Question:
Is the Basmala a verse of the Noble Qur'an, or is it only a verse of al-Fatihah? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
There is no doubt that the Basmala is a verse of the Noble Qur'an, but it is an independent verse except in Surat al-Naml, where it is part of a verse, namely in the saying of Allah the Exalted:[An-Naml 27:30] As for anything other than this, the Basmala is an independent verse written between every two surahs. This was the practice during the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The stronger position is that it is not part of Surat al-Fatihah, nor of any other surah, but rather it is an independent verse, except for the verse in Surat al-Naml, where it is part of that verse. Yes.
