بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـنِ الرَّحِيمِ
🔰WHY PRAISE WAS MENTIONED FIRST
🔹Since the praise of Allah SWT, Who is being sought for help, was mentioned, it was appropriate that one follows the praise by asking for his need. We stated that Allah SWT said, (One half for Myself and one half for My servant, and My servant shall have what he asked.)
🔹This is the best method for seeking help, by first praising the one whom help is sought from and then asking for His aid, and help for one’s self, and for his Muslim brethren by saying.
﴿اهْدِنَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ
(Guide us to the straight path.)
🔹This method is more appropriate and efficient in bringing about a positive answer to the pleas, and this is why Allah recommended this better method.
🔹Asking for help may take the form of conveying the condition of the person who is seeking help.
📖For instance, the Prophet Moses AS said, (My Lord! Truly, I am in need of whatever good that You bestow on me!)(28:24)
📖Also, one may first mention the attributes of whoever is being asked, such as what Dhun-Nun said (La ilaha illa Anta (none has the right to be worshipped but You (O Allah)), Glorified (and Exalted) be You (above all that they associate with You)! Truly, I have been of the wrongdoers) (21:87).
🔹Further, one may praise Him without mentioning what he needs.
🔹The Meaning of Guidance mentioned in the Surah The guidance mentioned in the Surah implies being directed and guided to success.
🔹Allah SWT said,
﴿اهْدِنَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ
(Guide us to the straight path)
meaning guide, direct, lead and grant us the correct guidance.
📖Also,(And shown him the two ways (good and evil)) (90:10), means, `We explained to him the paths of good and evil.’
📖Also, Allah SWT said (He (Allah) chose him (as an intimate friend) and guided him to a straight path) (16:121),
📖 and, (And lead them on to the way of flaming Fire (Hell)) (37:23).
📖Similarly, Allah SWT said, (And verily, you (O Muhammad ) are indeed guiding (mankind) to the straight path) (42:52),
📖And, (All praise and thanks be to Allah, Who has guided us to this) (7:43) meaning, guided us and directed us and qualified us for this end – Paradise.
🔰THE FAITHFUL ASK FOR AND ABIDE BY GUIDANCE
🔹If someone asks, “Why does the believer ask Allah SWT for guidance during every prayer and at other times, while he is already properly guided Has he not already acquired guidance”
🔹The answer to these questions is that if it were not a fact that the believer needs to keep asking for guidance day and night, Allah would not have directed him to invoke Him to acquire the guidance.
🔹The servant needs Allah SWT the Exalted every hour of his life to help him remain firm on the path of guidance and to make him even more firm and persistent on it. The servant does not have the power to benefit or harm himself, except by Allah’s permission. Therefore, Allah SWT directed the servant to invoke Him constantly, so that He provides him with His aid and with firmness and success.
🔹Indeed, the happy person is he whom Allah SWT guides to ask of Him. This is especially the case if a person urgently needs Allah’s help day or night. Allah said,
📖 (O you who believe! Believe in Allah, and His Messenger (Muhammad ), and the Book (the Qur’an) which He has sent down to His Messenger, and the Scripture which He sent down to those before (him)) (4:16)
🔹Therefore, in this Ayah Allah SWT commanded the believers to believe, and this command is not redundant since what is sought here is firmness and continuity of performing the deeds that help one remain on the path of faith.
📖Also, Allah commanded His believing servants to proclaim, (Our Lord! Let not our hearts deviate (from the truth) after You have guided us, and grant us mercy from You. Truly, You are the Bestower.) (3:8).
📖Hence, ﴿اهْدِنَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ
(Guide us to the straight way) means, “Make us firm on the path of guidance and do not allow us to deviate from it.”
🔰THE MEANING OF SIRAT AL MUSTAQIM-THE STRAIGHT PATH
🔹The Ummah agreed that Sirat Al-Mustaqim, is the clear path without branches, according to the language of the Arabs. The straight path mentioned in the Qur’an refers to Islam.

“AN AYAH A DAY KEEPS THE SHAITAAN AWAY”
🌷BISMILLAH HIR RAHMAN NIR RAHEEM.🌷
In the Name of Allah(swt) the Most Merciful and the Most Beneficial”.
💝 Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuhu 💝
`Those upon whom Allah has bestowed His grace’ are those mentioned in Surat An-Nisa’ (chapter 4), when Allah said,
(And whoever obeys Allah and the Messenger (Muhammad ), then they will be in the company of those on whom Allah has bestowed His grace, the Prophets, the Siddiqin (the truly faithful), the martyrs, and the righteous. And how excellent these companions are! Such is the bounty from Allah, and Allah is sufficient to know) (4:69)
Allah’s statement, (Not (the way) of those who earned Your anger, nor of those who went astray) meaning guide us to the straight path, the path of those upon whom you have bestowed Your grace, that is, the people of guidance, sincerity and obedience to Allah and His messenger
They are the people who adhere to Allah’s commandments and refrain from committing what He has prohibited.
But, help us to avoid the path of those whom Allah SWT is angry with, whose intentions are corrupt, who know the truth, yet deviate from it.
