| FIRST HALF ESTABLISHED OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH ALLAH, THE SECOND HALF IS SUPPLICATION
IHDINAA SIRAATAL MUSTAQEEM Ihdinaa- GUIDE (show the way) Comes from the word HIDAYA- (origin means walk with someone along, show them the way) If you have seen a blind person, his walking stick is HAADIYA because it shows person the way)
IHDI NAA (naa means US, guide us, show us the way) What do we want to be guided to? ASIRAAT-
It means PATH (siraat) but it means a SPECIFIC type of path, there are other words for path SABEEL (path) SIRAAT (path) The difference is siraat has NO PLURAL in the Arabic language! Sabeel has plural (subul) but siraat has no plural! When ever imaan is talked about in the Quran, faith and belief, Allah uses SIRAAT because there is ONLY ONE PATH OF GUIDANCE, ONLY ONE PATH OF IMAAN, singular, one The concept of unity is continuing. Everyone is one line, one path Singular path of guidance, following way of prophet, and it unites us When Allah talked about spending in the way of way Allah, Allah used SABEEL! Fi sabee lilah! Because there are A LOT of ways to give in the way of Allah!!! Give to the masjid, humanitarian relief, Islamic school, etc so there are many many paths.
This comes from the root for the word TO STAND (qiyam)- Means to stand MUSTAQEEM means (to make something stand, to make something upright) then it is STRAIGHT, that’s where the translation of straight comes from. The translation gets to the point. Make someone stand and upright and stand
It carries 2 implications- It’s the MOST APPROPRIATE WAY a person can walk through this life If Allah was to say IHDINAS SIRAATAL MUSTAKEEM, it conveys a point- But that kind of leaves a question People want to live upright lives, people want to be ethical and moral BUT what humanity struggles with is the issue of HOW DO YOU DEFINE THAT? WHAT IS THAT? Everyone tries to come up with their own idea, and their own definition Humanity struggles with this ALLAH PROVIDES US WITH AN ANSWER FOR THAT. When Allah give us hidayah, Allah lights the way You know EXACTYL where you are going Allah defines that path, what is that path of guidance
AN AMTA comes from the root word for BLESSING The path of those people whom YOU HAVE BLESSED, whom you have sent your blessing upon
AL MAGHDOOB (its passive, means THEY HAVE INCURRED THE WRATH UPON THEMSELVES! They themselves, have brought upon the anger upon themselves!! WALADHAALEEN Not the path of those people who are wandering around lost, doesn’t know his or her way Allah identifies path of guidance BY the people whom He has blessed GUIDANCE IS A BLESSING OF ALLAH NO ONE IS ENTITLED TO IT, NO ONE CAN CLAIM IT FOR THEMSELVES We need to constantly be thankful to Allah for the great blessing we have! WE WOULDNT BE ABLE TO GET HERE OURSELVES THIS IS A BLESSING FROM ALLAH We ATTTRIBUTE this blessing to Allah, YOU have given it to me Ya Allah Allah then talks about EVIL, Evil is the ABCENCE OF GUIDACNE, darkness is the absence of light. EVIL is manifested in 2 different ways Either people become DISOBEDIENT, rebellious, “Im going to do what ever I feel like doing” OR It manifests itself in the form of APATHY, they just don’t care, lost, clueless, they don’t even know they don’t care! WE SEEK PROTECTION FROM ALLAH GHAYRIL (doesn’t say “people who you are angry upon” don’t attribute it to Allah- When we talk about anger, we don’t say Allah sent the anger, THEY brought it upon themselves! Allah identifies what is guidance by pointing out the people before us When he tells us the opposite of that he ONCE AGAIN points out people Yüklə 405,54 Kb. Dostları ilə paylaş:
