Is بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم A Part Of The Fatiha?
To Ghamidi Sahib, Tasmiyah is not the part of Surah Fatiha. It is here as it is in the beginning of every surah. The reason behind absence of Tasmiya before Surah Tawbah is explained by Ghamidi Sahib in his annotation Albayan that the Surah starts with an air of wrath and it was not befitting to mention Tasmiya which is a declaration of mercy.
Its placement before every Surah.
