A few reflections regarding Surat Al FAtiha and Ayat Al Kursi that I was thinking about today.
1-Surat Al Fatiha includes some of the etiquettes of du’aa like: praising Allah, exalting Him, mentioning your need of his help, and his favour upon you, then asking Allah what you want.
2-In Surat Al Fatiha blessing is attributed to Allah while anger is not attributed directly, which is an adab and manner when supplicating or speaking about God to mention anything good that happens to you because of him. So you say “alhamdulilah Allah helped me on my test today” but if you fail it is good manners to say “I failed” “I missed the appointment” etc
3-Worship is mentioned in Al Fatiha in the plural which has two nice meanings. One, is the need to be in good company to be able to have good characteristics. Second, perhaps is the spirit of community in Islam that worships were also aimed to combine peoples’ hearts as they stand in awe in a state of worship.
4-Ayat Al Kursi has 10 sentences
that’s eloquent…
5- Ayat Al Kursi mentions important things regarding our belief of God: 1-Worship is only due to Him 2-Only He has the complete life and from Him life originated 3- He masters the affairs of life for all creations 4-This does not tire him at all, since His life is perfect! 5-People have to have His permission and will to be able to intercede 6-Allah has the most complete knowledge 7- Our knowledge as humans in our totality is really nothing compared to the knowledge of God 8-Allah has created things in the unseen that are so great. We don’t know their reality and at the same time they are very great, but He is even greater!! Subhan Allah 9-Allah is the protector and caretaker of everything..Subhan Allah this verse is full of might, power, mercy, majesty, and humble subdue if we ponder over it… If we really understand it, it will clear our attitude towards God and our relationship with Him.
