Number one, the Salado SUTA Hill Kareem Amma Bartha are the bIllahi min ash shaytani R rajim Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim, rubbish Rania, Saudi were Sidley Emery wash Lula of the Tamil assignee of ko who co de Orban as in our Ilma. All right, so yesterday, we learned a little bit about sort of the Fatiha I told you about the importance of Surah Fatiha
and how the surah is very unique. It's very different from the rest of the sorrows of the Quran. That it's so important that Salah is incomplete without the recitation of this surah which shows how important the surah is. There is a Hadith of the Prophet salallahu Salam, from which we also learn about the importance of the surah. This hadith is narrated in Sahih Muslim, we learned that even our basketball Dylon who he narrated that the messenger of allah sallallahu sallam, once he was sitting and the end of the breathe, he was there. Remember that the energy breathe, he would bring the revelation to the Prophet salallahu Salam. And he would also teach him at the command of Allah
subhanaw taala the matters of the religion. So while the Prophet salallahu Salam was sitting with Gibreel, he heard a noise from above a huge noise from above from the sky. Gibreel lifted his sight to the sky and said that this is a door in heaven being open, and it has never been opened before. A door in the heaven has been opened which has never been opened before.
And found that door and Angel descended and came to the Prophet sallallahu sallam. And that angel he said to the Prophet sallallahu Sallam received the good news of two lights that you have been given, which have not been given to any other prophet before you
receive the good news of two lights, which are being given to you, and they have not been given to any other prophet before you. What are they 30 Hottel keytab, the opening of the book and the last ayat of surah Al Baqarah,
two lights, one is which one Surah Fatiha, and the other is the last ayat of surah baqarah. And they're so special that they were only given to the Prophet sallallahu sallam, and the angel said you will not read a letter of them, but will gain its benefits.
When a person reads even one letter of certain Fatiha, he receives its benefit the surah is very Mobarak it's full of blessings. That how when a person recites it, then yes, there's a joy for recitation of the Quran. But there is also a special benefit as we learn from this hadith which is reported in Sahih Muslim.
Now Inshallah, we will do the opposite of surah. You know what the worth of Sita means?
explanation. So it's the explanation of what
of the Quran.
So we're going to study that the theory of Surah Fatiha now, the meaning, the explanation of the surah. Many of us have a rough idea of what the surah means, don't we? I'm sure many of you also know the translation, if not the word toward at least somewhat understanding of what the surah means. Let's go a bit deeper. What do these words actually mean? What do these verses actually mean? How are we supposed to understand them? How are we supposed to relate with them and how are we supposed to implement them? So let's begin our oh the villa him in a Shavon Allah Jeem Bismillah Hiroshima and over him lesson number one Surah Fatiha is number one to seven.
So the Fatiha has 25 words and it has 113 kalimat letters, or haruf.
This surah is a murky Surah
what it means by a mucky surah is that it's a sutra that was revealed before the Prophet sallallahu Sallam migrated from Mecca to Medina.
sutras that are known as MKi what are they those which are revealed before the Prophet saw a lot of cinema Hegira and Magne Surahs Madani from Medina which ones are the those that were revealed after the Prophet sallallahu Sallam migrated to Medina McKee and Madani don't represent the place. But what do they represent? The era, the time period? So from Mulkey don't think it was revealed in Makkah, and for Madani, don't think it was revealed in Medina.
This surah is fifth to be revealed in chronology
which I thought were the first ones
if
caught up.
And this is the fifth Surah to be revealed. And it's the first Surah that was revealed in its entirety.
Al Fatiha What does Fatiha literally mean?
The opening, so this surah is called Al Fatiha. Why? Because it is the opening of the Quran. This is the surah from which the Quran begins when you open up the Quran, what do you find Surah Al Fatiha and Fatiha is from Fatiha and further is to open something. And this surah is also known as Al Fatiha because the recitation of the Quran in Salah before you actually started reciting the Quran what do you have to recite Surah Fatiha so it's in a way opening off the Quran as well.
