Salam Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

00:00:09--> 00:00:11

My dear brothers and sisters,

00:00:12--> 00:00:19

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

00:00:21--> 00:00:24

And this first verse

00:00:26--> 00:00:31

is found in Surah Fatiha

00:00:33--> 00:00:37

the very first chapter of the Quran, but

00:00:38--> 00:00:44

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

00:00:46--> 00:00:53

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

00:00:55--> 00:00:57

October, the ninth

00:00:59--> 00:01:05

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

00:01:07--> 00:01:14

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

00:01:15--> 00:01:17

and the greatest scholars

00:01:19--> 00:01:23

held that the best Mullah was really there for baraka

00:01:26--> 00:01:27

for blessing

00:01:29--> 00:01:39

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

00:01:40--> 00:01:46

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

00:01:47--> 00:01:48

R Rahman Rahim

00:01:50--> 00:01:54

etc. So this Bismillahi Rahmani Raheem,

00:01:56--> 00:02:02

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

00:02:05--> 00:02:07

and it is

00:02:08--> 00:02:10

a dedication,

00:02:12--> 00:02:19

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

00:02:20--> 00:02:21

Number one

00:02:22--> 00:02:29

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

00:02:31--> 00:02:36

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

00:02:37--> 00:03:00

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

00:03:01--> 00:03:02

Point number two

00:03:03--> 00:03:06

is that the prophets are Salah Matt said

00:03:07--> 00:03:14

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

00:03:15--> 00:03:17

most of us don't know it.

00:03:18--> 00:03:31

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

00:03:32--> 00:03:45

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.

00:03:47--> 00:03:51

The full blessing from the will do has been reduced.

00:03:52--> 00:03:54

So we should remember

00:03:55--> 00:03:58

to say the best Mullah before

00:04:00--> 00:04:01

our will do every time

00:04:03--> 00:04:06

reflecting on the meaning obviously of

00:04:07--> 00:04:09

Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim.

00:04:11--> 00:04:12

Point number three

00:04:13--> 00:04:16

is this using of the bass Mala?

00:04:17--> 00:04:19

Before

00:04:20--> 00:04:27

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

00:04:29--> 00:04:38

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

00:04:39--> 00:04:53

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.

00:04:54--> 00:04:56

Don't open the computer

00:04:57--> 00:04:59

until you can say Bismillah

00:05:01--> 00:05:18

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

00:05:19--> 00:05:23

say Bismillah R Rahman Rahim and eat pork

00:05:25--> 00:05:31

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

00:05:33--> 00:05:41

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

00:05:43--> 00:05:46

for those of us who know it has a power

00:05:48--> 00:05:50

so we can use it to our benefit.

00:05:51--> 00:05:56

We only say Bismillah before what is good.

00:05:59--> 00:06:04
