Surah Al-Fatiha (The Opening) | Mishary Rashid Alafasy | Allah Chooses You

#alhamdulillah Reciter : Mishary Rashid Alafasy First Three Ayat : The beginning of al-Fatihah establishes the relationship between Allah and His creation: The first three ayat revolve around four attributes of Allah. The first states that Allah is the Lord, and the second is that He is the Most Gracious (الرحم ن) then the Most Merciful (الرحيم) and lastly the Master/King (الملك). Last Four Ayat : The second half of the surah highlights our relationship with Allah and defines this through two categories. The first category defines the actions we should undertake both outwardly and inwardly. Outwardly, we are required to follow a lifestyle that allows us to worship Allah through rituals and by following the Shariah, and to do so purely for His sake (i.e. it is You we worship). Inwardly, we must rely on Him alone and not expect our actions to earn us salvation (i.e. from You we seek assistance). The second category expands on the first by enhancing the definition of worshiping Allah and what our reliance should look like. Allah defines the nature of this path of worship and reliance based on the path of the righteous people who came before us. Simultaneously, we must avoid the path of people who have demonstrated extreme behavior, such as that which incurs the anger of Allah or which leads to misguidance. SURAH AL-FATIHA IS THE MOST VIRTUOUS PART OF THE NOBLE QUR'AN
