Bismillah-ir-Rahman-ir-Rahim, start your actions accompanied by the name of Allah.

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ
Bismillah-ir-Rahman-ir-Rahim
(In the Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Most Kind).

"Bismillah-ir-Rahman-ir-Rahim " is the first of the first chapter Surah al-Fatiha of the Quran. The fact that the word of Allah, the Quran, Starts with this first verse, alone signifies the importance of this verse and further emphasizes the need to start all our tasks in the name of Allah (God).

When one says "Bismillah" before starting anything, it means " I start this action accompanied by the name of Allah or seeking help through the name of Allah", seeking blessing thereby.
