The Summary of Al-Fatihah
The honorable Surah Al-Fatihah contains seven Ayat including the praise and
thanks of Allah, glorifying Him and praising Him by mentioning His most
Beautiful Names and most high Attributes. It also mentions the Hereafter, which
is the Day of Resurrection, and directs Allah's servants to ask of Him, invoking
Him and declaring that all power and strength comes from Him. It also calls to
the sincerity of the worship of Allah alone, singling Him out in His divinity,
believing in His perfection, being free from the need of any partners, having no
rivals nor equals. Al-Fatihah directs the believers to invoke Allah to guide
them to the straight path, which is the true religion, and to help them remain
on that path in this life, and to pass over the actual Sirat (bridge over hell
that everyone must pass over) on the Day of Judgment. On that Day, the believers
will be directed to the gardens of comfort in the company of the Prophets, the
truthful ones, the martyrs and the righteous. Al-Fatihah also encourages
performing good deeds, so that the believers will be in the company of the
good-doers on the Day of Resurrection. The Surah also warns against following
the paths of misguidance, so that one does not end up being gathered with those
who indulge in sin, on the Day of Resurrection, including those who have earned
the anger and those who were led astray.
