بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
Meaning: In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Especially Merciful.
The bi- gives the sense of beginning with Allah’s name and seeking His aid. Ar-Rahman and ar-Rahim are divine names conveying mercy. Jurists distinguish saying basmalah before recitation from the separate question of whether it forms a verse of al-Fatihah and whether it is recited aloud.
