verse 1-al fatihah-english

The Prophet remind us in hadith:


كل أمر ذى بال لا يبدأ فيه ببسم الله الرحمن الرحيم فهو أقطع 


such good manner started with no mention of bismillahirrahmanirrahim , that is cut 






one of the most beautiful teaching of Islam can be found in this hadith . The Prophet order us to start any manner with mention the name of Allah. it draw al barakah to come to your side and then make you lucky in your activities.


bismillah --is a part of doa. it make you stand under the mercy and bless of Allah.






both of words ar rahman and arrahim is derived from rahmat-bless, this a pair of name --make sense that all creation are ordered to be bless to others as his creator bless him. when someone mention bismillah in beginning of such manner, he train himself to purify his soul , reject his feeling of arrogant and obey to sutmit himself to the order of Allah. Bismillah is one of highways to go to taqwa.




In feqh side, there are disputes among the scholars either bismillah is a part of al fatiha or not. the authentic view says according to the Hadith soheh,  bismillah is a apart of fatihah.
