BISMILLAH ISLAMIC WALL DECAL

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ

Bismillah plays an important role in Islamic Culture. Following the practice of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blesssings be upon him and his Household (Ahlul Bayt), Muslims begin with the name of Allah before doing anything.

The Basmala (Arabic: بسملة‎ basmala), also known by its opening utterance Bismillah (Arabic: بسم الله‎, “In the name of God”)^[1] is the collective noun for the Islamic phrase “b-ismi-llāhi r-raḥmāni r-raḥīmi“. This is the phrase recited before each sura (chapter) of the Qur’an – except for the ninth^{[Notes 1][2]} – and is often translated as “In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful“.^{[citation needed]}
