Summary of Surah ‘Al-Faatihah (The Opening)
BisMIllaahir-Rahmaanir-Rahiim
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Praise be to Allah. He is Sufficient for us. Peace be on His
chosen Servants (Prophets and Messengers).
The present era goes through media (electronic as well as
print) and novel ideologies. Various thoughts are clothed in new words. And the
people run behind every new idea in the hope of finding a solution - peace; but
soon they face disappointment.
Muslims have an ideal system with them that can bring Peace
and Tranquility to the world but they are not familiar with it themselves. How
can they then guide other people? They are among those who feel as in the dark.
Holy Qur-’aan is the Revelation
of God Almighty, which was revealed upon The Last Messenger, Muhammad (SallAllaahu Alayhi Wa
Aalihii wassallam).The Sayings of the Prophet (SallAllaahu Alayhi Wa Aalihii
wassallam) are an explanation and commentary on Holy Qur-’aan.
There is, into them, Guidance for the human beings in every field of their
lives. We should learn the both things (Holy Qur-’aan and
the Sayings of the Messenger (SallAllaahu Alayhi Wa Aalihii wassallam).
‘The Opening’ (Surah Al-Faatihah) is
the first Chapter of Holy Qur-’aan. So, it has been named
as “the First Surah and The Opening”. This Chapter is just like an abstract of
the Holy Qur-’aan. The
subjects briefly earmarked in this section, have been explained in The
Holy Qur-’aan ,
hence it is called, the Mother of (Ummul) Qur-’aan, the
Foundation/essence of Qur-’aan.
When we recite this Chapter, “The Opening” we admit that all
Praises are for Allah, Who is Lord of the entire Worlds. So we should bear it
properly in our mind that when He is The Guarantor to fulfill our all
necessities, then we should never give up the Straight Path for completion of
our requisites at our own. We should never use unfair means like fraud,
deception or telling a lie etc. While we have been assured that completion of
our needs is eternal then why would we have to adopt the wrong way for it?
Then we recited that God Almighty is The Beneficent and The
Merciful. He showers down His uncountable mercy on every creature of the
universe, small or large, without distinction of Muslims or non-Muslims and
without sense of the good or the bad. He arranges fulfillment of all our needs.
His treasures of Kindness never end. He treats us with kindness and favor in
this world and after this world, He will give us place under the shadow of His
mercy in the next world too.
Then we learnt that He is Owner of the Day of Judgment. The
entire human beings will be standing with humility in the Court of Allah
Almighty, holding their conduct sheet in their hands, and will be either
granted rewards or punished according to their own deeds. We should fear from
that Day and do Good.
After that, we accepted, “we shall worship only that One
God, Who is Creator of all things”. We ask Him only for help in our every
matter. We return unto Him to solve all kinds of painful problems and
difficulties of our life, so that He show us the Straight Path, and we may gain
our goal by choosing that Path, so that we may reach our destination. This Path
should be of those; upon whom He showered His favor. We also supplicate to
save us from the path of those who earned His anger, and went astray. Amen.
