The Barkat of Bismillah
When Adam عليه السلام was in Jannat, everything was ready found for him. He did
not have to do anything. However when he came to the dunya, he had to do
everything for himself. In order to make one roti, he needed three hundred
and sixty things.
He said,
“Bari Ta’aala things are so hard and difficult here.”
Allah سبحانه و تعالى said,
“Just read Bismillah and everything will become easy.”
We, the Ummat of Nabi صلى الله عليه و سلم have been given together, with Bismillah ArRahmaan and Ar-Raheem as well. What a great gift! But alas! We are very
negligent and weak in reciting Bismillah and making the zikr of Allah سبحانه و تعالى.
By reciting Bismillah, Allah سبحانه و تعالى’s great help comes and work becomes so easy. It is
a key to all goodness.
In Tafseer-e-Burhaan it is written that when a person reads Bismillahir
Rahmaanir Raheem five thousand palaces are built for him in Jannat, each
palace has seventy chambers, each chamber has seventy thrones, each throne
has seventy carpets and each carpet has a Hur-ul-Ain sitting on it!
The Sahabah رضی اللہ عنھم inquired,
“Is there any condition attached to it?”
Nabi صلى الله عليه و سلم said ,
“Read it with concentration and devotion.”
