If we were to give an exhaustive account of the benefits of the recitation of 'Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim' we would need more  than a single volume to  do justice to it. Apart from being part of every  chapter in the Holy Qur'an  (except the chapter of repentance - surah at-tawba), it is also the most  often repeated verse in the Holy Qur'an.

It is narrated in Tafseere Burhaan that the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.S) has said  that when a person recites 'Bismillahir Rahmanir  Rahim' then five thousand  ruby palaces are built for him in Jannah.

Each palace has a thousand chambers made of pearls  and in each chamber has  seventy thousand thrones of emerald and each throne  has seventy thousand  carpets made from special fabrics and upon each  carpet is seated a  Hur-ul-Ein.

A person asked for the condition necessary to get  this great reward and the Holy Prophet ( S.A.W.) replied that the person should recite the 'Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim' with conviction and understanding.  

The Holy Prophet (S.A.W.S) has also said that when a  believer will have to  cross the Pul-e-Siraat on the Day of Judgement,and  he will say 'Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim' then the flames beneath him will  start dying down until  Jahannam will cry out, 'O believer, pass through quickly, your presence is  causing my fire to die out!'  

When a teacher teaches a child to recite  'Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim' the  child, his parents and the teacher are all  guaranteed freedom from hellfire.  

It is narrated that Prophet Isa (A.S.) was once  passing by a graveyard and  he saw a grave upon which the Wrath and Punishment  of Allah S.W.T.) was  descending, so he quietly walked past. When he  passed the same place after  some time, he noticed that the Mercy and Blessings  of Allah (S.W.T.) was  being showered on the same grave. He was surprised  at this and asked Allah (S.W.T.) about what has happened and it was revealed  to him that the man  inside the grave was a sinner and was thus being  punished for his sins. When  he died, his wife was pregnant and soon gave birth to a son.  When the boy grew older, his mother took him to a  teacher who taught him to  recite 'Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim' and I felt that  it would not be justice  that this man's son was calling My Name and I was  punishing his father in  the grave.

It is also mentioned that recitation of 'Bismillahir  Rahmanir Rahim' with a  loud voice is from the signs of a true believer. Imam Ali Ridha (A.S.) Said  that 'Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim' is very close to  the chosen name of Allah  (S.W.T.) <Isma A'adham>.  

The Day of Judgment is near when there is a single  star in the sky,  straightaway the path of forgiveness will close. The  writing in the Quran  will vanish. The sun will lower itself with the  earth.. Muhammad (saw) said  who ever delivers this news to someone else I will  on the day of judgment  make him a place in paradise,


Forward this to as many Muslims as you can.  May Allah make us all be among those who truly love  Him. May He give us sincerity in both words and deeds

Insha Allah Ameen.
