By doing this he testamenting keep himself away from evil and violate whole kit and caboodle.Then there is prayer of Allah Who is Master, proprietor, Sustainer, Provider, Guardian, Sovereign, Ruler, decision keepr and Organizer. Then it is added that He is the Master of the daytime of Judgment, therefrom, everyone is narrationable for his deeds. Mankind is only venerateer of the sea captain and for this reason, mankind is requesting for guidance in every walk of support. The guidance which make mankind favorable is required.

(Al-Fatiha1) This idiom is known as the bismillah. It is good to recite it in advance doing any action.The essence of the earn Baa The Baa in the Arabic language can have third different importationsWith With / In the name of AllahSeeking do Seeking jock of the name of AllahSeeking mercy Seeking blessing with the name of AllahThe inwardness of al-Rahman and al-RaheemBoth these names are derived from the same foundation letters raa, haa, meem which means to have mercy.They are thus similar in heart and both are connected to Allahs (SWT) lenience.The event that Allah (SWT) mentions two of His Names which have to do with Mercy, rather than Might and Power or so on, shows just how important this impute is.The difference in the midst of al-Rahman and al-Raheem is that al-Rahman refers to Allahs (SWT) Mercy to all of creation. It is His Mercy which is extended to both believers and disbelievers animals, and everything that exists.He says in the QuranMy Mercy encompasses all things. (Al-Araf 156)Al-Rahman wherefore indicates the extreme vastness of Allahs (SWT) Mercy. It is mentioned in a hadith that Allah (SWT) divided Mercy into degree centigrade procedures and sent down only one part to this dunya. It is from this one part of His Mercy that animals show mercy to their government issue (Sahih Muslim).Al-Raheem refers to Allahs (SWT) Mercy which is specific for the believers. He says in the Q uranAll Praise is due to AllahThe secant ayah is All eulogy be to Allah, the captain of all the worlds. (Al-Fatiha2)The Meaning of Hamd and the Difference amongst Hamd and ShukrHamd means praise and thankfulness. The scholars differed as to the affinity between the speech hamd and shukr. Some said that they both have the same meat.So, the meaning of hamd, in their view, is the same as shukr (gratitude). Hamd is something which moldiness be make with love and reverence, but shukr does not need this. Shukr is do in response to a favour which is done to a person but hamd is done simply because the one being praised and thanked is honorable of that.The Meaning of AalameenSome of the differing views some it are that it refers toEverything which exists other than Allah taaalaaMankind and the jinnThose things which have an intellect, and they are four mankind, jinn, angels, and devilsThose things which have soulsThe best view is the first one, the conclusion being ayah 23 and 24 of Surah Shuara. (23)Said Pharaoh, And what is the Lord of the worlds?(24) Moses said, The Lord of the heavens and earth and that between them, if you should be convinced.The Beneficent, The Most MercifulThe third ayah isThe Beneficent, The Most Merciful. (Al-Fatiha 3)There is repetition of these two names to show the grandeur of the quality of mercy.Also, when something is repeated in the Quran, then you should look at the ayah before it and after it, to see how they are related. In this case, the previous ayah mentioned that Allah (SWT) is the Rabb of all the worlds. So, He repeat the words, al-Rahman al-Raheem after that, shows us that His being the Rabb His victorious of and sustaining and providing for us is all part of His Mercy towards us.Master of the day of RewardThe fourth ayah isThe further Owner of the daytime of Recompense. (Al-Fatiha 3)The Meaning of MaalikThe first word of this ayah can be recited in two ways either as Maalik (with a madd after the meem) or as Malik (without the madd). Maalik means master, and it refers to milk the ownership of something.Malik means king, and it refers to mulk the dominion of a person.God is the Lord of the Day when all generations of mankind gather together on order to render an account of their conduct, and when each person will be finally rewarded or punished for his deeds.The comment of God as Lord of the Day of Judgement following the mention of his kind-heartedness and favor indicates that we ought to remember other aspect of God as well-namely, that He will judge us all, Hence, we ought not only to love Him for nourishing and sustaining us and for His compassion and mercy towards us, but also retain Him in awe because of His justice.You (Alone) We godlinessThe fifth ayah isYou (alone) we hero-worship and You (alone) we ask for help. (Al-Fatiha 5)At this point, there is a pouch in the Surah from informing us well-nigh Allah (SWT) and praising Him, to addressing Him.We worship means we obey. Worship is obedience and self-abasement.It means to humble yourself before Allah (SWT) and to submit to His Will. The ayah affirms the Lordship of Allah.Iyyaaka nastaeen means we seek help and success. Usually, in most sentences the verb comes first and then the bearing but in this ayah the object of the verb is mentioned first and then the verb to attach importance to it, to Allah (SWT).It also refers the status of the slave and his worship which is lower so it will come after mentioning the Lord, Allah (SWT).Guide us on the satisfying routeThe sixth ayah isGuide us on the Straight course of study. (Al-Fatiha 5)This ayah is a dua which we make to Allah (SWT). We ask Him to show us the Straight Path and to guide us on it, so that we will get His Guidance which draws us closer and nearer to Him. We need to press towards Allah (SWT) by doing good deeds and by staying away from all bad deeds which will distance us from Him.The Meaning of MustaqeemMustaqeem is derived from is taqaama, which means to be upright and correct. We already said that for a road to be a sirat it must be straight, so this adjective of mustaqeem again emphasizes the straight path. another(prenominal) meaning of mustaqeem is to remain firm without tilting. For example, a tree that is firmly grounded when the wind blows it is not affected by it. So, the Straight Path is a path on which tidy sum are firmly grounded.The Path of ThoseThe ordinal and final ayah isThe path of those you have blessed, not of those with anger on them, nor of those who are astray. (Al-Fatiha 7)This ayah is for the sight Allah has blessed and his guidance. This is explained by Allah (SWT) in another ayah where He says Whosoever obeys Allah and the Messenger, they are with those whom Allah has favored, the Prophets, the sincere, the martyrs and the righteous, and these are the best company.(Al-Nisa 69)So, the favored and blessed people are the Prophets, the righteous, the martyrs and the pious. And who are the people with anger on them and those who are astray? This is explained by the Prophet. Adi ibn Hatim (RA) asked him about those with anger on them and he replied that it refers to the Jews. He then asked him about those who are astray and he replied that it refers to the Christians.Impact of Surah Al-Fatiha on the life of a Muslim as handmaid of Allah.The recitation of Surat Al-Fatiha in every salat cause us to reflect deeply on our relationship with Rabb Al-Alameen it drive us to ensure that we are sincere to the meaning of the words we utter when we say You alone we worship, and in You alone we seek help.Reciting these words cause us to shape our lives consort to His commands and prohibitions, in preparation for meeting the Owner/King of the Day of Judgement. And above all else, it informs us and reminds us that all praise belongs to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.The hamd or praise over, the Surah draws economic aid to the all-encompassing providence of God, His mercy, and His justice and thus gives a comprehensive picture of noble attributes which operate to provide man with all that he needs to sustain and gear up the humanity in him and prevent him from sacking down in the scale of life.
