Surah Al-Fatiha

29 June 2006 at 5:55 am 3 comments

Here is the “conversation” so to speak between Allah (S.W.T) and His servant when the servant recites Surah Al-Fatiha during prayer. I came across this a few years ago and I thought it was really nice. There are so many different angles to study Surah Al-Fatiha; I’ve found that as a non-arabic speaker, memorizing this has helped me understand one aspect of the surah a bit better. Subhaan Allah, there are blessings in everything!

Servant says: Alhamdulillahi Rabb Al-alameen
Translation: Praise be to Allah, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the worlds
Allah (S.W.T.) Says: My servant has praised me

Servant says: Al-Rahman Al-Raheem
Translation: The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful
Allah (S.W.T.) Says: My servent has extolled Me

Servant says: Malik Yawm Al-Deen
Translation: Master of the day of judgement
Allah (S.W.T.) Says: My servant has glorified Me

Servant says: Iyyaka naabudoo wa iyyaka nastaayeen
Translation: You Alone we worship and You Alone we ask for help
Allah (S.W.T.) Says: This is between Me and My servant and My servant shall have what he has asked for

Servant says: Ihdina al-siraut al mustaqeem; Siraut al-latheena an’aamta aalayhem; ghayr al-maghdoobi alayhem; wala al-dauleen
Translation: Show us the straight path; The path of those upon whom you have bestowed Your Grace; Not the path of those who have earned Your anger; Nor those who go astray
Allah (S.W.T.) Says: This is for My servant and My servant shall have what he has asked for

Ten causes that result in Allah’s love for His slave and the slave’s love for his Lord – By Imam ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawziyyah

1. Reciting the Qur’aan while pondering over its meanings and what is meant by it. 2. Getting closer to Allah by performing voluntary deeds after completing obligatory deeds. This is as is stated in a Hadeeth Qudsi: “My slave continues getting closer to Me by performing voluntary deeds until I love him.” [Saheeh al-Bukhaaree] 3. Continual remembrance of Allah under all circumstances, with one’s tongue, heart and actions. The extent of one’s love of Allah is determined by this. 4. Giving precedence to what He loves over what you love when you are overtaken by your desires. 5. The heart being avid of Allah’s Names, and Attributes and the heart roaming in that garden of knowledge. 6. observing Allah’s kindness, goodness and bounties, both hidden and open. 7. And this is the most wonderful, the heart being soft, subdued and meek before Allah. 8. Being alone with Allah during the time when the Lord descends during the last portion of the night while reading His Book and ending that by asking for forgiveness and repenting. 9. Sitting with the beloved and sincere, benefiting from the most fruitful of their speech. And not to speak unless speaking is more beneficial and you know that it will improve your state and be beneficial to others. 10. Remaining away from every cause that comes between the heart and Allah. These ten causes take the lovers to the station of true love and bring them to their Beloved.
