ASLAMUALIKUM WAREHMATAALHI WABARAKATUHU...
Muslims often say this phrase when embarking on any significant endeavor, and the phrase is considered by some to be a major pillar of Islam. This expression is so magnificent and so concise that all but one chapter of the Qur’an begins with the words Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Rahim.
The common translation:
“In the name of God, most Gracious, most Compassionate”.
Sayyidina Ali (ra) was reported to have said that saying Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim is a duaa that helps simplify a hard task and removes grief and brings happiness to the heart.
Aisha (ra) reported: The Prophet said, “When any of you wants to eat, he should mention the Name of Allah in the beginning (Bismillah). If he forgets to do it in the beginning, he should say Bismillah awwalahu wa akhirahu (I begin with the Name of Allah at the beginning and at the end).” — Tirmidhi & Daw’ud
Jabir (ra) reported: I heard the Prophet (pbuh) saying, “if a person mentions the Name of Allah upon entering his house or eating, Satan says, addressing his followers: ‘you will find no where to spend the night and no dinner.’ But if he enters without mentioning the Name of Allah, Satan says to his followers; ‘you have found a place to spend the night in’, and if he does not mention the Name of Allah at the time of eating, Satan says; ‘you have found a place to spend the night in as well as food’”. — Muslim
Umaiyyah bin Makshi (ra) reported: The Prophet (pbuh) was sitting while a man was eating food. That man did not mention the Name of Allah till only a morsel of food was left. When he raised it to his mouth, he said, Bismillah awwalahu wa akhirahu. The Prophet smiled at this and said, “Satan had been eating with him but when he mentioned the Name of Allah, Satan vomited all that was in his stomach.” — Abu Daw’ud & Al-Nasai
Wahshi bin Harb reported: Some of the sahaba of the Prophet (pbuh) said, “We eat but are not satisfied.” He said, “Perhaps you eat separately.” The Sahaba replied in the affirmative. He then said, “Eat together and mention the Name of Allah over your food. It will be blessed for you.” — Abu Dawood
