Asaalam everyone,
Ramadan has been absolutely wonderful so far, Insha-Allah, it's been wonderful for you to.
Today I am going to talk about Surah Fatihah in Salah.
I remember mentioning the book " Love Of Allah" (the first book in the series).
Sometimes in our salah, we can think- "Oh- I have to do this" or" Soon, I'll have to go there" which can cause us to rush.
Sometimes we just rush considering the beautiful gift of prayer a burden!
Therefore, I wanted to show you something I was fascinated by, did you know when you are reading your Surah Fatihah Allah is actually answering us at each verse.
When you say:
"All praise and thanks be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds"
Allah says
"My servant has praised me."
After that when you say:
"The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful"
Allah says "My servant has glorified me."
When we say:
"The Master of the Day of Judgement"
Allah says "My servant has glorified me" or "My servant has related all matters to me."
When we say:
"You [alone] we worship, and you [alone] we ask for help"
Allah says "This is between Me and My servant, and My servant shall be granted what he sought".
When we say:
"Guide us to the straight path. The way of those on whom You have granted Your grace, not [the way] of those who have earned Your anger, nor of those who went astray"
Allah says "This is for My servant, and My servant shall be granted what he asked for."
Therefore, when you are reading this Surah in your Salah, try to pause momentarily like the Prophet (PBUH) did.
Today I used my "Love of Allah. Experience the beauty of Salah" book.
This book is absolutely wonderful! In the Editors Preface it says you can actually download a free PDF version of the book on the site- http://www.quranproject.org/
I hope your fasts are going great, May Allah make Ramadan a blessed month for us all.
Ameen.
