Al- Fatihah - the opening
In the Qu'ran it says: O our Sustainer!
Lay Thou open the truth between us and our people --
for Thou art the best of all to lay open the truth! Al-A'raf 7:89
We are at the beginning of the truth.
The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful what does this mean?
The Most Gracious:
The Compassionate, The Beneficient, The One who has plenty of mercy for the believers and the blasphemers in this world and especially for the believers in the hereafter.
The Most Gracious has imparted this Qur'an unto man.
He has created man: He has imparted unto him articulate thought and speech.
At His behest the sun and the moon run their appointed courses; before Him prostrate themselves the stars and the trees.
And the skies has He raised high, and has devised for all things a measure, so that you too, O men, might never transgress the measure of what is right: weight, therefore, your deeds with equity, and cut not the measure short!
and the earth has He spread out for all living beings, with fruit thereon, and palm trees with sheathed clusters of dates, and grain growing tall on its stalks, and sweet-smelling plants.
Which, then, of your Sustainer's powers can you disavow? Ar-Rahman 55:1-13,
The Most Merciful
The Merciful, The One who has plenty of mercy for the believers.
In what ways have you experienced Allah's attributes of Mercy and Compassion or Graciousness?
