‘A-‘uu-zu
Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful.)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful.)
When Messenger of Allah
Almighty began to recite verses of Holy Qur’aan before the people
of Makkah, at that time; there were two groups of the people. One
group from them was of such people who used to call Allah Almighty but they did
not believe in Him as required. Maximum; they had faith that He is a great
Ruler, under Whose supervision; there were many junior rulers for performing
normal routine works. They used to consider that all works of the people are
done by means of the junior gods, and without their support, access unto the
Great Ruler is impossible.
Holy Qur’aan has
explained that there is No Ruler (God) save Allah Almighty. All decisions are
in His hand and He gives necessary things to the entire living beings. He has
many names. He is the Omnipotent, the Creator, the Beneficent, the Lord, the
Giver and Bestower.
Because they were linguists, so
they would have understood the meanings of Rahmaan. That is to say;
Giver of everything is only He. This perception about Allah Almighty was
against their accepted perception. They used to say: our requirements are
fulfilled by these junior gods. If we believe that Allah is Rahmaan,
then these junior gods will become entirely useless.
It was the reason that when a
treaty among the Muslims and the Idolaters of Makkah was going
to be written in the Peace Agreement of Hudaybia, Messenger (grace,
glory, blessings and peace be upon him) caused to write in the beginning “Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim (In
the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful.)”. But the people of Makkah said:
we don’t know about Rahmaan, so you should write only “Bis-Millaah or Bis-Millaahumma”.
At that time, their persistence was fulfilled. However in fact, Holy Qur’aan continued
making clear the matter which It was desirous to explain.
It is commanded: If you believe
in Allah Almighty, you should understand His Attributes and Names also,
otherwise believing or disbelieving are equal. Such perception about Allah
Almighty is not proper that “after creating the world, He has appointed some
little rulers for its management and He Himself has been sitting aside. Now He
has no connection with the works of every day”. Know; if you wish to understand
it that the Creator of all things is Allah Almighty and only He is Who gives
all things to His creatures. There is No so much Powerful but He only.