🏼Also, help us avoid the path of those who were led astray, who lost the true knowledge and, as a result, are wandering in misguidance, unable to find the correct path.
Allah SWT asserted that the two paths He described here are both misguided when He repeated the negation `not’. These two paths are the paths of the Christians and Jews, a fact that the believer should beware of so that he avoids them. The path of the believers is knowledge of the truth and abiding by it.
In comparison, the Jews abandoned practicing the religion, while the Christians lost the true knowledge. This is why `anger’ descended upon the Jews, while being described as `led astray’ is more appropriate of the Christians. Those who know, but avoid implementing the truth, deserve the anger, unlike those who are ignorant. The Christians want to seek the true knowledge, but are unable to find it because they did not seek it from its proper resources.
This is why they were led astray. We should also mention that both the Christians and the Jews have earned the anger and are led astray, but the anger is one of the attributes more particular of the Jews.
Allah SWT said about the Jews, (Those (Jews) who incurred the curse of Allah and His wrath)(5:60).
The attribute that the Christians deserve most is that of being led astray, just as
Allah SWT said about them, (Who went astray before and who misled many, and strayed (themselves) from the right path) (5:77).
🏼Also, when Zayd bin `Amr bin Nufayl went with some of his friends – before Islam – to Ash-Sham seeking the true religion, the Jews said to him, “You will not become a Jew unless you carry a share of the anger of Allah SWT that we have earned.” He said, “I am seeking to escape Allah’s anger.” Also, the Christians said to him, “If you become one of us you will carry a share in Allah’s discontent.” He said, “I cannot bear it.” So he remained in his pure nature and avoided worshipping the idols and the polytheistic practices. He became neither a Jew, nor Christian.
As for his companions, they became Christians because they found it more pure than Judaism. Waraqah bin Nawfal was among these people until Allah SWT guided him by the hand of His Prophet, when he was sent as Prophet, and Waraqah believed in the revelation that was sent to the Prophet Muhammad may Allah be pleased with him.
THE SUMMARY OF AL-FATIHAH
The honorable Surah Al-Fatihah contains seven Ayat including the praise and thanks of Allah, glorifying Him and praising Him by mentioning His most Beautiful Names and most high Attributes.
It also mentions the Hereafter, which is the Day of Resurrection, and directs Allah’s servants to ask of Him, invoking Him and declaring that all power and strength comes from Him.
It also calls to the sincerity of the worship of Allah alone, singling Him out in His divinity, beli eving in His perfection, being free from the need of any partners, having no rivals nor equals.
Al-Fatihah directs the believers to invoke Allah to guide them to the straight path, which is the true religion, and to help them remain on that path in this life, and to pass over the actual Sirat (bridge over hell that everyone must pass over) on the Day of Judgment. On that Day, the believers will be directed to the gardens of comfort in the company of the Prophets, the truthful ones, the martyrs and the righteous.
Al-Fatihah also encourages performing good deeds, so that the believers will be in the company of the good-doers on the Day of Resurrection.
The Surah also warns against following the paths of misguidance, so that one does not end up being gathered with those who indulge in sin, on the Day of Resurrection, including those who have earned the anger and those who were led astray.









WHY PRAISE WAS MENTIONED FIRST
Since the praise of Allah SWT, Who is being sought for help, was mentioned, it was appropriate that one follows the praise by asking for his need. We stated that Allah SWT said, (One half for Myself and one half for My servant, and My servant shall have what he asked.)
This is the best method for seeking help, by first praising the one whom help is sought from and then asking for His aid, and help for one’s self, and for his Muslim brethren by saying.
This method is more appropriate and efficient in bringing about a positive answer to the pleas, and this is why Allah recommended this better method.
Asking for help may take the form of conveying the condition of the person who is seeking help.
For instance, the Prophet Moses AS said, (My Lord! Truly, I am in need of whatever good that You bestow on me!)(28:24)
Also, one may first mention the attributes of whoever is being asked, such as what Dhun-Nun said (La ilaha illa Anta (none has the right to be worshipped but You (O Allah)), Glorified (and Exalted) be You (above all that they associate with You)! Truly, I have been of the wrongdoers) (21:87).
Further, one may praise Him without mentioning what he needs.
The Meaning of Guidance mentioned in the Surah The guidance mentioned in the Surah implies being directed and guided to success.
Allah SWT said,
Also,(And shown him the two ways (good and evil)) (90:10), means, `We explained to him the paths of good and evil.’
Also, Allah SWT said (He (Allah) chose him (as an intimate friend) and guided him to a straight path) (16:121),
and, (And lead them on to the way of flaming Fire (Hell)) (37:23).
Similarly, Allah SWT said, (And verily, you (O Muhammad ) are indeed guiding (mankind) to the straight path) (42:52),
And, (All praise and thanks be to Allah, Who has guided us to this) (7:43) meaning, guided us and directed us and qualified us for this end – Paradise.
THE FAITHFUL ASK FOR AND ABIDE BY GUIDANCE
If someone asks, “Why does the believer ask Allah SWT for guidance during every prayer and at other times, while he is already properly guided Has he not already acquired guidance”
The answer to these questions is that if it were not a fact that the believer needs to keep asking for guidance day and night, Allah would not have directed him to invoke Him to acquire the guidance.
