Indeed, this phrase is a treasury so blessed that your infinite impotence and want bind you to an infinite power and mercy; it makes that impotence and want a most acceptable intercessor at the Court of One All-Powerful and Compassionate. The person who acts saying, "In the Name of God," resembles someone who enrolls in the army. He acts in the name of the government; he has fear of no one; he speaks, performs every matter, and withstands everything in the name of the law and the name of the government.
Haya maneno Bismil-Laah ni hazina iliyobarikiwa mno kiasi kwamba, kwa kukufungamanisha wewe na Uweza usio upeo na Rehema isiyo kifani ya Mwenye Enzi Zote na Mwenye Rehema, huugeuza udhaifu wako wa kupindukia na ufukara wako, uwe muwakilishi asikizwaye kuliko wote mbele ya Mahkama Yake iliyotukuka.
