Quran is so concise but in Surah Rahman a single ayah repeated 31 times
We know Quran is a concise book, not a single word there is without reason. Every single word is decorated and managed like a pearl in necklace, and not a single word wasted but when you see the **Surah Rahman** a single ayah "Fabe-aiye alae ..." repeated 31 times.

What is the meaning of "by authority" in Surah Ar-Rahman ayat 33?
What exactly is the meaning of the word **bisultan بسلطان** in [Surah Ar-Rahman ayat 33](http://quran.com/55/33): **Sahih International**: >O company of jinn and mankind, if you are able to pass beyond the regions of the heavens and the earth, then pass.

What exactly is the meaning of the word **bisultan بسلطان** in [Surah Ar-Rahman ayat 33](http://quran.com/55/33) : **Sahih International**: >O company of jinn and mankind, if you are able to pass beyond the regions of the heavens and the earth, then pass. You will not pass except **by authority** (*bisultan*) [from Allah ]. According to this ayah/verse, we cannot pass the galaxy or heavens except from the authority of Allah. However, nowadays NASA has the technology to go even to Mars; in the future humans may well have technology that can go to another galaxy. Does "You will not pass except by authority" mean that humans cannot pass and go to another galaxy without the permission of Allah? Could someone please explain the meaning of this phrase to me?

The first four verses of surat Ar-Rahman
Surat Ar-Rahman begins this way: > :In the name of the most merciful & gracious God: > >:The most merciful::Taught the Quran::Created the human::Taught him > eloquence: But "Taught the Quran" to whom? Did God mean teaching it to humans? If yes, why it was mentioned before mentioning the creation of...
Surat Ar-Rahman begins this way: > :In the name of the most merciful & gracious God: > >:The most merciful::Taught the Quran::Created the human::Taught him > eloquence: But "Taught the Quran" to whom? Did God mean teaching it to humans? If yes, why it was mentioned before mentioning the creation of the humans and teaching them eloquence? This sequence seems strange. If no, then he meant teaching it to whom?
