In this short educational reminder, Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan explains the Islamic ruling on beginning a written text—such as a poem, a letter, or any authored work—with the phrase “Bismillah”. Many Muslims wonder whether starting with “Bismillah” is obligatory, recommended, or specific to certain types of writing. In this clip, the Ustadh clarifies the matter using principles from classical scholarship and the understanding of the early generations. This reflection helps us understand when “Bismillah” is required, when it is recommended, and when it is not necessary—so that we follow the Sunnah with knowledge and precision, not habits alone. 📌 Source (Original video): Al Madrasatu Al Umariyyah – Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan Excerpt from: “Al-Ha’iyyah by Ibn Abi Dawud” Starting at 27:20 of this video: 👉    • The Salafi Creed in 33 Lines: Al-Ha’iyyah ...   🎓 About this channel: Dawah English Official shares powerful and concise reminders from trusted scholars and students of knowledge—designed to educate, inspire reflection, and strengthen Islamic understanding through authentic sources. 👍 Like, comment, and subscribe for more beneficial clips. 🔔 Turn on notifications to never miss a reminder. #IslamicReminder #Bismillah #UstadhAbdulrahmanHassan #IslamicKnowledge #DawahEnglish #Sunnah #IslamEducation #SeekingKnowledge #IslamicWisdom
