Tafseer Basmalah
Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al 'Uthaymeen said: "its interpretation is: Truly a man asks for help with an intermediary for all of God's name. We say: is meant is any name that God has. We conclude that the expression isim (name) in the form of simplex (single) and mudhaf (resting), then the general meaning. A person who read basmalah bertawassul to Allah Ta'ala by stating the nature of mercy. Because of the nature of mercy will help man to do his deeds. And people who read basmalah want to ask for help with intermediaries the names of God to facilitate the charity-charity. "(Shifatush Shalah, p.. 64).
