Why does surah naml have 2 bismillah? | Noor Academy

One of the most famous surahs for having two bismillah is surah naml ( Arabic: سوة النمل ) written Surah al Naml, so in this article, we will learn everything about it.

Why does surah naml have 2 bismillah? We know that every surah starts with bismillah “In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful,” except surah Tawbah doesn’t start with bismillah, which is the first bismillah. While the second bismillah was the phrase that the Prophet Sulaiman (King Solomon) used to start his message to the Queen of Sheba.

Surah naml meaning

surah al naml is the surah number 27 of the holy Quran, with 93 verses that were revealed to the Prophet (peace and blessing be upon him) in Makkah.

Surah An-Naml (The Ants) is a Makki Surah which means that it was revealed in Makkah. It is the 27th Surah of the Holy Quran with a total of 93 verses. It has only 1 Sajdah in the 25th verse of this Surah.

  •       Here is the meaning of the first four verses of surah an naml:

طسٓ ۚ تِلْكَ ءَايَـٰتُ ٱلْقُرْءَانِ وَكِتَابٍۢ مُّبِينٍ ١

Ṭâ-Sĩn. These are the verses of the Quran; the clear Book.

هُدًۭى وَبُشْرَىٰ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ٢

˹It is˺ a guide and good news for the believers:

ٱلَّذِينَ يُقِيمُونَ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَيُؤْتُونَ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ وَهُم بِٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ هُمْ يُوقِنُونَ ٣

˹those˺ who establish prayer, pay alms tax, and have sure faith in the Hereafter.

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ زَيَّنَّا لَهُمْ أَعْمَـٰلَهُمْ فَهُمْ يَعْمَهُونَ ٤

As for those who do not believe in the Hereafter, We have certainly made their ˹evil˺ deeds appealing to them, so they wander blindly.
