In the name of Allah…

'Bismillah-ir-Rahman-ir-Rahim” (English translation: “In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful”) is neither a mere collection of words nor a sentence but it is the first thing a Muslim child learns and in everyday affairs “Bismillah” is the first word a Muslim utters. Except one, 'Bismillah…Rahim' heads every Surah (chapter) in the Holy Quran and these words which contain two attributes of Allah, Rahman and Rahim, give expression to divine love and mercy.
It is the duty of a Muslim to maintain the sanctity of “Bismillah-ir-Rahman-ir-Rahim”.
