It has also been written at the beginning of other s u rahs of the Holy Quran and also occurs at one other place in the Holy Quran. Such repetition is not found for any other verse as the frequency with which this verse is repeated in the Holy Quran. Since it has become an established practice in Islam to recite this verse, by way of benedic- tion and seeking divine help, at the beginning of every single activity in which welfare and blessings are sought, this verse has become widely known among friend and foe, and high and low, to the point that if any man is totally ignorant of all Quranic verses, even then there is a strong likelihood that he would certainly not be unacquainted with this verse. Now, attention should be directed to the perfect verities comprised in this verse, one of which is that the real purpose of this verse’s reve- lation is that humble and ignorant people may be taught the point of wisdom that Allah is the Supreme Name of the Being of Permanent Existence, which, according to divine terminology used in the Holy Quran, is applicable to the Being who comprises all perfect attributes, is free from every defect, is truly worthy of worship, is One without any associate, and is the Fountainhead of all grace. Two attributes out of several attributes of this Supreme Name are mentioned in 2 بسم ہللا 1. In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful. All praise belongs to Allah, Lord of all the worlds, the Gracious, the Merciful, Master of the Day of Judgment. You alone do we worship and You alone do we implore for help. Guide us in the straight path—the path of those on whom You have bestowed Your blessings, those who have not incurred displeasure, and those who have not gone astray ( S u rah al-F a ti h ah, 1:1–7).
