بِسْمِ اللَّهِ
In the name of God.
The initial prepositional phrase in بِسْمِ اللَّهِ can direct attention to invoking God’s name and beginning with it. This should not be turned into an abstract universal claim about the impossibility of all other actions.
The assumed governing verb is a grammatical question; the benefit of placing the phrase first is rhetorical. The two levels of analysis must remain distinct.
