About this Supplication & Hadith Context
Meaning, spiritual background, and authentic virtues from the Sunnah
Reciting Bismillah prior to consuming any meal invites divine Barakah (blessing) into one's food and prevents Shaytan from partaking in the meal. If one forgets at the start, the Prophet ﷺ advised saying: 'Bismillahi awwalahu wa akhirahu' (In the name of Allah at its beginning and its end) (Abu Dawud 3767).
