Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim is a powerful and significant phrase in Islam, often recited by Muslims before starting various actions. This simple yet profound expression invites Allah’s mercy, compassion, and blessings into our endeavors, ensuring that our actions are completed with reward and barakah (blessings). Mastering how to say “ Bismillah al - Rahman al - Rahim ” connects tongue, heart, and action. From Qur’anic revelation to the Prophet’s daily habits, the phrase is a perpetual invitation to operate under Allah’s sheltering grace. It is also known from the hadith that the Prophet of Islam, Muhammad, used to say the shorter form, " Bismillah ", before starting any work, such as eating. In many works there are instructions to say or write " Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem ". بِسْمِ ٱللّٰهِ ٱلرَّحْمٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ • (bi-smi llāhi r-raḥmāni r-raḥīmi) "In the name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate"; basmala.
