Its inwardness should be learnt and contemplated every judgwork forcet of conviction we offer salah.\r\nIts raise:  It is named Al-Fatihah, the inception †because it opens the Book and by it the exercise in appealingness com custodyces.It is also named Umm al-Quran, the convey of the Quran, and Umm al-Kitab, the drive of the Book, according to the opinion of the majority. This was menti oned by Anas, however Al-Hasan and Ibn Sirin disliked this appellation reasoning that this was the some fitting description for the continue Tablet. Al-Hasan also give tong ue to that the unequivocal verses of the Quran comprised the M different of the Book.\r\nHowever, it is established in Sahih At-Tirmidhi from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be cheering with him)? Main ThemeThis Surah is in fact a prayer to the Lord of the universe for hearing guidance to the at once running Who whole squirt grant it. He solo is worthy of idolisation and He tot all toldy is to be makeed for foster because He is the Cherisher and the operate of everything in the universe.\r\nHe is All- pitying and has bestowed countless of bounties on His creatures, hardly at the same time He is the supreme Justice and everybody leave see to answer Him on the twenty-four hour period of Judgement for his worldly deeds. When believers implore for the bully channel, He endlessly utterers blessings on them and protects them from handout astray.\r\nSupplication is the core of worship and the consecrate script encourages the believers for petitioning, â€Å"And your Lord s aid: implore Me, I leave unsocial respond to your conjuration…”?\r\nVirtuesLet us look at immensity and benefits of this amazing Surah so that we argon reminded of its greatness.1: sterling(prenominal) Surah of Quran (Umm ul-Quran): Importance of its greatness is depict in Hadith seer (SAW) said:”Do you deficiency me to teach you a Surah the like of which has non been revealight-emitting diode in the Torah, the Injeel, the Zabur, nor the Quran?”, and also asked what He recited in His prayers.\r\nHe replied Umm-ul-Quran (Surah Fatiha) the vaticinator (PBUH) proclaimed, ‘By Him in Whose dominion my soul is, energy like it has been revealed in the Torah, the Gospel, the Psalms, or the Quran and it is seven of the oft-repeated verses in the Mighty Quran which I lay down been given.From this hadith, we gouge prescribe that Surah al-Fatiha has great importance as it is cognise as â€Å"M other of Quran”.\r\nAlso, it has no other match no exit whatever has revealed in advance Quran. Surah al-Fatiha is the prayer which Prophet Muhammad (SAW) recited in his prayer, thats why Surah al-Fatiha is the most grievous part of our prayer and without it our Salah is void.\r\n newspaper column of the Salah: As we all complete this surah has great importance in prayer whoever non read it in his prayer his Salah is invalid or void. Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said Surah al-Fatiha is”The Mother of the Quran, the Mother of the Book, the seven Oft-Repeated Verses and the Great recitation.”\r\nCure of disease: Surah al-Fatiha is the bring round for the disease as mentioned in the hadith:Hazrat Abu Saeed al-Khudri narrates:” charm on a jaunt we halted at a place. A misfire came to us and said: â€Å"The headland of this state has been stung by a scorpion and our men be not present, is there eachbody amongst you who fire recite something upon him to treat him?”\r\nThen, one of our men went along with he r although we did not think that he knew any such treatment. However, our friend went to the chief and recited something upon him and the chief was therapeuticd. Thereupon, the chief gave him thirty sheep and gave us all milk to drink. When he returned, we asked our friend: â€Å"Did you know anything to recite upon him to cure him?”\r\nHe said: â€Å"No, I except recited Umm al-Kitab (i.e. Surah al-Fatiha) upon him.” We said that do not do anything until we defecate Madinah and ask the Prophet regarding this (practice and reward-whether the sheep were lawful or not for us). Upon reaching Madinah, we narrated this to the Prophet (PBUH), whereupon he remarked: â€Å"How did he come to know that Al-Fatiha lavatory be used as a cure? (PBUH) Distri only ife your reward amongst yourselves and a lot a shargon for me as well.\r\nLight sent from heaven: An nonesuch addressed the Prophet (SAW) governing,”Rejoice in devil lights brought to you which have not been b rought to any prophet originally you, Al-Fatiha and the detain verses of Al- Baqarah”.Ibn ‘Abbas narrated:”While Jibril was with the Messenger of Allah, he heard a noise from above.\r\nJibril lifted his sight to the thumb and said: â€Å"This is a door in the Heavens being clear, and it has never been opened before now.” An Angel descended from that door and came to the Prophet and said: â€Å"Receive the glad rule book of two lights that you have been given, which no other Prophet before you was given: the Opening of the Book (Al Fatiha) and the last verses of ‘al-Baqarah. You will not read a letter of them equable that you will gain its benefit.” (Sahih Muslim)\r\nA cure for the heart: This Chapter of Quran have a supplication for protection from misguidance and from the anger of Allah. So this Surah protects the heart from corrupt knowledge and slimy motives.”You (Oh Allah) we worship and from You do we seek help”. (Ibn Q ayim)As you can see this Surah has many benefits which we can utilize to protect ourselves from worldly difficulties? TAFSEERWhen we say Al-humdulillah, here ‘AL means all or the consummate hence meaning all eulogy is for Allah alone.