Stopping requires two decisions: Is this a sound place to pause in terms of meaning? And how will the final word change in pronunciation?
رَحْمَةٌ — tāʾ marbūṭah is normally pronounced as hāʾ at a stop.
كِتَابٍ — tanwīn of kasrah falls at an ordinary stop and the last consonant becomes sākin.
عَلِيمًا — the common accusative tanwīn form is replaced by an alif sound at a stop.
These describe pronunciation, not permission to pause where the sense would be distorted. If breath forces a poor stop, resume from a suitable earlier point.
