Blessings of بِسْمِ اللہِ

The illness of not accepting one’s own mistakes and blaming others is sadly widespread. Take the month of Ṣafar as an example. If people arrange a wedding in this month, then make the Devil happy with much drumming, music and dancing throughout the night, and then the marriage fails, they will say, “It was in Ṣafar; this month is ill-omened.”

Let’s also say someone wakes up after the time of fajr has passed, having enjoyed a long sleep. He gets ready for work quickly. When he reaches his office, some problem then occurs, there is financial loss, or his boss scolds him. He then starts saying all kinds of superstitious things, blaming someone he saw or a black cat that crossed his path!

O those who love Allah’s Messenger! The fault neither lies with the month of Ṣafar nor the poor cat. If good actions are begun with the pure name of Allah and we prostrate in thankfulness to Him, we shall find all blessings and ease in what we set out to do. When the pure name of Allah is not mentioned or matters are begun with acts that please Satan, what blessings do we then hope to attain?

Devotee of بِسْمِ اللہِ

As mentioned in Blessings of Sunnah, a book written by the Amir of Ahl al-Sunnah, Mawlana Ilyas Attar al-Qadiri دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـهْ:

A muballigh was once describing the excellence of بِسْمِ اللہِ in a gathering. A non-Muslim girl was greatly moved by listening to this, and she went on to accept Islam.

She developed a habit of reciting بِسْمِ اللہِ before sleeping, when waking up, standing, sitting, walking and doing everything else. In short, she started reciting بِسْمِ اللہِ all the time.
