Rahman Vs. Rahim

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim

Rahman refers to Allah's mercy on everyone. He is merciful to everyone, Muslims and Non-Muslims in this world. That's why we see non Muslims too living their lives, eating, drinking; all provided to them by the mercy of Allah.

Raheem refers to Allah's mercy to Mu'minin /believers only. This is applicable here in this world and more importantly on the Day of Judgement, when Allah will be merciful to only the Muminin; non-Muslims will be be punished for their disbelief.