This
is a very unique Surah it's a very special sort of how is it unique? How is it different? How is it special? That first of all, it's a major part of Salah How is it a major part of Surah You have to read it in every single locker whether you're performing the font salah or the Sunnah, or the novel or the Western and you find out you're praying every single raka What do you have to read
Surah Fatiha if you don't read it is your Salah complete. It's not complete any other solar if you don't read it will your Salah be complete, of course. But when it comes to Surah Fatiha, you have to read it. What is it sure that the surah is very very important.
And if you think about it, sunnah is also very important after shahada Thane what is the most important pillar of Islam?
Salah Salah is not complete without Surah Fatiha. This shows to us the importance of Surah Fatiha and through the Fatiha is unique in another way as well. That this was also to clear meaning if you recite it over a person who has said they're cured if Allah subhanaw taala wishes.
So the surah is very unique. And this is the reason why the surah has many names as well. When something has many names, what does it show? It's very special.
For example, there could be a child and they have multiple names. One person calls them something that the person calls them something what is it show? Everybody loves them. So when something has many names, it shows how important it is. The Quran has many names. Allah subhanaw taala himself has many names. Similarly the Surah Surah Fatiha also has many names. There is the name Omar Quran, the mother of Quran, the Prophet sallallahu sallam said Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen omole Quran were omole kita was several masani well Quran or leam
that Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen meaning Surah Fatiha is Omar Al Quran. Secondly, Omar Al Kitab. Omar Quran Mother of the Quran meaning Mother of the recitation, and Omar Al Kitab. Mother of the Book. By the way, what does the word mother mean? In Arabic? Sometimes it gives the meaning of the source the foundation of something. This surah is the foundation of recitation. How is it so, in the Salah, you begin your recitation by reciting the surah. First, it's the mother of the book. It's the foundation of the book which book the Quran, how in what sense that this surah covers many, many important themes. For example, it covers the hate, the Oneness of Allah subhanaw taala, it covers
about the Day of Judgment. It includes the mention of the Day of Judgment, it includes the mention of different types of people. So if a person understands this sutra, it's as though he has understood a major part of the Quran. Why? Because all of these major themes, where are they? They're all in the Surah. So, this is why the surah is also called omole Kitab, the mother of the book, there are some other names of the surah which are a Salah, the prayer. Similarly, the surah is also called a Shiva, the cure, why is it called a Shiva? You read it, it could be a source of Shiva, it could be a source of cure for you if Allah subhanaw taala wishes to give that to you. Similarly,
the surah is also called unhemmed the praise because it begins with the praise of Allah. It's also called assess the foundation, and it's also called Fatiha toolkit. Opening of the book to the surah has many different names. And this shows to us the importance of the surah and how important is the surah we learn that a boozer YBNL more Allah, He said, I was praying in the masjid when the messenger SallAllahu Sallam called me. So he was praying in the masjid the Prophet SAW
A lot of them called him. He didn't respond. Why?
He was praying. He was in Salah. When he finished the prayer he went to the prophets autoloaders center. And he said to him, I'm sorry I was praying for you called me. The Prophet sallallahu sallam said to him, Did Allah subhanaw taala not say respond to Allah and the messenger when they call you. So why did you not respond to me?
You might be wondering, but if you're praying, you can't possibly break your Salah. Remember that you was praying, nestled Salah when you pray Napoletano for the Sahaba of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam called him they were supposed to respond to him. So anyway, the buffets on a lot is an upset to him. Should I teach you the greatest Surah of the Quran?
I will teach you the surah before you leave the Masjid. So when they were leaving the masjid, he asked the Prophet salallahu Salam, you had said to me that you're going to teach me the greatest suit of the Quran the Prophet sallallahu sallam said to him, Al hamdu lillahi rabbil aalameen are the seven Withania the immense Quran which I was given, meaning the greatest Surah of the Quran is with Surah Surah Fatiha
This is why it's so important that we know what it means. Just think about it. We recite it so many times every single day. Every time we pray we recite the surah so it's not important we know what it means.
