This chapter consists of 7 verses, 25 words and 113 letters. AI-Fatiha is the essence of The Qur'an. This is reflected in the many names given to this chapter. AI-Hamd (The Praise) As-Salah (The Prayer) AI-Kafia (The Sufficient) AI-Kanz (The Treasure House) As-Shifa (The Cure) AI-Ruqyah (The Remedy) Sab'a Mathani (The Seven Often Repeated) Umm-al-Kitab (The Core of The Qur'an) Asasul-Qur'an (The Basis of The Qur'an) The Almighty divides this chapter into two parts: "The first part is for Me [when the slave praises His Lord] and the rest is for My slave who shall receive what he asks." [Muslim] AI-Fatiha is a prayer of the Believer. The Believer acknowledges the sovereignty of Allah over all things. He pledges his obedience to Allah as The only One that he worships. The Believer seek Allah's guidance to live in The Straight Way. The chapter begins with the invocation of the name of Allah The Merciful. This lays the foundation as the Believers are encouraged to start every act by invoking the name of Allah so that they will develop the habit of reflecting on
the righteousness of their actions at the point they are about to start them. In the next verse, the Believer says, "All praise is due to Allah." This helps to prevent the Believer from becoming arrogant by believing that his success is the result of his cleverness. All things happen only by the Rahma or Mercy of Allah. The Believer acknowledges this Truth when he says, "Alhamdulillah." The Rahma includes giving human beings free will either to be part of this Divine Mercy or follow their ways. Human beings will therefore have to accept responsibility for all their actions and they will be judged accordingly on The Day of Judgment by their Lord (Rabb). Those who obey Allah's commands will be rewarded. From this recognition flows gratitude and the desire to please Allah The Merciful as the only One the Believer will worship and turn to for everything. The Believer makes this pledge not only for himself but also on behalf of all created things as Man is Allah's khalifor} Earth [2:30]: You Alone we worship, You Alone we call on for help.

Ovaj odjeljak ima 7 stihova, 25 riječi i 113 slova. Al-Fatiha je srž Kur'ana. To se odražava u mnogim imenima koja su dana ovom odjeljku. Al-Hamd (hvaljenje) As-Salah (molitva) Al-Kafia (dovoljan) Al-Kanz (riznica) As-Shifa (liječenje) Al-Ruqyah (lijek) Sab'a Mathani (7 Često Ponavljanih) Umm-al-Kitab (Srž Kur'ana) Asasul-Qur'an (Osnove Kur'ana) Svemoćni dijeli ovaj odjeljak na dva dijela: "Prvi dio je za Mene [kada rob hvali svojega Gospodara] a ostalo je za Mojega roba koji će primiti ono što traži." [Muslim] Al-Fatiha je molitva vjernika. Vjernik priznaje vladavinu Allaha nad svime. On se obavezuje na pokornost Allahu kao Jedinome kome se klanja. Vjernik traži da ga Allah vodi da živi na ispravan način. Odjeljak počinje zazivanjem imena Allaha Milostivog. To postavlja osnovu kojom su vjernici potaknuti da svako djelovanje počnu zazivajući ime Allaha tako da će oni
razviti naviku da misle na čestitost svojih akcija već kad ih započinju. U sljedećem stihu, vjernik kaže "Sva hvala je za Allaha." Ovo pomaže da vjernik ne postane arogantan vjerujući da je njegov uspjeh rezultat njegove pameti. Sve se događa jedino iz Rahma, tj. Milosti Allaha. Vjernik priznaje ovu istinu kada kaže, "Alhamdulillah." Rahma također ljudima daje slobodnu volju da budu dio ove Božanske Milosti, ili pak da idu svojim putevima. Ljudi će zato morati prihvatiti odgovornost za svako svoje djelovanje i na Sudnji Dan njihov će im Gospodar (Rabb) prema njima suditi. Oni koji se pokore Allahovim zapovijedima bit će nagrađeni. Iz ovog prihvaćanja proističe zahvalnost i želja da se udovolji Allahu Milostivom kao jedinom kojeg će vjernik štovati i kome će se za sve obratiti. Vjernik se na to zavjetuje ne samo za samoga sebe, nego i u ime svega stvorenog jer Čovjek je Allahova khalifor} Zemlja [2:30]: Tebe Jedinoga slavimo, Tebe Jedinoga zovemo za pomoć.

In the prayer to The Almighty to show us The Straight Way, the Believer pleads for guidance through human models. The Believer prays for examples of those favoured by The Lord and are therefore in The Straight Way, as well as examples of those who have earned His anger or have lost The Way. Allah The Merciful places the whole of The Noble Qur'an before the Believer in answer to this prayer, as if to say, "This is My guidance to you." The Prophets (peace be upon them), the Truthful, the Martyrs and the Righteous are favoured by Allah. [4:69] Those who "disobeyed and exceeded all limits" [2:61] set by The Lord are the models to be avoided. The Qur'an describes Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) as the "Best Model" [33:21] for everyone to follow. The Qur'an describes the Prophet (pbuh) as "a mercy for all the worlds." [21:107] The Qur'an commands the Believers "t-o obey The Lord and obey His Messenger." [64:12] Those who accept and follow the confirmed traditions of Allah's final Messenger are in The Straight Way. AI-Fatiha is a miniature portrayal of Islamic beliefs and values. The rest of The Noble Qur'an is an elaboration. Dr Y Mansoor Marican, Ph. D www.islamalways.com
U molitvi Svemogućem da nam pokaže Pravi Put, vjernik moli za vodstvo kroz ljudske uzore. Vjernik moli za primjere onih kojima je Gospodar sklon i zato su na Pravom Putu, kao i za primjere onih koji su zaslužili Njegov gnjev ili su izgubili Put. Allah Milostivi stavlja cjeloviti Plemeniti Kur'an pred vjernika odgovarajući na tu molitvu, da bi rekao "Ovo vam je Moj vodič." Poslanici (mir bio njima), Istinoljubivi, Mučenici i Pravedni dragi su Allahu. [4:69] One koji "se nisu povinovali i prešli su sve granice" [2:61] Gospodar je stavio kao modele koje treba izbjegavati. Kur'an prikazuje Poslanika Muhameda (s.a.w.s.) kao "Najbolji Model" [33:21] svakome da ga slijedi. Kur'an opisuje Poslanika(s.a.w.s.) kao "milost svim svjetovima." [21:107] Kur'an zapovijeda vjernicima "pokoravati se Gospodaru i Njegovom Poslaniku." [64:12] Oni koji prihvate i slijede potvrđene tradicije Allahovog posljednjeg Poslanika na Pravom su Putu. Al-Fatiha je sažeti prikaz islamskih vjerovanja i vrijednosti. Ostatak Plemenitog Kur'ana je razrada. Dr Y Mansoor Marican, Ph. D www.islamalways.com
