“Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim” means “In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.” It is the opening verse of the Qur'an and the phrase a Muslim says before beginning anything — eating, working, starting the day — to begin it with Allah.
“In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.”— 1:1 (Saheeh International)