Of course it's important
so let's begin to Surah
arugula him in a shape on Allah Jeem Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim
What did I say? Are the bIllahi min ash shaytaan eulogy? Is it necessary to say oh the below ministerial vinylidene Before we recite the Quran
if you think about it, what we're about to do is something that's very good. We think that you have on it associated with doing bad things right? And when it comes to good things, one will automatically be for know when you're about to do something good. Cheban becomes even more active. You know what he's going to do? distract you. So what time is it by the way? Okay, only 20 minutes left good.
seminary Chapin might put negative thoughts in your mind. Why do we have to study the Quran? It's not the most important thing on my list right now. So shall form becomes extremely active when a person is doing something good. This is why when we're reciting the Quran, Allah subhanaw taala commands us for either conducting Khurana faster right below him in a shape on regime.
Everybody say with me or Oh they'll be laying him in a shape on it. Well, Jean
what does our oh the bIllahi min ash shaytani ology mean? It means I seek refuge in Allah from shaitan who is the accursed? from shaitan who is accursed? shaytaan who is far away? How is Shavon accursed? How was he far away? He's expelled from the Mercy of Allah. He's expelled. He's far away from doing anything good.
Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim.
Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim, what does it mean?
That I begin with the name of Allah, meaning I mentioned the name of Allah. That's what I begin with and who is Allah of Ramadan? And Anwar he be Entirely Merciful, and the Especially Merciful.
If you think about it, whenever we start something new,
what do we rely on? Our strength, our ability, our intellect, but Allah subhanaw taala tells us that when you begin this or when you begin something important, who should you rely on? Allah? subhanaw taala. This is why it's necessary that we say Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim before doing anything that is important. Anything that is useful, that is beneficial. What are we supposed to do? say Bismillah before actually starting that, the Prophet sallallahu sallam said, any act that has not begun with Bismillah is devoid of blessing. It's not going to be blessed. It's not going to be successful. It's not going to be beneficial. Why? Because the name of Allah panaderia was not mentioned. So this is
why when we begin the recitation of the Quran, the reading of the Quran, we seek refuge with Allah again, Stefan. And we also mentioned Allah subhanaw taala has named seeking His blessing seeking his assistance, seeking His mercy, His help Bismillah R Rahman Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen All praise is due to Allah. Why is all praise due to Allah because he is the Lord of the worlds
unhemmed What does Hamed mean? Praise
but remember, that hand is not just any kind of praise.
It is praise that is true. That is sincere
that the person who is being praised actually deserves
it is done out of love. It's done out over
Specht, this is a condition.
Hound is not just any kind of praise. In the Arabic language are many words used for praise, for example, thin mud. But how it is unique in the sense that it must be done with love. And it must be done with respect. These are two conditions. Because if it's not an out of love, if it's not an out of respect, is it sincere praise? No. For example, a person could be praising another just to get some benefit out of them. You want your child to be a property, you say, Oh, you're such a good boy. You're such a good girl. I know you won't do this. Why are you praising them so that they listen to you?
And you might think otherwise, that they're not always a good girl. But you say you're such a good girl. Why you want some benefit out of them? Hound is praise that the person who is being praised actually deserves it's true.
So Al hamdu, all prayers, sincere praise, true praise, out of love out of gratitude, out of respect. Who deserves it? Lay for Allah. Doesn't mean we don't praise other people. Doesn't mean others don't deserve any praise. Is that what this means? No. You see a loss of panel data because he's the most perfect one, for him is the most perfect praise. You understand? And people they're not perfect. So for them is also imperfect praise. So when we say Alhamdulillah all praises for Allah, it doesn't mean that others don't deserve any praise. No, they do. However, it's according to how much they deserve.
You understand? So Alhamdulillah he, why all praise for Allah because he is Rob Bell Alameen The Lord of the Worlds. But
what does the word love mean?
Lord Sustainer
the word love is used for the one who has three qualities,
three abilities.
