Which Surah in the Quran contains the Basmala twice?
ما هي السورة التي ورد فيها البسملة مرتين؟
Surah An-Naml (Chapter 27) is the only Surah in the Quran that contains the Basmala twice. It appears once at the very beginning and a second time in Verse 30.
سورة النمل هي السورة الوحيدة في القرآن الكريم التي وردت فيها البسملة مرتين؛ الأولى في بدايتها (كافتتاحية للسورة)، والثانية في الآية رقم 30.
(Indeed, it is from Solomon, and indeed, it reads: "In the name of Allah - the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.")
[An-Naml 27:30]
Context: The second Basmala occurs within the text of a letter sent by Prophet Sulaiman (AS) to the Queen of Sheba, inviting her to submit to Allah.
Note: This compensates for Surah At-Tawbah, which is the only Surah that does not begin with a Basmala.
إِنَّهُ مِن سُلَيْمَانَ وَإِنَّهُ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
[سورة النمل: آية 30]
