The copy text of Bismillah is: بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ
This Arabic phrase is a significant invocation in Islam, often used at the beginning of actions and texts. It's more than just words; it's a profound statement of reliance on and submission to God.
Here's a breakdown:
- بِسْمِ (Bismi): "In the name of"
- اللهِ (Allahi): "God" (Allah)
- الرَّحْمٰنِ (Ar-Rahmani): "The Most Gracious"
- الرَّحِيْمِ (Ar-Rahimi): "The Most Merciful"
Therefore, the full translation is: "In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful." It is a declaration of starting something with divine blessing and acknowledging God's attributes of grace and mercy.
