In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful

Before Beginning Anything …

(for kids under 8 years old)

    

Before we begin anything, we should always say:

Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Raheem

I begin in the Name of Allah, the Most Kind, the Most Merciful

Allah [SWT] showers His Mercy and Blessings on us constantly, so we should remember Him and remind ourselves that it is because He has given us a wonderful life, that we can do so many things. 

Can you think of some of the things you are lucky to be blessed with?

Who gave these blessings to you?

We should also say Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Raheem because we want Allah [SWT] to help us in whatever we are doing and we don’t want to be distracted when we are doing good deeds.

Allah [SWT] loves those who remember Him and He always protects them.

When we begin by remembering Allah [SWT], we are also trusting Him that He will guide us and show us the right way. We are saying to Allah [SWT] that we recognize His Mercy and Kindness and know that He will always be there for us, because we are also remembering Him.
