The Besmele Kasidesi, a 19-couplet poem, was penned by the 15th-century scholar and poet Abdurrahman Molla Cami. Cami, renowned for his contributions to literature, particularly in mysticism and Sufism, dedicated this ode to the phrase “Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Rahim” (“In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful”). This phrase, opening all but one Qur’anic chapter, carries immense spiritual weight in Islam.
