Reciting the Book of God is one of the most significant undertakings of those who are in search of divine guidance and hence if we do not begin this by Bismi Allāh al-Raḥmān al-Raḥīm, the goal will remain unaccomplished. It is reported from the Prophet (s) that, ‘Every work of significance not started with the bismi Allāh will remain incomplete.’ Imam al-Ṣādiq (as) is reported to have said: ‘No Holy Book ever came down from Heaven except that it began with Bismi Allāh al-Raḥmān al-Raḥīm Ibn Abbas has narrated from the Prophet (s) that, ‘As soon as a teacher tells a child to say Bismi Allāh al-Raḥmān al-Raḥīm and the child says it, Allah records immunity (from fire) for the child, his parents and for the teacher.’ On the excellence and importance of the basmalah ( Bismi Allāh al-Raḥmān al-Raḥīm) it is narrated from Imam Ali ibn Mūsā al-Ridha (as) who said, ‘ Bismi Allāh al-Raḥmān al-Raḥīm is closer to the Greatest Name of Allah ( al-ism al-a‘ẓam) than the pupil is to the white of the eye.’ In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful.Īll chapters of the Holy Qur’ān, except for Chapter Nine (Surah al-Tauba), begin with the basmalah.
