Right, bismillah, salatu wassalamu ala rasulullah, assalamu alaykum
everyone.
This is Yusuf Razza.
We're doing Let's Grow Quran daily and We've
moved all the way to the sixth ayah
of Surah Al-Fatiha.
So after asking Allah for guidance for hidayah,
we specify what kind of guidance it is
That we're looking for and it is siratul
ladheena an'amta alayhum Rather we're required to
specify every time we recite Surah Al-Fatiha
to be reminded Of the people who have
trodden this path before That there are people
who carrying human limitations Carrying the same challenges
or similar challenges rather that this world gives
to anyone Who spends time here lived up
To that right of abudiyah lived up to
What it means to love The one who
to whom all praise and gratitude belongs who
is the Rabb?
who is Rahman and Rahim and who is
Maliki yawmiddeen and the beauty of this of
this path is that It encompasses within itself
the diversity of human beings which is manifested
in the diversity of People alluded to in
an'amta alayhum.
So the translation of the ayah is the
path of those that you have favored Right
and the favoring was a consequence of Them
walking the path Right and of course the
walking of the path was dependent on the
guidance that they received and The guidance that
they received was in turn because of the
dedication willingness commitment that they had already shown
to walk the path and to live up
to What it means to be the Ibad
of Allah Right, so the the general path
the the Universal values and morals that it
represents, but then how it finds Singular representations
Representations in singular situations rather in individual situations
in unique situations For us to receive inspiration
from for us to recognize that not only
is this doable has been done Not only
is this possible it is Indispensable for these
are the people the the prophets the followers
of the prophets the companions of the prophets
men and women Who have through their lives?
shown that as difficult as it may seem
as Impossible as it may look It is
incredibly incredibly doable Indispensable you gotta you know,
you want to not do it Then that's
what the other Is the last ayah will
speak about and so we see This path
specifying for us reminding us.
Okay, so we want to learn more about
this Siratul Mustaqeem This is we got to
learn more about the An'amta Alayhim You
want to learn about that right path that
straight path?
We want to learn more about the blessed
people We need role models We need inspiration
we need sources for our morals and values
that we can then when individual situations demand
in our unique lives We can then Adapt
personalize those morals and values in how we
interact in how we interact right so just
as an example part of the Siratul Mustaqeem
that the An'amta Alayhim followed part of
the straight path that those who were favored
follow is prayer It has been since as
long as you can trace back humanity to
prayer but the way the prayer evolved across
Different prophetic generations We see the diversity Incorporated
in that and then even with the last
and final messenger Sallallahu alayhi wasallam the form
of the prayer Becomes more synchronized Yet Two
people praying in the same role at the
same time to the same Rab Their prayers
are not exactly the same There is a
uniqueness that we bring into even activities which
look Exactly the same and so it is
that uniqueness that has to then be recognized
Appreciated and lived up to in all other
situations as well.
So all the other morals and Principles and
values and inspirations that we find on the
straight path through the An'amta Alayhim When
we walk that path as individuals That's going
to be that's Only you can walk the
walk you can walk just you Nobody else
can walk that walk That's how singular and
unique it becomes So to be able to
recognize the universality of the path Yet the
uniqueness that has to be Appreciated Why else
do you engage with that?
with that universal path That straight path that
very accommodative path Accommodated of diversity as we
see in An'amta Alayhim as the Quran
will illustrate with the various examples that it
will give and how it brings a balance
to To these apparently polar opposite constructions or
polar opposite concepts rather Of Universality and how
how just a recognition of that leads to
a cultish mentality and following in practice and
then there's this other extreme which would advocate
uniqueness to such an extent that no universal
values or morals Exist at all Anything goes
for absolutely anyone and it's just chaos and
confusion and tyranny to be honest Right.
So we want to make sure and we
see that Represented within these ayat as to
how that balance is brought about More about
the An'amta Alayhim as we go through
the different passages of the Quran.
