Did you know that there is a simple

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

phrase, a simple statement that can transform

00:00:05 --> 00:00:06

every action

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

of yours, every action that you do into

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

a source of huge blessings?

00:00:11 --> 00:00:13

That is something that many of us, we

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

say very lightly without even realizing its immense

00:00:17 --> 00:00:18

power. So stick around till the end of

00:00:18 --> 00:00:20

the video to find out the depth of

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

this statement.

00:00:27 --> 00:00:28

So what is this statement?

00:00:29 --> 00:00:30

The phrase is

00:00:30 --> 00:00:31

Bismillah,

00:00:31 --> 00:00:33

in the name of Allah, in the name

00:00:33 --> 00:00:34

of God Almighty.

00:00:35 --> 00:00:37

It is not just words. It is a

00:00:37 --> 00:00:41

game changer. By starting anything with Bismillah, whether

00:00:41 --> 00:00:41

it is eating,

00:00:42 --> 00:00:45

working, working out, or even something as simple

00:00:45 --> 00:00:46

as leaving your house or going to the

00:00:46 --> 00:00:47

washroom,

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

you are inviting Allah's blessings and protection into

00:00:51 --> 00:00:54

your life. Alayhi Bin Abi Taarib radiAllahu anhu

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

he reports, the prophet has said,

00:00:57 --> 00:01:00

a screen will be placed between the eyes

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

of the jinn

00:01:02 --> 00:01:05

and the nakedness of the children of Adam

00:01:05 --> 00:01:08

if one of them says as he or

00:01:08 --> 00:01:09

she enters the washroom,

00:01:09 --> 00:01:11

Bismillah, in the name of Allah. So you

00:01:11 --> 00:01:12

say Bismillah,

00:01:13 --> 00:01:15

a screen is placed to protect you. Hadith

00:01:15 --> 00:01:16

is recorded in the book of Imam al

00:01:16 --> 00:01:17

Thirmidi Rahimahullah.

00:01:18 --> 00:01:21

Another narration, Abu Hureyra radiAllahu anhu narrates the

00:01:21 --> 00:01:22

prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, his report wrote,

00:01:22 --> 00:01:24

and the narration goes along the lines of

00:01:24 --> 00:01:25

these words.

00:01:25 --> 00:01:26

Every

00:01:27 --> 00:01:29

important word or matter

00:01:29 --> 00:01:31

that does not begin

00:01:31 --> 00:01:33

with the remembrance of Allah, the mentioning of

00:01:33 --> 00:01:34

Allah

00:01:34 --> 00:01:36

is maimed, is is

00:01:37 --> 00:01:39

disabled, or becomes incomplete. Hadith is recorded in

00:01:39 --> 00:01:41

the book of Imam Ahmed

00:01:43 --> 00:01:44

Rahimahullah. So if you look at Bismillah,

00:01:45 --> 00:01:47

it is not just a phrase.

00:01:47 --> 00:01:49

It is not just a statement.

00:01:50 --> 00:01:51

It is a powerful

00:01:51 --> 00:01:52

reminder

00:01:52 --> 00:01:55

that we are placing our trust in Allah.

00:01:55 --> 00:01:58

We are seeking his help. We're seeking his

00:01:58 --> 00:01:59

blessings in whatever

00:01:59 --> 00:02:02

we do. When we say Bismillah before starting

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

something,

00:02:03 --> 00:02:07

whether it is as simple as eating or

00:02:07 --> 00:02:09

as significant as beginning, let's say,

00:02:10 --> 00:02:11

a new project,

00:02:11 --> 00:02:12

we are acknowledging

00:02:13 --> 00:02:14

that all success,

00:02:15 --> 00:02:16

all blessings,

00:02:16 --> 00:02:18

all assistance, and all

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

boons,

00:02:22 --> 00:02:26

good fortune, everything comes from Allah alone. The

00:02:26 --> 00:02:28

prophet, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, he taught us

00:02:28 --> 00:02:31

to begin every action of ours with Bismillah.

00:02:32 --> 00:02:33

And, subhanallah,

00:02:34 --> 00:02:36

it is such a powerful way

00:02:36 --> 00:02:40

to purify our intentions, to recalibrate our intentions,

00:02:40 --> 00:02:42

to invite Allah's help into our lives. When

00:02:42 --> 00:02:43

we start with Bismillah,

00:02:44 --> 00:02:46

it is as if we are asking Allah

00:02:46 --> 00:02:48

to protect us from harm,

00:02:48 --> 00:02:50

to guide our steps

00:02:50 --> 00:02:53

and to bless each and every one of

00:02:53 --> 00:02:56

our efforts. Imagine even the smallest of tasks

00:02:57 --> 00:02:58

like drinking water

00:02:58 --> 00:03:01

or putting on your shoes can become acts

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

of worship

00:03:02 --> 00:03:05

simply by saying Bismillah before doing them. It

00:03:05 --> 00:03:08

is a reminder that nothing is

00:03:08 --> 00:03:09

insignificant

00:03:10 --> 00:03:11

when done with the right intention

00:03:12 --> 00:03:15

and in the name of Allah, remembering Allah.

00:03:15 --> 00:03:16

And it doesn't stop there.

00:03:17 --> 00:03:18

Starting with Bismillah

00:03:19 --> 00:03:20

also

00:03:20 --> 00:03:22

keeps us mindful and conscious

00:03:22 --> 00:03:24

of our actions.

00:03:24 --> 00:03:26

It helps us to avoid

00:03:26 --> 00:03:28

anything that might displease Allah

00:03:28 --> 00:03:29

because

00:03:30 --> 00:03:32

how can we say his name

00:03:32 --> 00:03:35

over something that is bad, over something that

00:03:35 --> 00:03:36

isn't good?

00:03:36 --> 00:03:37

So, therefore,

00:03:37 --> 00:03:40

let us make it a habit to start

00:03:40 --> 00:03:43

every action of ours with Bismillah. It is

00:03:43 --> 00:03:46

a small phrase with immense power as you

00:03:46 --> 00:03:47

can see, bringing blessings

00:03:48 --> 00:03:50

into our lives and also keeping us

00:03:51 --> 00:03:53

connected to our maker, to to to Allah

00:03:53 --> 00:03:55

throughout the day. So may Allah grant

00:03:56 --> 00:03:57

us the to

00:03:58 --> 00:03:59

remember him always,

00:03:59 --> 00:04:01

and to put all of what I said

00:04:01 --> 00:04:02

insha Allah into action.

00:04:03 --> 00:04:05
