Every surah of the Quran begins with bismillah, translated as 'In the name of Allah(swt)'. Here we see that the name of Allah is not in the beginning. I in my poor knowledge cannot understand why the starting word is something other then the word Allah. Can anyone elaborate on that.

Why should the word Allah be the beginning?– Medi1Saif ♦Nov 28, 2020 at 14:24

Because Allah (swt) is THE awwal.– KashmiriNov 28, 2020 at 18:07

HE is also The Akhir so why isn't the last word in the qur'an Allah? This simply isn't a convincing argument. Also be aware that the qur'an isn't even arranged chronologically. At least starting with hamd or in Allahs name seems much more reasonable.– Medi1Saif ♦Nov 28, 2020 at 18:53

Yes I am only here to admit my ignorance and am ready to learn Insha Allah :)– KashmiriNov 29, 2020 at 1:05

I don't know Arabic too much but what does Allahuma bismika mean?– KashmiriNov 29, 2020 at 1:06
