Summary
Surah Fatiha: The Qurans Essence
All Praise and Thanks are for Allah, Master of all the Nations.
We werent commanded to give thanks and praise Allah. We do it naturally, because
peoples natural state of being is one of gratitude and appreciation of beauty and good
things
Its obnoxious to be ungrateful for the gifts weve been givenlike a father who gets his
kid an Eid present and the kid says Thats it? Thats all? This kind of reaction warrants
the fathers anger, and he can take away the gift he gave his child.
Know that we are slaves. We are just property, and Allah is our master. This means we
are entitled to nothing. Everything we have is a gift.
The Extremely Loving and Caring, The Constantly Loving and Caring
Both words come from the word which is often translated as Mercy.
We should think of Allah in light of the hadith in which he says, I named you (the
mothers womb) by my name.( )No human relationship compares to the love
Allah has for us, but the closest one we could understand is the relationship a mother
has with her baby in her womb because the baby is constantly cared for in ways the
baby doesnt even know, and the baby is completely enveloped in the care of the
mothers womb in the form of shelter and nutrition.
: extreme love and care (not forever)
: love and care (forever for The Believers)