First of all of Hulk, Hulk means to create. Secondly of monk Mulk is ownership. And thirdly after to be meaning of planning, sustaining, looking after managing the affairs.
So Rob, who is Rob, first of all, Holic, the Creator. Secondly, Malik the owner. And thirdly, muda bit, the Sustainer.
So Allah, He is the ROB of what allowed me the worlds and I live in is from the word anonymous assign. It's also used for a flag. When you see a flag, it represents its country, its team, right? It's a sign. So similarly, Allah mean, what is it? It refers to the entire creation? Allah al Amin applies to everything besides Allah subhanaw taala. Because everything, every creature, what does it point to? The existence of its creator? The ability, the perfection, the knowledge, the wisdom, the power, of who of ALLAH SubhanA data. So I had Amin as well, the entire creation that put these words together. Rob Bell, Al Amin, he is the Lord of what the world's the entire creation at the beginning
of the I O we learned and hamdulillahi rabbil aalameen All praise for Allah. Why is all praise for Allah? Why does he deserve it? Why is he worthy of it? Because first of all, he created the entire creation. He would just make one cake and you're so proud about and everybody to praise you at the table. Doesn't happen with us. Of course it does.
But Allah subhanaw taala He is the Creator of everything. Every single human being every beautiful flower you've ever seen. Every beautiful cloud you've ever seen. Every beautiful sunrise and sunset you've ever seen. Every single tree and every single color and every single bird every single star, anything and everything who has made it? Allah subhanaw taala. He is the Holic and on top of that he's also the medic. He's also the owner. Just imagine how wealthy he is. Imagine how lucky he is. Imagine how powerful he is. Someone who is wealthy, someone who is powerful, don't we praise them? Yes, we do. Don't really show any respect to them. Yes, we do. But Allah subhanaw taala he is the
Funny, he is the richest of all, because he is the Malecon. wolky is the Malik of the entire heavens in the earth. This is why Alhamdulillah
and not just the Malik, but he also takes care of looks after the entire creation as well. Just think about it. If there is a person who is managing a company, managing a factory, managing an office, what position does he get?
Manager? And with that title with that position, aren't they honorable? Don't they deserve respect? Yes. But just think about it. There are so many managers out there, but how many times have they actually made mistakes? Many times? And how many times is it that the people who are working under them actually praise them? You know, true, sincere praise? Hardly. Why? Because they're human beings, they're imperfect. But when it comes to Allah subhanaw taala. He is managing, looking after sustaining every single thing wrought by rebou is to cause something to grow to nurture it, like for example, a seed. Look after it, take care of it, nurture it, make it grow until it reaches its stage
of completion.
So ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada. He doesn't just do this with people, that when a woman conceives Allah subhanaw taala is the one who is making that child grow into such a beautiful child. And finally, when the child comes out, Allah subhanaw, taala, nurtures that child makes him grow so that he becomes an adult, not just one person, not just two people, not just you and I, but every single human being. And not just every single human being, every single plant that every single bird, every single creature who provides for it, Allah, who has made it grow, who has designed it, Allah.
This is why he deserves praise. This is why we're supposed to thank him.
This is why we're supposed to remember him. This is why we're supposed to worship Him. Because Alhamdulillah he robbed bill and Amin, oh, all praise for Allah, Who is the Lord of the Worlds?
If you think about
the master,
the manager or someone who was at the topmost authority, what do you think about
power punishment? But how does the last panel data describe himself?
In Bismillah, also, what do we learn? He is a rock miner him over here also, what do we learn? Oh, man, Rahim. Allah subhanaw taala. He describes himself with his two most beautiful names over here. And what are those names of recommend? The Most Merciful of Rahim, the always All Merciful. And if you think about it, why is it the two names that mean almost the same thing are mentioned in the same verse? Have you ever thought about that?
That why is merciful mentioned twice?
Have you ever thought about that? You must have the thing is that man and other him yes to give the meaning of mercy. But there are different rock man is the one who has a lot of mercy. It refers to his attribute of mercy.
