JzK for this. As relating to BasmAllah serving as divider between two surahs next to each other, such opinion can be stated about it serving the same purpose between a Surah above Surah Fatiha because there is no Surah above it which is why it is the Opener among other names. How can Surah Fatiha be 7 seven ayah often recited except that BasmAllah is part of it? If the Surah is divided between Our Lord equally, with Maliki yaumi Deen, the 4 the Ayah being what belongs to Allah, we can't ignore BasmAllah giving Allah 3 and the following 3 belong to us as they are duas. We shall only get 6 not 7. The Ayah of the Quran and or the Hadith about the seven often repeated verses will be disregarded and that is not permissible. The reality is that from BasmAllah to Maliki yaumi Deen make sense to belong to Our Merciful Creator and Maliki yaumi Deen fits the middle point just like Ayah 143 in Surah Baqarah fits the middle which call the Ummah the middle course nation. I will like the Surah Fatiha to be addressed directly based on the fact that the Muhajjirun and Ansaru RA prevailed on Muhawiyya RA when he didn't say the BasmAllah so much that they told him his Salah is stolen/deficient that he made a whole Salah to correct the oversight. It speaks directly to what the beloved prophet SA said about BasmAllah when not recited and we can see that it is proven by being an Ayah in Surah Naml. Finally, how can it be part of the Book of Allah except that it is recited since nothing in the Book of Allah except that it is revelation as the prophet SA stated that Malaika Jibril SA said BasmAllah first and went on to reveal what he was ordered to deliver. BasmAllah is not just for decoration from every viewpoint and what is not abrogated is that BasmAllah because it is always what Jibril SA said first.
