Al-Fatiah explains Bismillah
-
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
Signifying WITHIN the name of Allah is Rahman and Rahim, most tend to forget this*All praise is due to Allah, +the Lord of the Worlds.
*The Beneficent, the Merciful.
+Master of the Day of Judgment.*the link here is
?All praise is due to Allah? and ?The Beneficent, the Merciful.?+The other link is
?the Lord of the Worlds? and ?Master of the Day of Judgment.?*Prior ayats explains Allah and that we are within test (and will be judged accordingly)
Then it explains Rahman and Rahim
***Rahman
*Thee do we serve and***Rahim
+Thee do we beseech for help.Now it explains Rahman/Rahim in more detail
***Rahman
*Keep us on the right path.***Rahman
*The path of those upon whom Thou hast bestowed favors.***Rahim
+Not (the path) of those upon whom Thy wrath is brought down,***Rahim
+nor of those who go astray.*the link here is
?Keep us on the right path? and ?nor of those who go astray?
*the other link is
?The path of those upon whom Thou hast bestowed favors.? and ?Not (the path) of those upon whom Thy wrath is brought down?Rahman is defined as ? it is active participle noun in the measure of fa?lan which conveys the idea of fullness and extensiveness.
Rahim is defined as ? it is in the measure of fa?il which denotes the idea of constant repetition and giving. -
Nice post.
However, how do we extract the meaning of 'within' from the particle ?
Sounds like this in English translation, but does it really have this connotation in Arabic? Where is 'in/within' in the Arabic?Peace
sunVery good question Zulf. in Arabic the Basmala is an incomplete sentence and merely a phrase. Now - there are several connotations of the particle Ba.

bismillah = bi + ism + Allah
