Bilal Philips – Quranic Reflections #01

			Salam Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
		

			My dear brothers and sisters,
		

			this is the first verse of our series on Quranic reflections.
		

			And this first verse
		

			is found in Surah Fatiha
		

			the very first chapter of the Quran, but
		

			in our most Huff's our copies of the Quran, we have
		

			as the first verse of every Surah, the best mother except for surah.
		

			October, the ninth
		

			however, the fact of the matter is, though we're used to seeing it this way.
		

			The best mela is not actually the first verse of Surah Al Fatiha
		

			and the greatest scholars
		

			held that the best Mullah was really there for baraka
		

			for blessing
		

			based on the fact that the Prophet sallahu wa sallam used to begin so many things in his daily life,
with the best mela
		

			so many doors that we have learned, begin with Bismillah Bismillah
		

			R Rahman Rahim
		

			etc. So this Bismillahi Rahmani Raheem,
		

			in the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Most Merciful, all together in Arabic, they call it the
best manner
		

			and it is
		

			a dedication,
		

			a dedication of whatever we're doing to Allah subhanho wa Taala reflection point.
		

			Number one
		

			is that we should dedicate everything to Allah from the bus mela
		

			saying Bismillahi Rahmani Raheem. We should dedicate everything to Allah.
		

			As Allah said, called, say, in Salah T indeed, my prayers were no Suki and my sacrifices. Well, my
hiya my living warm Amati and my death Lillahi Rabbil Alameen are all for Allah the Lord of All the
Worlds
		

			Point number two
		

			is that the prophets are Salah Matt said
		

			there is no wudu for one who doesn't begin it with the best mela
		

			most of us don't know it.
		

			Most of us never heard that it's authentically reported the process elements said that as there is
no Salah without will do there is no will do without the masala
		

			but of course scholars have explained this to mean not that you get zero your will do is negated
canceled etc. No, but that your will do is not complete.
		

			The full blessing from the will do has been reduced.
		

			So we should remember
		

			to say the best Mullah before
		

			our will do every time
		

			reflecting on the meaning obviously of
		

			Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim.
		

			Point number three
		

			is this using of the bass Mala?
		

			Before
		

			getting into areas where we have doubts, we are not sure of where we're headed.
		

			So using the best Malla will help to make our heads straight.
		

			It's clear before us if we can't say Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim before clicking the browser getting
in. Then we know we shouldn't be.
		

			Don't open the computer
		

			until you can say Bismillah
		

			And go ahead and go where you're going. So this is a means of protecting yourself, keeping away evil
from yourself because as a Muslim, I'm sure you would be very shy to
		

			say Bismillah R Rahman Rahim and eat pork
		

			or say Bismillah R Rahman Rahim before drinking a glass of alcohol because we have Muslims doing
that.
		

			But even those Muslims who do those things, they will never say Bismillah and go and do it. So it
has a power
		

			for those of us who know it has a power
		

			so we can use it to our benefit.
		

			We only say Bismillah before what is good.
