1️⃣ SURAH AL FATIAH
(Quran As It Explains Itself)*
1:1 In the name of God, the Almighty, the Merciful."
[The first Surah of the Qur’an is a petition the Almighty has taught us. It teaches us to seek His guidance and support as we pledge to live by His laws. It has been termed, "The Key” to the Book, and in fact, the title “Al-Fatihah” carries that meaning. Allah , in His Infinite mercy, instantly responds in the next Surah, “Here is the Book of guidance”
BISMILLAH-IR-RAHMAN-IR-RAHEEM
*With the Glorious Name of Allah, the Ultimate Source of Instant Beneficence and Eternal Mercy Who encompasses the entire Universe, nourishing and taking care of all things for becoming what they are meant to be; just as a mother's womb nourishes the embryo to completion without any returns.*
[Rahm in Rahman and Raheem encompasses all the meanings rendered. Before the next Surahs, BISMILLAH will be given a brief translation: With the Glorious Name of Allah, the Instant and Sustaining Source of all Mercy and Kindness]
The marvels and the profound harmony in the Universe is a living witness that its Rabb is truly Worthy of all praise. All praiseworthy beings and wonderful things derive their magnificence from Him. Being awe-struck by any of His creation to the exclusion of His realization is nothing but shortsightedness.
All human achievements find their ultimate Source in Him since He is the exclusive Provider of all mental and physical resources.
3:189. And to Allah is the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth, and Allah is capable of all things.
9:112. They are the repenters, the worshipers, the thankful, the devout, the kneeling, the prostrating, the advocates of good and the prohibiters of vice, and the caretakers of the boundaries of Allah; and give good news to the believers.
35:27. Do you not see that Allah sends down water from the sky, thus We produce with it fruits of various colors? And of the mountains are peaks that are white, red, or some other color and intense black.]
1:2 Praise be to Allah, Rabb of the worlds.
1:3 The Almighty, the Merciful.
[And He is the Supreme Appointer of the System of Life that mankind may live by in order to attain success in both lives. All decisions in this System will be made according to Divine Commands given in this Book. And this System will most certainly prevail over all manmade systems in this world. The Divine law of Just Recompense is gradually taking mankind to the Day of Final Judgment in His Court to account for all they did with their gift of life.
This is a Day the advent of which is beyond any doubt.
3:189.And to Allah is the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth, and Allah is capable of all things.
9:32. They want to extinguish the light of Allah with their mouths, but Allah refuses such and lets His light continue, even if the rejecters hate it.
17:111. And say: "Praise be to Allah who has not taken a son, nor does He have a partner in sovereignty, nor does He have an ally out of weakness." And magnify Him greatly.
43:84. And He is the One who is a Allah in the heaven and a Allah on the earth. And He is the Wise, the Knowledgeable.
82:18. Then again, do you know what is the Day of Recompense?
Deen = The Divinely Prescribed System of Life. Yaum-id-Deen = The Day of Judgment = The Time of Ultimate Just Outcome = The Day of Resurrection = When the Divine System rules the earth as it rules the Universe.]
1:4 Sovereign of the Day of Recompense.
[Such will be the ones to establish the Divinely Prescribed System of Life on earth.
Iyyak = You alone. ‘
Abd and Ibadah, roots for Na’bud = Obedience = Service = Serving Allah by serving his creation. Usually, but erroneously translated exclusively as worship.
3:78.And from among them is a group who twist their tongues with the Book so that you may think it is from the Book, while it is not from the Book, and they say it is from Allah while it is not from Allah, and they say about Allah lies while they know.
5:44. We have sent down the Torah, in it is a guidance and a light; the prophets who have submitted judged with it for those who are Jewish, and the Devotees, and the Priests, for what they were entrusted of the Book of Allah, and they were witness over. So do not be concerned with the people but be concerned with Me; and do not purchase with My revelations a cheap price. And whoever does not judge with what Allah has sent down, then these are the rejecters.
12:40. What you serve besides Him are nothing except names which you have created, both you and your fathers, Allah has not sent down any authority for such. The judgment is for none except Allah. He has ordered that none be served except He. That is the true system, but most of the people do not know."]
1:5 You alone we serve, and You alone we seek for help.
[17:36 And do not uphold what you have no knowledge of; for the hearing, eyesight, and heart - all these you are responsible for.]
1:6 Guide us to the straight path.
[2:47. O Children of Israel, remember My blessings that I had blessed you with, and that I had preferred you over all the worlds.
31:20. Did you not see that Allah has commissioned in your service what is in the heavens and what is in the earth, and He has showered you with His blessings, both apparent and hidden? Yet from the people are some who argue about Allah with no knowledge nor guidance nor enlightening Book.]
1:7 The path of those You have blessed, not of those who have incurred the wrath, nor the misguided.
[2:61. And you said: "O Moses, we will not be patient to one type of food, so call for us your Lord that He may bring forth what the earth grows of its beans, cucumbers, garlic, lentils, and onions." He said: "Would you trade that which is lowly with that which is good?" Descend Egypt, you will have in it what you have asked for. And they were stricken with humiliation and disgrace, and they remained under the wrath of Allah for they were disbelieving in the revelations of Allah, and killing the prophets without right; this is for what they have disobeyed and transgressed.
7:152. Those who took the calf will be dealt with a wrath from their Lord and a humiliation in this worldly life. It is such that We punish the fabricators.
29:69. As for those who strive in Our cause, We will guide them to Our paths. For Allah is with the pious.
37:69. They had found their parents astray.
45:23.Have you seen the one who took his desire as his God, and Allah led him astray, despite his knowledge, and He sealed his hearing and his heart, and He made a veil on his eyes? Who then can guide him after Allah? Will you not remember?
61:5. And when Moses said to his people: "O my people, why do you harm me, while you know that I am a messenger of Allah to you?" But when they deviated, Allah diverted their hearts. And Allah does not guide the wicked people.
Ghadhab of Maghdhoob = Wrath = Anger = Being seized by Divine laws due to misdeeds. The term can be taken only figuratively when used in relation to Allah since He, unlike human tyrants, is not an emotional King and His Rule is the Rule of law.
3:6.He is the One who pictures you in the wombs as He pleases. There is no god except He, the Noble, the Wise.
8:53.That is because Allah was not to change any blessing He bestowed upon a people, unless they change what is in themselves. Allah is Hearer, Knowledgeable.
13:11. Present with him and behind him are retainers, they preserve him from the command of Allah. Allah does not change the condition of a people until they change the condition of their souls. And if Allah wanted to harm a people, then there is no turning Him back, nor will they have any protector against Him.
figuratively when used in relation to Allah since He, unlike human tyrants, is not an emotional King and His Rule is the Rule of law.]
