Tafsir of Surat Fussilat: (( In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful ))

"Then He said, Blessed and Exalted is He, 'In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Much Merciful' to the end of it." We have spoken at length about the Basmalah and clarified that it is a verse from the Book of Allah, but it is not a verse belonging to the surah that follows it or the one that precedes it; rather, it is a verse used to begin the surahs, except for Surat al-Bara'ah. because is a singular noun with a possessive suffix, and a singular noun with a possessive suffix indicates generality. Every singular noun attached to a definite noun indicates generality. Have you not seen the saying of Allah the Exalted: If we looked at its wording, we would say it is singular, but it is numerous and incalculable. Thus, this singular noun that is attached serves to indicate generality, and this is the rule: every singular noun attached to a definite noun indicates generality. For this reason, we said "with every name of Allah's names." Al-Rahman and al-Rahim are two attributes of the Glorious Name, but the first considers the description, while the second considers the action, which is conveying mercy. As for the object of this preposition and its genitive, it is omitted and estimated to be a delayed verb appropriate to the context. If you intend to read, you say: "In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Much Merciful," and you estimate: "I read." That was chosen, meaning the choice was made for it to be a verb, because the default for actions is verbs, and therefore a verb functions without conditions, whereas nouns that function like verbs must have conditions, as is known in the science of grammar. We chose it to be delayed for two benefits: the first benefit is seeking good fortune by mentioning the name of Allah, and the second benefit is the intention of restriction, because if the governing word is delayed, that constitutes restriction. If you say, "Zayd, honor [him]," the meaning is: do not honor anyone else. But if you say, "Honor Zayd," it does not preclude that you might honor someone else. So we delayed it for two benefits: the first is seeking good fortune by mentioning the name of Allah, Mighty and Majestic, and the second is indicating restriction. We estimated it to be appropriate because it makes the intended meaning clearer. If someone said, "In the name of Allah, I begin," we would say: that is correct, but it does not clarify the intended meaning as clearly as "In the name of Allah, I read," because beginning applies to reading and to things other than reading. For this reason, it was chosen to be appropriate to the context. In summary, where is the object of the preposition and its genitive? We say: it is omitted, a delayed verb appropriate to the context.
