Bismillah Wall Art & Decor
Bismillah wall art and decor
Bismillah means "in the name of Allah". The full phrase, Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim, means "in the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful" and is called the Basmala. It opens every surah of the Quran except Surah At-Tawbah, and Muslims say it before eating, before entering the home and at the start of any task. That is why it is so often the first piece of calligraphy people hang at home.

Arabic script or Latin letters
Most pieces show the Basmala in Arabic calligraphy, in scripts from flowing Thuluth to square Kufic. Some key holders and tabletop signs spell Bismillah in Latin letters, which helps guests who do not read Arabic. Several sets pair Bismillah with Alhamdulillah, SubhanAllah or Mashallah.
Where to place it
The entrance is the most common place, since the Basmala is said when entering the home. The dining area is another, as it is said before eating. Hang it on a clean wall at eye level or above, and keep it out of the bathroom out of respect.
