Bismillah – In the name of Allah (God). Before doing just about any action, including things as essential as eating and drinking, Muslims say Bismillah. Bismillah is also the first word when we start to read the Quran. Bismillah-ir-Rahmaan-ir-Raheem (also referred to as ‘the Basmalah’) is the starting point for all chapters in the Quran besides one, i.e., Surah at-Tawbah. Every good action or deed should begin with us saying Bismillah. Saying Bismillah has a practical meaning. We do not merely utter it as a ritual. It means that we are starting the action of seeking Allah’s help and blessings. Therefore, it is one of the most oft-repeated phrases amongst Muslims. According to Musnad Ahmad, the Prophet (PBUH) that all-important speech or action that commences without remembering Allah is maimed.
