The Basmala is not a verse of Surat al-Fatihah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh: Your Eminence! Is the Basmala a verse of Surat al-Fatihah? And if it is a verse, what is the ruling on one who does not recite it in the prayer?
The correct view is that the Basmala is not a verse of Surat al-Fatihah,And the evidence for this is: because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not recite it aloud as he recited the rest of the verses aloud,And another piece of evidence is: The hadith of Abu Hurayrah from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in which he said regarding Allah the Exalted: “I have divided the prayer between Me and My servant in two halves,When he says: [al-Fatihah:2] Allah said: My servant has praised Me.
) And he mentioned the rest of the hadith. If the Basmala were part of al-Fatihah, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would have specified it. Also, it is established by consensus that al-Fatihah has seven verses. If we divide it in the manner in which the Noble Qur'an came, it becomes clear that the Basmala is not part of al-Fatihah; because if we make it seven verses with the Basmala included, the last verse becomes long and does not correspond to the other verses,And because Allah the Exalted said in the Qudsi hadith: “I have divided the prayer between Me and My servant in two halves” implies that the first of the verses is [al-Fatihah:2] ;Because: [al-Fatihah:3] is for Allah, [al-Fatihah:4] is for Allah, [al-Fatihah:5] is between Allah and the servant, [al-Fatihah:6] is for the servant, [Al-Fatihah 1:7] is for the servant [al-Fatihah:7] is for the servant. Thus, there are three verses at the beginning of the surah for Allah, three verses at the end of the surah for the servant, and the fourth verse, which is the middle one, is between Allah and the servant.
