Bismillah, In the Name of God, is the beginning of all good things. So we too shall start with it. This blessed phrase is a sign of Islam, and all creatures constantly recite it in their unique way. If you want to understand what an inexhaustible source of strength and blessing Bismillah is, then listen to the following allegory:
For a stranger who travels in the deserts of Arabia, it is necessary to get the protection of a tribal chief. Only then may he escape the mischief of robbers and be sure his needs will be met. Traveling alone would be a waste of time because of the enemies and unmet needs he must face.
Two men once set out on such a desert journey. One was humble, the other arrogant. The humble man took the protection of a tribal chief, but the arrogant one didn’t. The former traveled everywhere in safety. Whenever he met a robber, he would say, “I’m traveling in the name of such and such chief,” and the robber would move on without molesting him. He would be treated with respect in every tent he entered because of that name. By contrast, the arrogant one suffered indescribable disasters throughout his journey. He trembled in constant fear and was obliged to struggle and beg for his every need. He became low and mean.

You are not asking, In fact, you are preaching, so you missed the point. Anyway, it can be understood that the phrase (Bismillah/In the Name of God) can be said to protect you from the robbers who are the subjects of God. It is not a matter of humbleness or arrogance; it is a matter of showy dominance; who is apparently dominating the place, the relationships between people and those who have given up their minds to a handful of clergymen to remote-control them.

You're not supposed to answer your own questions. You must be no fun at a party.
Seek knowledge! Ask a Q you don't know the answer to!
