The mystics say: “Being emerged by name of Almighty God, the Merciful.”³ Almighty God commenced Holy Koran with the his own name, which is the dearest name, so that what is in his word, is related to His own name and is a civility the creatures learn and the creatures are educated to begin their actions, speeches, behaviors with that name, so that their actions are divine. Prophet of God (peace be upon him and his progeny) prescribed: “whichever of the affairs which is significant, if it does not commence in the name of God, it will be defected and will not be conclude. ⁴”

Word of God has commenced with: In the Name of God. The word is a verb, is an action so it is unified. Therefore, the word of God has a unified meaning from the beginning to the end which is the unit meaning with a unit purpose which is only guidance of the creatures.

While this phrase has been repeated in the beginning of every sura, and since each sura has a special purpose and brings a special meaning, so the next purpose will begin with the next In the Name of God of the next sura.

In Sura: Hamd, In the Name of God concerns a purpose for this sura which is praising God; not only it is a language, but also it is a statement of slavery, showing the slavery and requesting for assistance and guidance.

As it has been mentioned in the prophet’s narration, from the beginning of sura to We Only Worship You belongs to God and from We Only Worship You and We Only Ask you to Help us is joint between God and His  Creature and the rest of sura belongs to the creature.⁷ When a creature says: In the Name of God, Almighty God prescribes: My creature began his word in My Name, so I shall help him fulfill his affairs and grant to him. When the creature says: praise is for God of the World, God says: my creature praised me and acknowledged that I have granted to him what he has and I have kept far from him the calamities, so I ask the angles to witness that I have increased the graces in the world and in the afterlife, so I will keep far from him the afterlife calamities; just as I kept from him the world’s calamities.  

When the creature says: The Beneficent, the Merciful, Almighty God says: my creature witnessed that I am beneficent and merciful, so I ask you to witness that I will increase his share of my graces and kindness and will augment his share of my graces. When the creature says: the owner of the day of punishment, Almighty God prescribes: Witness that just as my creature acknowledged that I am the owner of the day of punishment, I shall facilitate to him the day of calculations, will accept his excellences and will disregard his sins. When the creature says: We Only Praise You, Almighty God will prescribe: my creature is right and he truly worshiped me, so I ask you witness that I will pay for his worship, so that whoever is deviated from the path of worship, feels jealous.  

When the creature says: and We Ask You to Help Us, Almighty God prescribes: My creature asked me to help him and took shelter to me, so I ask you to witness that I will help him and I will assist him in his troubles. When the creature says: Guide me to the Direct Path, till the end of sura, Almighty God prescribes: I shall fulfill all that and whatever he asks in addition to it. I have fulfilled all his wishes and will secure him of what he fears. ⁸
