Bismillah ir Rahman ir Rahim

Bismillah is an Arabic noun that is used as the collective name for all of the recurring Islamic phrase Ismi br-Rahmani-llah-r Rahimi, “the name of God, Most Merciful.” This phrase is recited before every sura except the ninth sura, in others it is the first verse of 113 surahs / chapters of the Koran, and is used in a number of contexts by Muslims. It is recited several times as part of Muslim daily prayers, and it is usually the first sentence in the preamble to the constitution of the Islamic countries. It is also the beginning of the inscriptions on the tombstones of many dedicated, buildings and works of art, who will appoint the decedent or donor.

The Arabic phrase shown above is pronounced as Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Rahim, and is a beautifully poetic phrase which offers both deep insight and brilliant inspiration. It has often been said that the phrase Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Rahim contains the true essence of the entire Quran and the true essence of all religions.

Muslims often say this phrase when embarking on any major effort, and the sentence is seen by some as a major pillar of Islam. This expression is so magnificent and so concise that all but the first chapter of the Qur’an begins with the words Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Rahim.
