Greatness Al-Fatihah

Greatness Al-Fatihah

Every Muslim who adhere to the teachings of religion, will undoubtedly surah Al-Fatihah  to be memorize. Al-Fatihah is that in  7’s sentences, shall be read in prayer five times a day. Children are educated by Muslim families from childhood been trained to memorize Surah Al-Fatihah. This is a general chapter which is always read by all Muslims in the world every day in the region over the centuries and it will continue until the Day of Resurrection. God willing.

Al-Fatiha means "opening" is derived from the fatiha-yaftahu which means "open something for success or victory." As the name implies, this is the opening chapter of the Book of the Koran, which consists of 30 chapters and 114 Surah. Al-Fatihah only consist of seven (7) sentences whose content is the essence of the whole Qur'anh. As it is also called Umm Al-Quran (Koran parent) or Mother of the Book (Al-Kitab parent). Surah Al-Fatihah (The Opening) revealed in Mecca is the first surah revealed in detail between the existing chapters in the Koran and among the Makkah surah.

Seven verses that Read privilege Repeatedly:

Although  all Muslims read and memorized surah Al-Fatihah, but still many people who do not understand  its meaning.   Most Muslims who read surah Al-Fatihah just read simply because it required every time someone is praying. Rarely understand and implied  teaching and meaning of this chapter. But by understanding its contents is also understand the outline of the teachings of the Koran. There is really no reason not to understand the meaning of Surah Al-Fatihah for easy translation of the Koran We find, as are books that discuss many of these chapters we have encountered. This is the translation of Surah Al-Fatihah:

"In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

Praise be to Allah, the Lord of hosts. Most Gracious, Most Merciful. Master of the Day of Judgment. Thee do we worship, and Thine aid we seek. Show us the straight path, (ie) the people which thou hast bestowed upon them; not the (path) of their wrath and not (also road) they are misguided. "   (Al-Fatihah: 1-7)

Because Surah Al-Fatihah is the parent of all the contents of the Koran, every Muslim is required to read in every time performing their prayers. Hence is also called As Sab'ul matsaany (seven repeated) because the verse seven and read over and over again in every prayer we either obligatory or sunnah five hours. Allaah says about it,

We have given you seven verses over and over and the great Qur'an. (Al-Hijr: 87)

About relations with Al-Fatihah prayer, the Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu alaihi wa Sallam Shollallahu alaihi wa sallam said, "No prayer for those who have not read the opening of Al-Kitab (Surah Al-Fatihah) (HR. Bukhari and Muslim).

Furthermore, in Sahih Muslim from Abu Hurairah radhiyallahu'anhu of the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam, he said, "Whoever does not read the prayer that the Holy Mother in his prayers limp-three times-that is imperfect." Then asked to Abu Hurairah, "If we are behind the imam, how?" He answered, "Read for yourself, because I heard the Messenger sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam said,

"Allah said: 'I divide the prayer (Al-Fatihah) between Me and My servant into two parts. And My servant will receive what he asked for. ' If his reading , 'Alhamdulillahi Lord of' Alamin ' , then Allah will say,' My servant has praised Me. ' If he read, 'Ar Rahmanirrahim' then Allah will say, 'My servant praised me'. If he read, 'Maliki yaumid din' He said, 'My servant glorify me'. Then God said, 'My servant has resigned to Me'. If he read , 'Iyyaka na'budu wa iyyaka nasta'in' He said, 'This is the part of me and part of my servants. And my servant will surely get his request. '. and if he read, 'Ihdinash shirathal mustaqim, shirathalladziina an'amta' alaihim Ghairil maghdhubi 'alaihim wa ladh Dallin " Allah said,' This shall be my servant, and he will get what he wants. '

Surah Al-Fatihah was also named the "Ash Shifa" , which means Healers. A companion of the Prophet sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam never cure the sick poison stung by this chapter. Alhamdulillah with Allah idzin healed.

