The Basmala is not a verse of every surah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said: In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful: [Al-Nazi'at: 1-5] .
The Basmala is an independent verse of the Book of Allah; it does not follow the surah before it or the one after it. For this reason, the stronger position is that the Basmala is not part of al-Fatihah, but rather an independent verse. The evidence for this is the hadith of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), established in the two Sahihs, that Allah the Exalted said: (I divided the prayer between Me and My servant into two halves,When he says: Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds,Allah the Exalted said: My servant praised Me) and he mentioned the rest of the hadith. It is also not a verse of the other surahs. What we see in the mushaf, where it is placed as a verse in al-Fatihah and not in the others, is based on the opinion of some scholars. However, the correct view is what I have mentioned to you: that it is an independent verse. Therefore, if a person limits himself in al-Fatihah to saying: Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, until the end of the surah, his prayer would be valid.
However, it is not found at the beginning of the surah of al-Bara'ah, and the reason for this is: that no verse of the Basmala was revealed to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) between the two surahs, so it was not present. As for the explanation given by some scholars that it isMeaning: the surah of al-Bara'ah was revealed with the sword, that is a weak explanation that is not correct; because if the sword is used in a just cause, it is a just cause and does no harm.
