Surah Fatiha: بسم اللہ ka maqam - Dr Israr Ahmad

This lecture clarifies the status of ‘Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Rahim’ within Surah Fatiha and other chapters of the Quran. Dr. Israr Ahmad details the differing opinions of Imam Shafi'i and Imam Abu Hanifa regarding its inclusion as a verse within Surah Fatiha. Imam Shafi'i maintains it is an integral part of the Surah, hence recited aloud during prayers. Imam Abu Hanifa considers it a separate verse, specific to Surah An-Naml (27) and not a component of Fatiha. The discussion analyzes a hadith describing a division of Surah Fatiha between Allah and His servant, noting that ‘Bismillah’ is not included in this division. Dr. Ahmad ultimately aligns with the position of Imam Abu Hanifa, asserting that while ‘Bismillah’ holds immense significance, it is not a verse within Surah Fatiha.
