The Holy Qor-aan 003:001 ؕ بِسۡمِ اللهِ الرَّحۡمٰنِ الرَّحِيۡمِ
Bis-mil-laa-hir-rah-maa-nir-ra-heem
With the name of Allah, the most Beneficent, the most Merciful I begin
(Beginning, commencing, starting)
- بِ — B…(is) — With (= This Arabic word literally means ‘with’. Its translation in English is more accurate with ‘with’ than with ‘in’)
- سۡمِ — Ism…(il) — The name of (= The way to be addressed or called)
- اللهِ — Laa-h…(ir) — Allah (= The Almighty God; the One Only worthy of worship)
- الرَّحۡمٰنِ — Rah-maa-n.(ir) — The Most Beneficent (= The One who fully, totally and wholly benefits all, to the maximum, with no condition, limitation or restriction. Compassionate. Gracious)
- الرَّحِيۡمِ — Ra-heem — The Most Merciful (= The One who fully, totally and wholly showers mercy, to the maximum, again and again, continually, indefinitely and perpetually like the incoming waves from the oceans)

The Holy Qor-aan 003:002 الٓمّؕ
Alif. Laam. Meem
I am Allah. I am Allah. I know all (I know the best).
- ا Alif * Abbreviation (one of the Haroof-e-Mo-qut-te-aat) for the word Allah
- لٓ Laam-meem Abbreviation (one of the Haroof-e-Mo-qut-te-aat) for the word Aa-lum that means“I know all”.
- مّ Meem Abbreviation (one of the Haroof-e-Mo-qut-te-aat) for the word Au-lum that means “I Know the best”
* Note 002:002. The translations differ as to the meanings of the three alphabets used as the verses 002:002, 003:002, 029:002, 030:002, 031-002 and 032:002. The allegation that they were the initials of the scribes who wrote them is downright preposterous for insinuating that human hands had contributed to what God Almighty had revealed to the Holy Prophet s.a.w.
