BASMALA-I-SHERÎFA

“Bismillâh-ir-Rahmân-ir-Rahîm,”) when starting to do something permitted by Islam, are a few examples.

If a person does not say the Basmala-i-sherîfa when starting to eat, he will suffer three losses: 

1– Satan will join him in eating.

2– The food he eats will turn into an illness in his body.

3– There will not be barakat in the food he eats.

If he says the Basmala-i-sherîfa, the food will give him three benefits:

1– The Satan will not get a share from the food.

2– The food he eats will become a healer in his body.

3– There will be barakat in the food.

[If one forgets to say the Basmala when starting to eat, one should say it whenever one remembers to say it.]
