL JALAL and AL KARAM. Thus ALRAHMAN not only has kindness or mercy but another aspect of highness, Jalil, manifestation. They both create a balance in creation.
The creation of Allah demands mercy. AL RAHMAN opens the door and make the dua, plea of creation visible in another domain or universe. The plea or dua is rendered JAL i.e. it appear and shines in that domain, then descends, then transformed and made visible in creation i.e. matter. This is KARAM. It is happening all the time since eternity and will continue till the end of days.
IMAN and KUFR in relation to ALRAHMAN
You are ordered to bow to ALLAH or His Ism ALRAHMAN.
اسْجُدُوا لِلرَّحْمَٰنِ
A believer in RAHMAN will extend mercy kindness to each individual, animal, plant, even so called non living matter.
A kafir restrict his mercy as he does not believe in mercy for all. he likes selected mercy. he does not give the same facility, same easiness for all. He divides mercy into different compartments. So when ALLAH says if you cannot obey a single ALLAH ( as one order for all) obey ALRAHMAN, kafir denies this level and does not extend support and kindness to each and every particle.
وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمُ اسْجُدُوا لِلرَّحْمَٰنِ قَالُوا وَمَا الرَّحْمَٰنُ أَنَسْجُدُ لِمَا تَأْمُرُنَا وَزَادَهُمْ نُفُورًا
A believer should extend kindness to all and each of his acts. his words should be kind. his acts should transform harsh conditions into easy ones. When a believer have faith in AL RAHMAN he uses all possible means and things, information, technology for the betterment and easiness of humanity not to create hardship for each other.
