IMPORTANCE OF WRITING بسم الله ON THE HOUSE DOOR

Thirtieth: Al-Kaf’ami, in his book of Miftah al-Ghayb, has reported that whoever writes the phrase bismillah (In the Name of Allah) on the outer door of his house, will be secured against demolition, even if he is nonbeliever.

He then states that Almighty Allah did not destroy Pharaoh immediately; rather, He granted him respite although he had claimed godhead, because he had written the phrase bismillah on the outer door of his house.

When Prophet Moses asked Almighty Allah to destroy Pharaoh immediately, Almighty Allah said to him by way of inspiration, “You look at only his disbelief, but I look considerably at what he had written on the door of his house!”