The servant needs Allah SWT the Exalted every hour of his life to help him remain firm on the path of guidance and to make him even more firm and persistent on it. The servant does not have the power to benefit or harm himself, except by Allah’s permission. Therefore, Allah SWT directed the servant to invoke Him constantly, so that He provides him with His aid and with firmness and success.
Indeed, the happy person is he whom Allah SWT guides to ask of Him. This is especially the case if a person urgently needs Allah’s help day or night. Allah said,
(O you who believe! Believe in Allah, and His Messenger (Muhammad ), and the Book (the Qur’an) which He has sent down to His Messenger, and the Scripture which He sent down to those before (him)) (4:16)
Therefore, in this Ayah Allah SWT commanded the believers to believe, and this command is not redundant since what is sought here is firmness and continuity of performing the deeds that help one remain on the path of faith.
Also, Allah commanded His believing servants to proclaim, (Our Lord! Let not our hearts deviate (from the truth) after You have guided us, and grant us mercy from You. Truly, You are the Bestower.) (3:8).
Hence, ﴿اهْدِنَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ
THE MEANING OF SIRAT AL MUSTAQIM-THE STRAIGHT PATH
The Ummah agreed that Sirat Al-Mustaqim, is the clear path without branches, according to the language of the Arabs. The straight path mentioned in the Qur’an refers to Islam.









THE LINGUISTIC AND RELIGIOUS MEANING OF ‘IBAADAH
Linguistically, `Ibadah means subdued. In religious terminology, `Ibadah implies the utmost love, humility and fear.
THE MERIT OF STATING THE OBJECT OF THE ACTION BEFORE THE DOER OF THE ACT, AND THE MERIT OF THESE NEGATIONS
“You…”, means, we worship You alone and none else, and rely on You alone and none else. This is the perfect form of obedience and the entire religion is implied by these two ideas. Some of the Salaf said, Al-Fatihah is the secret of the Qur’an, while these words are the secret of Al-Fatihah.
The first part is a declaration of innocence from Shirk (polytheism), while the second negates having any power or strength, displaying the recognition that all affairs are controlled by Allah alone.
This meaning is reiterated in various instances in the Qur’an.
For instance, Allah SWT said, (So worship Him (O Muhammad ) and put your trust in Him. And your Lord is not unaware of what you (people) do.) (11:123),
(Say: “He is the Most Gracious (Allah), in Him we believe, and in Him we put our trust.”) (67:29),
((He alone is) the Lord of the east and the west; La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He). So take Him alone as Wakil (Disposer of your affairs)), (73:9)
We should mention that in this Ayah, the type of speech here changes from the third person to direct speech by using the Kaf in the statement Iyyaka (You). This is because after the servant praised and thanked Allah SWT, he stands before Him, addressing Him directly.
AL-FATIHAH INDICATES THE NECESSITY OF PRAISING ALLAH SWT. IT IS REQUIRED IN EVERY PRAYER
The beginning of Surat Al-Fatihah contains Allah’s praise for Himself by His most beautiful Attributes and indicates to His servants that, they too, should praise Him in the same manner. Hence, the prayer is not valid unless one recites Al-Fatihah, if he is able.
The Two Sahihs recorded that `Ubadah bin As-Samit said that the Messenger of Allah SAW said, There is no valid prayer for whoever does not recite Al-Fatihah of the Book.)
TAWHID AL ‘ULUHIYAH (You we worship) means, “It is You whom we single out, Whom we fear and Whom we hope in, You alone, our Lord, and none else.
TAWHID AR- RUBIYYAH (And You we ask for help from), to obey you and in all of our affairs.” This Ayah also contains Allah’s command to us to perform sincere worship for Him and to seek His aid concerning all of our affairs.
Allah SWT mentioned, ﴿إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ﴾ (You we worship) before, ﴿وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ﴾ (And You we ask for help from), because the objective here is the worship, while Allah’s help is the tool to implement this objective. Certainly, one first takes care of the most important aspects and then what is less important, and Allah knows best.
ALLAH CALLED HIS PROPHET(PEACE BE UPON HIM) HIS ‘ABD
Allah SWT said, (All praise and thanks be to Allah, Who has sent down to His servant (Muhammad ) the Book (the Qur’an)) (18:1),
(And when the servant of Allah (Muhammad ) stood up invoking Him (his Lord ـ Allah in prayer)), (72:19) and,
(Glorified (and Exalted) be He (Allah) (above all that they associate with Him) Who took His servant (Muhammad ) for a journey by night) (17:1
ENCOURAGING THE PERFORMANCE OF THE ACTS OF WORSHIP DURING TIMES OF DISTRESS
Allah SWT also recommended that His Prophet (PBUH) resort to acts of worship during times when he felt distressed because of the disbelievers who defied and denied him.
Allah SWT said, (Indeed, We know that your breast is straitened at what they say. So glorify the praises of your Lord and be of those who prostrate themselves (to Him). And worship your Lord until there comes unto you the certainty (i.e. death)) (15:97-99).