And other him gives us the meaning of the one who shows mercy.
So I'll recommend is pointing towards his attribute. And a Rahim is pointing towards this action. He has the attribute of mercy. And he also shows mercy.
That also gives the meaning of the one who is merciful to everyone.
And Rahim gives meaning that he is merciful in a special way to only certain people. What does that mean?
That all right man, he is merciful towards the entire creation. Those who believe in Him, those who don't believe in Him. Have you learned about the story of Pharaoh?
Pharaoh was extremely arrogant. He completely rejected Allah subhanaw taala marked at Masada Salam competed with him, challenged him, insulted him, insulted Allah subhanaw taala as well. But Did Allah subhanaw taala disable him from ever taking a breath? Did Allah subhanaw taala take his kingdom away immediately?
No, Allah subhanaw taala let him live.
And he punished him. After a while. There are so many people who completely reject Allah subhanaw taala. But Allah subhanaw taala still shows mercy to them.
Similarly, their animals, how can they have affection for one another mercy for one another. You see a lion, if it sees a goat, it will kill the goat. But that same lioness will be very affectionate towards its child.
So this mercy that Allah subhanaw taala shows to all of his creation in the general sense, the word of karma and shows and Rahim what does that show that he is merciful in a very
specially to certain people.
And this special mercy is for who? Those who seek mercy how to seek His mercy, by believing in Him by obeying Him by trying to do those things which will please him. So, Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen R Rahman Al Rahim, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful. Now, this is something very important that we must understand, right at the beginning of the Quran, Allah subhanaw taala has attributes of our man of Rahim are both mentioned twice? What does that show that a person can never ever despair of the mercy of Allah, the person can never think I'm so evil, I can never be forgiven. I'm so bad. There's no hope for me. Some of you might be thinking or somebody else might
say to you, that you're studying the Quran after you've done all of that, like seriously. And you might wonder yourself, I'm not supposed to be a good person. I've done this, I've done that. No, Allah is very merciful. No person can ever ever despair of His mercy.
So Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen en Rahman Al Rahim.
And at the same time he has Maliki Oh with the
the Master of the Day of Judgment. And because He is the Master of the Day of Judgment, and he is the Lord of the world. What do we do a yak and our Buddha, what a year can a serene we seek your help. We seek your assistance. We worship you alone. And we also seek your assistance. This is why Oh Allah, you guide us in a Serato Mr. Can you show us the right way? What is the right way? So I'll put Medina and r&r Lee in the back of those people whom you have blessed. Heidel, Magoo. vrna him with a burly none of those on whom you were angry, nor of those people who are straight.
Okay, let's listen to the recitation of the solar everyone stand up. We listen to the recitation and then we sit back down immediately. Okay.
Oh,
in a shame on you're watching
Bismillah your Walkman you're walking
Al Hamdulillah.
Learn your washing Maliki.
II cannot
sleep off. Stubby slit off on levena and non darling no more.
One more.
Let's continue with the theme of Surah Fatiha
Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim, Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil aalameen. All praise for Allah, Who is the Lord of the Worlds? Why is our praise for Allah subhanho data? Why is he deserving of praise? Why should we praise him? Why should we honor him? Why should we thank him? Because he is the Lord of the Worlds. And Allah Allah mean includes you and I, does it not? It includes all of us. If he is the Lord of the Worlds, what does it mean? He is my Lord and your Lord to if he is a Creator of the heavens and the earth, then what does it mean? He has also created me and also created you.
You know, sometimes I see that, you know, for example, you go to a party, you go to a wedding, and people are dressed up, and they're constantly admiring their hair, you can tell by the way they're, you know, constantly passing their fingers through, or they're constantly looking at the mirror or constantly going to the washroom appreciating themselves, isn't it? Similarly, if somebody has beautiful hands constantly, they're looking at their nails. Constantly. They're admiring their fingers. Constantly. They're looking at the mirror, looking at their eyebrows or their lips or their nose or whatever. If you think about it, you're so happy about your features, who gave them to you?
