b-ismi-llāhi r-raḥmāni r-raḥīmi
In the Name of Allah, the most merciful, the most Beneficent.
Merciful: adj: To show mercy. To be compassionate.
Mercy:
1. Compassionate treatment, especially of those under one's power; clemency.
2. A disposition to be kind and forgiving: a heart full of mercy.
3. Something for which to be thankful; a blessing: It was a mercy that no one was hurt.
4. Alleviation of distress; relief
Beneficent: adj: Characterized by or performing acts of kindness or charity.
Doing good or causing good to be done
Generous or doing good.
Resulting in good.
Al-rahmani Al rahim.
Has become one of my favorite phrases.
I do not know much about Islam, but during ramadan, I took time out to search out the meaning of that phrase.
And I fell in love with it.
The Muslims say every prayer in the name of a God, who is merciful and compassionate to the children under him and a God who always causes good to be done.
I find it intricately beautiful.
That even though I am unworthy, the God I pray to is making sure everything is good for me- the most
I totally understand why the Muslims take prayer, seriously.
Because I would if I knew the person I was asking for anything is my corner the most, I would be talking to him all the time.
Bismillah Al'Rahman Al'Rahim
