Ustaadh Asif explores the meaning of Surah al-Fatihah.
Key Issues:
• The significance of ‘Hamd’ and why it is so significant that Allah mentioned it as a noun.
• The meaning of ‘Rahman’ and ‘Raheem’ and the importance Arabic plays in understanding these words.
• The distinction between ‘YawmuDeen’ and ‘Yawmul Qiyamah’.
• The relationship between the ayah: ‘Iyyaka na’budu’ and the three previous ayahs.
• The reason that Allah mentions worship before seeking help?
• The reason for seeking guidance from Allah when we are praying to him already.
• The reason those who earn Allah’s anger are mentioned before those who went astray.
