Dear Brothers and Sisters!
\n<\/b>We have entered another new Gregorian year. Time is one of the most precious blessings entrusted to human beings. Every new year is an opportunity to take account of the past and to make the future more worthy. As a believer enters the new year, they renew not only the calendar, but also their intention and their heart. The key to this renewal is seeking refuge in Allah and beginning every action in His name.<\/p>\n
Dear Brothers and Sisters! Isti\u02bf<\/span>\u0101dhah is not only recited before Qur\u2019an recitation; it is a refuge when we feel anger, when we are drawn toward sin and when whispers enter our hearts. In this regard, Allah (swt) says, \u201cIf an evil suggestion from Shaytan provokes you, then seek refuge in Allah. Indeed, He is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.\u201d <\/b>The chapters of al-Falaq and an-N\u0101s are also supplications that protect the believer from both visible and hidden evils.<\/p>\n Dear Jama\u2019ah! \u0627\u0650\u0646\u0651\u064e\u0647\u064f<\/b> <\/b>\u0645\u0650\u0646\u0652<\/b> <\/b>\u0633\u064f\u0644\u064e\u064a\u0652\u0645\u0670\u0646\u064e<\/b> <\/b>\u0648\u064e\u0627\u0650\u0646\u0651\u064e\u0647\u064f<\/b> <\/b>\u0628\u0650\u0633\u0652\u0645\u0650<\/b> <\/b>\u0627\u0644\u0644\u0651\u0670\u0647\u0650<\/b> <\/b>\u0627\u0644\u0631\u0651\u064e\u062d\u0652\u0645\u0670\u0646\u0650<\/b> <\/b>\u0627\u0644\u0631\u0651\u064e\u062d\u0656\u064a\u0645\u0650\u06d9<\/b><\/p>\n \u201cIndeed, it is from Sulayman, and indeed, it is in the name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful.<\/b>\u201d Through this, the Basmalah is presented as a divine etiquette. Our Prophet (saw) also said, \u201cEvery meaningful statement or action that is not begun with the exalted Basmalah is deprived of blessing and remains incomplete.\u201d<\/p>\n To understand which words, actions and deeds the Basmalah should precede, the phrase \u201cdh\u012b b\u0101l\u201d mentioned in the hadith is of great significance. Dh\u012b b\u0101l refers to all meaningful, important, conscious and lawful actions. Thus, the Basmalah is recited when sitting down to eat, leaving the house, beginning work, setting out on a journey, starting a conversation and when performing wudu and salah. Reciting the Basmalah brings blessing to one\u2019s actions and strengthens the bond between the servant and Allah. A believer who begins with the Basmalah is, in effect, saying, \u201cI am doing this not in my own name, but for the pleasure of Allah.\u201d The Basmalah is also a symbol of an ethic of mercy, as it is composed of Allah\u2019s two names of mercy: al-Ra\u1e25<\/span>m\u0101n and al-Ra\u1e25<\/span>\u012bm. Every word and every action that begins with the Basmalah is grounded in mercy, justice and compassion.<\/p>\n Dear Brothers and Sisters!

\n<\/b>Isti\u02bf<\/span>\u0101dhah means \u201cseeking refuge in Allah from the Shaytan.\u201d In the Qur\u2019an, seeking refuge in Allah is mentioned in 17 verses. Prophet Nuh sought refuge in Allah from asking for what he had no knowledge of (S\u016brah H\u016bd, 47); Prophet Y\u016bsuf sought refuge from falling into sin (S\u016brah Y\u016bsuf, 23); and Prophet Musa sought refuge from acting in anger toward his people (S\u016brah al-Baqarah, 67). Allah (swt) instructs us, \u201cWhen you recite the Qur\u2019an, seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan.\u201d<\/b> teaching us to always seek His protection.<\/p>\n
\n<\/b>The Basmalah, on the other hand, means beginning every good and righteous deed in the name of Allah. When we say \u201cBismill\u0101hir-Ra\u1e25<\/span>m\u0101nir-Ra\u1e25<\/span>\u012bm,\u201d we seek the mercy and help of Allah. The Basmalah is a mark of true servitude: it is the servant attributing their actions not to themselves, but to Allah. In the Qur\u2019an, while mentioning the letter of Prophet Sulayman, it is stated:<\/p>\n
\n<\/b>As we enter the new Gregorian year, our hope is this: that we protect our hearts from whispers, occupy ourselves with good and righteous deeds and humbly ask Allah (swt) to bring our efforts to completion with blessing. For this reason, let us adorn our tongues and our hearts with isti\u02bf<\/span>\u0101dhah and the Basmalah. Let us remember that a year begun by seeking refuge in Allah continues under His mercy and a deed started in His name concludes with blessing. O Allah, protect our hearts and minds through isti\u02bf<\/span>\u0101dhah. Bless our actions through the Basmalah. Make this year, in general, a year of mercy and peace for all humanity, and in particular for Muslims. Ameen.<\/p>\n
