Bismillah Rahman Rahim, Assalamu alaykum,
Dear Brothers & Sisters, This is a nice piece on the power of Bismillah by Maulana Sheikh Nazim one of the living Sheikhs of the Naqshbandi Spiritual order. Sallams, Mohamed THE SECRET POWER OF THE BASMALA Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim All power is from Allah Almighty and we must always ask for His support, because we are in need, we are weak ones. Allah Almighty ordered His Beloved Prophet Sayyidina Muhammad - sallAllahu alayhi wa sallam - to inform his Umma that anything that is not begun with His Holy Name: "Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim", will never be supported by Allah; it means it will never give fruit, and it must fail... If you say Allah's Holy Name, you will take benefit from that action, and any harm, that may be in it will leave you. Whoever is feellng weak should say it, and power will come to his physical body and to his heart. The Basmala is the most important key for opening all treasures in the Heavens and on earth, and for opening all forms of knowledge. Allah Almighty has put three thousand of His Holy Names in it: 1000 Names that are known only to the Angels, 1000 Names known by the Prophets, 999 Names contained in the 4 Holy Books, and His Greatest Name. All of these Names are contained in the Basmala... Whoever is able to reach to the secret power of the Basmala should be dressed in miraculous powers. We, as servants of Allah, should say it at least 100 times daily. If a person continues for 40 days, he should find some power, some changes in himself, especially if he says it one thousand times between Fajr and sunrise... From unseen worlds, from Malakut beautiful views will appear to him. According to the thickness of the veils of his heart, from 1 x 40 days, up to 7 x 40 days, there should be an opening... If not, it means that his heart is too occupied with Dunya. and he should try to put Dunya last, and then try again. It is a rule which can't be wrong. Even in one day it may be opened, because it is so powerful.. Every time you say: "Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim", it means that you are remembering the Lord: "O My Lord, I am remembering You!" And then Allah says: "O My servant, I am remembering you!" Don't forget! If you forget, you will be forgotten!

Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.} (Holy Quran-16:125) {And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites (men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33) The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of camels." [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim] The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said, "Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all."