Who made them? Allah subhanaw taala says, should we not thank him? Should we not praise Him? We thank people, isn't it so? But we should thank Allah subhanaw taala even more, because everything we have, from our bodies, to our intellect, to our feelings, to our families, to the wealth that we have the food that we enjoy every pleasure that we have everything we benefit from who has given it to us, Allah subhanaw taala This is why Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen
All prayers for Allah who is the Lord of the worlds
and sometimes when you go out and look at the beauty that Allah subhanaw taala has created the detail in every single creature. It's astounding. It's amazing.
I just had my baby a month ago. And even now when I look at her I'm fascinated. You know, I look at her hands, and her nails, tiny nails just yesterday I was trying to trim her nails was very difficult. But I was amazed at, you know, the size of the nails, but the perfection that Allah subhanaw taala has created them with
the toes, the eyes, every part of the body is so amazing. And then you wonder, where was it created in the womb? Hidden in darkness in blood? Isn't that amazing? So who has made this? Who has done this? Allah subhanaw taala. And he hasn't just done this with one person, but for every single one of us. This is why Alhamdulillah you're all praise for Allah, the Lord of the Worlds. He deserves praise he deserves thanks. And we see that because Alhamdulillah Europa Alameen Allah subhanaw taala deserves praise in every situation that we're in. You might say that yes, when something's good. Yeah, I want to say Alhamdulillah. But I don't like the way my hands are. I don't like the way my
eyes are. I don't like the way my nose is somebody might complain. Somebody might think like that. But the fact is, that Allah deserves praise in every situation. Whether you like it or you don't like it. Why? Because Allah no matter what he has done, he has done it with perfection and he has done it for a reason. There's some wisdom behind it. There is some benefit in it.
That perhaps we cannot see. Perhaps it's not clear to us, but it is there. So Allah subhanaw taala deserves praise in every situation. This is why we see that the Prophet sallallahu Sallam whenever something good happened whenever he received a blessing, he would say Alhamdulillah be near Murthy, heat Muttahida Timo slowly heard that Alhamdulillah all Praise to Allah, by His blessing, the good things are completed the good things are perfected. And 111. Here Muttahida Timo slyly has, and whenever something not so good happened, then he would say Alhamdulillah he, Isla coolly hurl all Praise to Allah in every situation, in every circumstance that I could be in.
Because Allah deserves praise. I don't see the benefit. I might not be able to recognize it. But there is a reason why Allah subhanaw taala has done what he has done. So and Hamdulillah he are now currently had. And you know what, this is so amazing that when you are going through a tough situation, a difficult situation and you remember Alhamdulillah Allah Kohli has, it gives you patience,
doesn't it? Think about it, try it. Just a personal example. Yesterday, I was trying to put my baby to sleep and she was taking a very, very long time. And I was getting frustrated. Obviously you can imagine anybody who's tired wants to sleep. A child is not allowing them to sleep. And at that time, I kept telling myself at hamdulillah Cooley house hungry Allah Allah Cooley had that, okay, if the child is not letting me sleep Hamdulillah I have the blessing of a child. Isn't that a huge blessing? It's a huge blessing. So whenever a person is going through difficulty, and he acknowledges the fact that Allah deserves praise, even now that it makes him positive, then you
don't just focus on the negative things that are happening, but you focus on the good things that are happening. Because it's quite possible that if you get what you want, you might not be able to do something else. That's very important at the moment. So remember the statement memorize the statement can everybody say it with me? Alhamdulillah he,
Isla Coonley Hal.
Write it down and remember it remind one another as well. And 100 Allah, Allah Cooley Hal, So alhamdulillah hirable al Amin, all Praise to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds who is he? A man is Rahim. So all Praise to Allah why? First of all because he is or Bill Allah me. Secondly, because he is a rush man in Rahim.
We have a Lord who is merciful, kind, generous, forgiving.
This is why be grateful. Be thankful
