NEW TO KNOW ABOUT AL-FATIHA

          SURA FATIHA (the opener)

There was a important hadith about sura fatiha.it was narrated in the sahih muslim , ABU DAWUD,TIRMIDHI,THE  MUSNAD IMAM AHMAD all of these books it. ABU HURAIRAH (R) said the prophet (s.a.w)said that”ALLAH has said , “I have divided the salah between myself and between my servant in two equal halves and my servant shall get what he asks in his half”.then prophet (s.a.w)said , said, ALLAH said

“when the servant says ALHAMDULILLAHI RABBIL ALAMIN”.the sura is so powerful that some of sahaba’s called that sura “SURATUL SALAH” why? Because of that hadith  that our lord has called .this surah he has said it is the salah .because the fatiha embodies everything about our religion,it sumaraized relationship between ALLAH and us .what is

the purpose of the salah ? the purpose of the salah is to remind ourselves of the purpose

 of life and thar why fatiha is called the salah.our lord said, I have divided the salah between myself and between my servant in two equal halves.now how can 

there be two equal halves when there’s 7 ayats.the answer is- 3 here and 3 here 1 in the middle . 3 for ALLAH and 3 for the servants and 1 is the connection between the two and that’s the beauty of fatiha.the hadith says ,ALLAH said,”when my servant sats ALHAMDULILLAHI RABBIL ALAMIN.I say HAMIDAN ABDI (MY SERVANT PRAISED ME).So ALLAH is happy.ALLAH is

 happy that my servant has praised me.then “when my servant says AR-RAHMAN AR-RAHEM”then ALLAH says “ATHAN ALAIYAH ABDHI” that my servants repeated his praised of me.then the servant says “MALIKIA

 YAMIDDIN” and ALLAH said “MAJJADANI ADBHI” my servant glorified

me .majjadani means tamjid of ALLAH’s names AL-MAJID,we translate AL-MAJID as the glorious .so tamjid of ALLAH means to exalts the status of 

ALLAH and when servant say “MALIKI YAMID DEEN “ he is exalting the 

status of ALLAH .so ALLAH says “my servants has given me exalation,MAJJADANI ABDHI”. Then servants says “IYAKA NA’ABUDHU WA YA KANASTAEEN” so ALLAH says”this is between me and my servants “and

 then “IHSDINA SIRATAL MUSTAKIM ,SIRATALLA DHENA AN’AMTA ALAIHIM ,GHAIRIL MAGDUBHI ALAIHIM WALLADALEEN AMEEN”.so that “IYAKA NA’ABUDHU WA YA KANASTAEEN”is quit literally dividing the surah in two .

the first half deals with ALLAH and glorifying ALLAH and second half deals

 with what we want from ALLAH "IHSDINA SIRATAL MUSTAKIM" and so quit literaly the surah is divided neatly in half . this is establishing the relationship the linkage between ALLAH and servant and that the linkage has been established."my servant shall get anything what he asks for me"so ALLAH(SWT) is pleased when the servant praised him.now let him ask and the servant ask "IHSDINA SIRATAL MUSTAKIM" guide us to the straight path "SIRATALLA DHENA AN-AMTA ALAIHIM"the path of whom you have shown your blessings "GHAIRIL MAGDUBHI ALAIHIM "not the path of those who have shown anger "WALLADALEEN " nor the one's who are astray .then ALLAH says:"this what my servant will get because he asked me ,after praising me ,after glorifying me ,after givin my hamdh and thana and majdh.now he wil get whatever he wants