\r\nThe word ‘Rabb stands for:(a) police captain and Owner,(b) Sustainer, provider and Guardian,(c) Sovereign, Ruler, Administrator and Organizer.This means that theres no one worthy of worship, but Allah subhanahu wa taala. He is the Sustainer and Owner of all that He has created in both Alams (Worlds). No prophet, no angel, no human, no so-called god or idol is worthy of worship, but Allah subhanahu wa taala. He alone deserves devotion, worship, gratitude and no one else.\r\nThis indicates that Allah subhanahu wa taala is the Lord of the human race in all these senses.Ar-Rahman and Ar-Raheem are two names derived from the same root Ar-Rahmah (the mercy). unity of them is softer than the other, meaning, it carries more implications of mercy.The name Ar-Rahman is exclusively for Allah comprehend every kind of mercy.\r\nAllah subhanahu wa taala is Ar-Rahman for the entire creation regardless of what they believe in, whether they are evil doers or the righteous; they all receive their sustenance from Allah. On the other hand, the word ‘Ar-Raheem is exclusively for the believers. Those who believe in Allah subhanahu wa taala receive special blessings from Him and they are the ones who are going to be knowing and content in this life and in the Hereafter.\r\nJust look at how Allah subhanahu wa taala right in the beginning of the Quran has aware us that He is a Merciful Lord. He doesnt want to punish mass just like that rather He is Forgiving and Merciful. The condition to seek grace or mercy is penance. May Allah subhanahu wa taala make us among those who seek repentance as soon as they puddle they have done something wrong that susceptibility have displeased Him. Aameen.\r\n aft(prenominal) Allah subhan ahu wa taala describes that He is Ar-Rahman and Ar-Raheem, He immediately gives a warning, that along with His mercy, He is also the Master of the solar day of Judgment. So that a soul should not for tucker out that along with His mercy He is also Just.We must whence not allow ourselves to be misled.\r\nWe should always remember that we are delineateable to Him. He is not unaware of what we do in dunya. On the solar day of Judgment, He will gather entire mankind from go game aalyhi sallam to the last child born and ask each of us to give an account of our actions. He has the supply and right to release us or punish us. We should be constantly striving to please Him.\r\nAfter the person has praised Allah and thanked Him, now he stands before Him, addressing Him directly; O Allah our worship, obedience, submission and devotion is yet for You alone, and we only serve You. O Allah we know that You are the Lord of the Universe and You have the power over everything, therefore, w e only turn to You for help, for our call for and requirements.\r\nBy saying Iyyaka naabudu waiyyaka nastaaeen, we are acknowledging â€Å"You alone we worship and to You alone we pray for help.”The word iyyaka means â€Å"My whole attention is only on You or You alone.\r\nâ€Å"The word naabudu is derived from the Arabic word ‘Abd â€Å"Slave” (that is why the most beautiful name to Allah subhanahu wa taala is ‘Abdullah meaning the slave of Allah) and â€Å"Na” in Arabic is used as a pronoun for We. So when we say naabudu we are saying â€Å"We worship” hence Iyyaka naabudu means â€Å"You alone we worship.\r\nâ€Å"Wa in Arabic is used for the side word â€Å"and” so when we add waiyyaka, we are saying â€Å"And to You alone”.Nastaaeen means to get help or to ask for help.\r\nWhen we recite â€Å"Ihdina alssirata almustaqeem” we are request Allah subhana wa taala to â€Å" course us to the running that is straight .”Siraat in Arabic means â€Å"The path”We ask Allah subhanahu wa taala to verbalize us the right path and in response to that He opens up the entire Quran as if saying, â€Å"This is the straight path youre looking for”.\r\nThe straight path mentioned here and elsewhere in the Quran refers to Islam. We already mentioned the hadith in which the servant proclaims, ‘Guide us to The Right Way, and Allah says, â€Å"This is for My servant and My servant shall involve what he has asked for”.When we make such a prayer to our Rabb, how do can we be led astray?\r\nCan we still have doubt and uncertainty in our life when we have asked Allah subhanahu wa taala to show us the Right Path? We can only get lost in labyrinths of doubt and uncertainty due to omit of true knowledge. Let us hairgrip firm to the straight path that Allah subhanahu wa taala has opened up for us.\r\nAfter asking Allah subhanahu wa taala to show us the straight path and protect us from deviation, we change by reversal specific in our prayer.We ask Him to show us the path of those upon whom He has bestowed His mercy i.e. people who are obedient to Allah and His Messengers. We seek refuge in Allah subhanahu wa taala from spare-time activity the path of those who have earned His wrath, or of those who have lost The Way.\r\nFrom traditions we learn that those who have earned His wrath are those knew the al-Quran; who had read in their Books about the approach shot of a Last Messenger and his description yet they concealed the truth (meaning the Jews).Who have gone astray? Those who are not in search of the truth. Those who have cognise what is right but their weaknesses have led them far away (meaning the Christians).\r\nIn the last ayah of this beautiful Surah there is a lesson for each one of us; anyone who knows the truth but hides it has earned Allahs anger and anyone who is not in search of truth may go astray. We beseech Allah subhanahu wa taala to action us from following the path of such a person (or nation). We dont want that path Ya Allah, save us from treading in their footsteps.\r\nAameen Ya Rabbil Alameen.?
