Imagine having a difficult task or exam ahead of you and you are unprepared or simply nervous; who do you call or ask for help? None other than The Most Powerful, The Most High, Allah. Imagine, the task gets easy and you get an immense reward and extreme barakah.
There are numerous benefits of saying 'Bismillah.'
And it is the gift of Allah that by using just the word “ism”, it is all of the names of Allah, all of the unique qualities of Allah, all of the beautiful things about Allah that you included just inside the word “ism” whether you thought of all of those names or not. This is the mercy of Allah.
I could not have thought of all of the things that I need from Him because I don’t need one thing; I need too many things; I am in too much need. And so I can’t even think of all of those names.
“Wa lillaahil-asmaaa’ul-husnaa fad’uuhu bihaa.” (QS Al-A’raf verse 180)
He says. For Allah, there are the most beautiful names, call Him by all of those beautiful names. But how many people are going to learn all the names of Allah? Not everybody will know all the names of Allah. But we need all of them. So Allah gave us a gift. When we say, “Bismillaah,” just “bismillaah”.