Narrated Abu Said Al dai-Hudri ra:

'Indeed, some of the companions of the Prophet came to a village of Arabs and the villagers did not welcome him, all of them together, then the head of their village stung by poisonous, they asked: "Are you able to cure?" They replied: "Because you do not we entertain, we can treat you from there his wages. " so they promised reward was a goat. Then a friend of the Mother reading Qur'an (Al-Fatiha), and he collected his saliva and spitting (wound stung). Then head of village was healed and he was awarded a goats. The friend said: "We do not take it before asking him Shollallahu alaihi wa sallam." So we asked him and he laughed. And the Prophet said: "Do you know the Al-Fatihah be for healing, take reward and give me some."

Summary content of Al-Fatihah

The first verse called Basmallah, namely Bismillahirrahmaanirrahiim ( In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful ). Meaning: I begin to read al-Fatiha In the name of Allah the Most Gracious and the Most Merciful. Any good work, should begin with the name of Allah, such as eating, drinking, slaughtering animals and so on. Allah is the name of the Holy One, worthy of worship in truth, that does not require his creatures, but creatures who need Him. Ar Rahmaan (the Most Gracious): one of the names of God that gives the sense that God's gracious to His creatures, are ar Raheem (the Most Merciful) gives the sense that God always has compassion which led him always bestow His Mercy on His creatures.

Alhamdu lillahi robbil 'worlds (praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds) . People are praised because He was doing a good deed by will alone. He praised Allah means: extol Him as a good deeds. As with gratitude that means: recognizing the primacy of one's blessings that it provides. We bring praise to God because God is the source of all goodness praiseworthy.

Rabb (Lord) means: God is obeyed Who Owns, Educating and Nurturing. Pronunciation Rabb can not be used for other than Allah, except if there is connection, such as rabbul bytes (host). 'Alamiin (hosts): all created by God, which consists of various types and kinds, such as: the nature of man, animal, nature plants, inanimate objects, and so on. God the creator of all beings in the universe.

"O mankind, worship your Lord who created you and those before you so that you are cautious. He Who has made the earth a bed for you and the sky a canopy, and He sent down water from the sky and then the blessing of the water of God grow a variety of fruits as a sustenance for you, then you do not set up rivals to Allah when ye know . "(QS. Al-Baqarah: 21-22)

'Ar-Rahman Ar-Rahim' (the Most Gracious, Most Merciful) are two names of God that shows one of the attributes of God is mercy (compassion). Ar Rahman belongs to the category name of God that can only be used to refer to God. The name Ar Rahim has been mentioned in the Qur'an can use to call him other than the Qur'an according to information about the nature of the Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam,

"It has come to you a messenger from among you, droop him what a burden you, and he was excited to give it good for you, and he's very gentle and love people who believe." (QS. At Tawbah: 128 )

Ibn Kathir said when explaining the interpretation basmalah at the beginning of surah Al-Fatihah, "The conclusion that can be drawn is part of the name of Allah is used to name other than his, and some can only be used to name Himself-such as the name of Allah , Ar-Rahman, Al Khaliq, Ar-Raziq and so forth. "

'Maliki yaumid din' (King's Mastering the Day of Judgment ) shows obligations believe in faith mulkiyah . Allaah is the Rabb of everything and the Superintendent or his king. All of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them belong to Him. He is the King who rules the world and the hereafter. Allah Almighty says,

"Owned God of the heavens and the earth and all that is in them, and He has power over all things." (Al-Ma'idah: 120).

"Glory to God in the hands of His kingdom and He has power over all things." (Al-Mulk: 1).

"Say; Who is in His hands is the dominion over all things, He protects, and none can be protected from punishment, if you really know? They will say, 'Allah'. Say; So do not err on the side. "(QS. Al Mu'minun: 88-89)

Believe Tauhidullah (oneness of Allah) there are four verses Al-Fatihah, which stated unequivocally that praise and thanksgiving for a favor it for God, because God is the Creator and the source of all the blessings found in nature.

Among the delights it is: create delicious, delicious educate and grow, because the word Lord in word Rabbul-'aalamiin not only means the Creator of the universe , but also implies tarbiyah that educate, organize, organize and grow. This shows that all the blessings that are seen by a person in itself and in all of nature is derived from God, because He is the Almighty in the universe. Education, care and growth by God in nature and must be observed by human thought deeply, so that it becomes a source of various kinds of knowledge that can add to the grandeur of human beliefs and glory of God, and useful to society.

Al-Fatihah focused belief in the Last Day, the Day of Judgment when people accountable for all his actions. Referred to as the King of the King Day of Judgment is the day that God is powerful, everything is subject to His greatness while hoping for favors and fear of punishment. It contains the meaning of the promise to reward the good deeds and sins against the threat of bad deeds

Because faith (monotheism), it is a fundamental problem, then in Surat Al-Fatiha is not quite covered by the signal, but confirmed and complemented by paragraph 5, namely: Iyyaaka na'budu wa iyyaka Nasta'in (only you who has we worship, and to you alone we ask for help). This tawhidul observance of slavery, servitude, and submission is purely directed to God. Na'budu taken from the Abida-ya'budu worship is obedience and submission raised with the hearts and minds of the greatness of God, who is worshiped as a god, because believes that God has absolute power against him. Nasta'in (for help), drawn from the word isti'aanah : expect help to be able to complete a job that can not be done with its own energy.

The general chapter also teaches us to pray to God. Praying must begin with praise Allah with all the glory, glorifying His names and expressed readiness to faith in worship and acknowledge God as the place to ask. The best prayer is to seek God's guidance instructions Straight Path Road is happiness and how it should be the path to happiness in both worlds. The "guidance" here is the guidance of a failure by security reason, good fortune, good that's morals and beliefs, laws and other subjects of the science of God contained in the Qur'an. He said,

Surely this Qur'an gives guidance to the (road) is more straight and give glad tidings to the believers who do righteous deeds that for them there is great reward. (Al-Isra: 17)

And thus have We inspired in thee (of the Qur'an) by Our command. You knew not what is the Book (Qur'an), nor what is Faith? But We have made the Qur'an a light whereby We guide whom We will of Our servants. And thou (Muhammad) really give guidance to the straight path. (As-Syuraa: 52)

The phrase, "Ihdinash shirathal musataqiim" (Guide us to the straight path) as the main demands of every Muslim to his Lord. The demand is not ego because not for themselves but for jamatul muslimiin that Muslims as a whole. Apply the best in life is to seek guidance favor of a value far exceeds the needs and desires of others on Earth .. Nothing is more important than life indicators, as specified Prophet sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam to friends Ali bin Abi Talib;

 "And if Allah give guidance to a person because of you, it is better how you of the world and everything in it" (HR. Muslim)

 Shirotol Mustaqim  ( the straight path) and follow  "Shirathalladzinaa An'aam talaihim" ( The path of those  whom Thou has bestowed  favors.)  

And whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger (His), they would be together with people who are endowed by God's favor, namely: the prophets, the saints, the martyrs, and the righteous. And they are the best of friends. (An-Nisa: 69)

Then confirmed also that the road "groiril maghduubi alayhim Walad-dhooliiin ". ( Not the path of those who earn Thine anger of those who go astray). That is not one of them who did not receive the light of guidance and walk in ignorance of the truth of God, the Prophet, and the teachings of Islam. Who are those who stray and those whom Allah mentioned by the Qur'an clearly. In Tafsir Ibn Abbas said that the Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam said, "Al yahuudu maghduubun 'alayhim Ashoro dhooluun wan" (The Jewish God is angry behavior while the Christians lost)

Jews with their behavior is an example of the curse and wrath of God throughout human history .. because their crimes against propaganda since the time of Moses until the time we Alaihis Salaam today ... While Christians often invent a lie against Allah, consequently stirring their faith in God turvy and mixed with falsehood ... Qur'an repeatedly tells the story of the Prophet and the stories of the ancients who oppose Allah. They are misguided and some are Wrath of God ... The stories are meant as a lesson for Muslims and guide them throughout life.

As a parent, the content of the Qur'an Surah Al-Fatihah very wide like an ocean that is not trimmed. We explain what this is only a drop of breadth of knowledge of God in this glorious chapter.
