    1. “Bismillah al-Rahman al-Raheem” (بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ):

      • Translation: “In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.”
      • Explanation: This is a well-known phrase that begins many chapters (Surahs) of the Qur’an, except for Surah At-Tawbah (9). It is a phrase that Muslims use to invoke the name of Allah before starting any task, such as eating, writing, or beginning a journey. “Allah” is the Arabic word for God, “Al-Rahman” means “The Most Gracious” (having infinite mercy for all), and “Al-Raheem” means “The Most Merciful” (showing mercy specifically to the believers). This phrase reminds the Muslim to begin any action with the blessings and guidance of God.

    2. “Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam” (صلى الله عليه وسلم):

      • Translation: “Peace and blessings be upon him.”
      • Explanation: This is a phrase used by Muslims after mentioning the name of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). It is a form of respect and a prayer for Allah to send peace, blessings, and mercy upon the Prophet. Muslims are encouraged to say this whenever they mention the name of the Prophet Muhammad as an act of reverence and love.

    3. “ﷻ”:

      • Explanation: This is the Arabic abbreviation for “Subhanahu wa Ta’ala” (سُبْحَٰنَهُ وَتَعَٰلَىٰ), which means “Glorified and Exalted is He.” This is a phrase that is often used after mentioning the name of Allah (God). It is a reminder of Allah’s perfection and transcendence, acknowledging that He is free from any imperfection or flaw. Muslims use this expression as a sign of reverence when referring to Allah. The abbreviation “ﷻ” is a visual shorthand commonly seen in Islamic texts and calligraphy.
