With the mention of Your Name Ba http://www.untiredwithloving.org/harf_ba.html
The first emanation from the realm of the Souls was Ba, and the first Harf (Alphabetized Divine Word) of Allah's Book is Ba as well. Is this a coincidence? Or there is an incredible connection between these common occurrences? If you start the Qur'an without the Basmala (Bimillahir Rahmanir Rahim), you did not recite Qur'an and if you did not correctly read the first letter of the Basmala, the B-sounding Ba, you did not read Basmala and you did not commence properly. Why did the Prophet, peace be upon him, gave specific instructions on calligraphy of this letter? Why this Harf (Alphabetized Divine Word) is pronounced as a B-sound? --DARA The Eyeless Lion
