بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
Bismillah ar-rahman ar-rahim: "In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
The significance of Bismillah
Not only does the Holy Quran begin with this verse, but it also heads every chapter of the Quran, except for Chapter 9.
This verse keeps on recurring and possesses such depth that it has been said that just as the Fatihah (the first chapter of the Quran) summarizes the entire Holy Quran so does this verse summarize the Fatihah. In other words this verse is the summary of the summary of the Quran.
This verse is translated as "In (or with) the name of Allah, who is Beneficent and Merciful". Here, the particle "Bi" (meaning in or with) in the word "Bism" represents a call for help. So the verse means:
"With the help of the name of Allah..."
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Any important work that does not begin with Bismillah is devoid of Barakah"
So we begin In The name of Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى
