Surah Al Fatihah (Virtues and Themes)
Dear Islamic brothers! Ponder! Sūrah al-Fātiḥah is the first chapter of the Quran, and it communicates to us an important lesson. We can say the first teaching of the Quran is to always remember Allah Almighty and strengthen our relationship with Him. Therefore, we must live our lives knowing that Allah Almighty is All Seeing, and that we are always dependent on our Lord.
The Virtues of being Mindful of Allah Almighty
The final Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم gave the following advice to Sayyidunā ꜤAbdullāh b. ꜤAbbās رَضِىَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا:
اِحْفَظِ اللہَ یَحْفَظُکَ
“Be mindful of Allah Almighty, and He will protect you.”
اِحْفَظِ اللہَ تَجِدْہُ تُجَاہَکَ
“Be mindful of Allah Almighty, and you will find Him before you.”[1]
Allamah Mullah ꜤAlī al-Qārī رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه writes in the commentary of this narration, “Act upon what Allah Almighty has commanded you to do and refrain from what He prohibited you from, and He will protect you from the difficulties of this world and the punishment of the Hereafter.”
He further states, “If you become devoted to Allah Almighty, you will become beloved to Him.”[2]
May Allah Almighty grant us guidance and the ability to perform good deeds. If only our hearts remained in the constant remembrance of Allah Almighty and our entire lives were spent like this.
