Suratul Fatiha - Hujjat Workshop

SUMMARYSuratul Fatiha can be divided into three sections.i) The first section includes the opening line up to Malikiyowm ad Deen. It is an exposition of reality. You findyourself awakened suddenly and you say: I am ingratitude, praise to Allah, Who has these attributes.You are inspired after having been in wilderness andbewilderment, so you say, Al hamdu lillahi rabb al'alamin, out of contentment and sanity.ii) In the next section, (from Iyyaka na'budu wa iyyakanastain to Ihdina as-Sirat al-Mustaqim), you are theadorer, the abd. This now is transaction and demand. Itis a request, it is action. In this section the heart criesout.iii) The third part is like the echo of reality in order toconfirm what you are saying and to answer yourquestion.www.qfatima.com Page 88
