رد: Secret of the Qur’an Sūrat Al-Munājāh (Chapter of The Private Invocation) (Chapter 1) So, rest assured that the more you are sincere to Allah, and the more you are a devout worshiper of Him, the more He grants you help, success, and guidance. The second person pronoun "you" is repeated in Allah's statement: {It is You alone we worship and You alone we ask for help} so as to highlight what is entailed by the statement, and to denote restriction of the meaning, and to evoke its importance. All this implies that it is obligatory to devote worship sincerely to Allah Almighty and seek His help alone. For one to be sincere in seeking Allah's help, he must have two great principles combined in his heart: trust in Allah and reliance upon him. Whoever has his heart attached to Allah, trusts His Ability and Mercy, and relies upon Him, He will Help him and fulfill his need. Dear reader, be certain that in order to achieve your purpose and aim, there is no other way than seeking help from Allah. So, keep your heart attached to Him, be reassured by His Decree in all matters, whether small or great, and beware not to let your heart be inclined to other than Him. And, in your pursuit of lawful means, you should consider them to be of no effect in and off themselves. [9] 9. [9] like someone who fastens the safety belt around himself while on board a plane controlled by a clever pilot, and for Allah belongs the best example. Hence, a Muslim is required to pursue means while being sure that nothing of these lawful means can bring to him benefit or avert harm from him except by Allah's Decree and Will. This is the hard pillar of faith: that you pursue the means while losing hope in them but instead, you pin all your hope on the One Who causes them, may He be exalted. The style in which the verse is introduced:{It is You alone we worship and You alone we ask for help.} implies restriction. So, the meaning is: we restrict obedience and worship to You alone, and dedicate nothing thereof to anyone other than You.This implies that it is mandatory to dedicate worship sincerely to Allah alone, and that lacking this condition renders worship invalid.Whoever understands the meaning of {It is You alone we worship and You alone we ask for help} can never dedicate any sort of worship to other than Allah Almighty.Thus, when a Muslim recites {It is You alone we worship}, should consider treating ostentation, since this statement involves a reminder of the status of sincerity.And when he recites {It is You alone we ask for help}, should consider treating arrogance,as this statement involves a reminder of the slave's need to his Lord.Also, Allah Almighty says:{It is You alone we worship and You alone we ask for help}using the first person plural pronoun 'we', so as to remind people that this upright religion of Islam constitutes a strong bond between the Muslimsregardless of their races and languages, and regardless of the distance between their countries and lands,and that a Muslim is strong when he is among his brothers and with them in the same row.My dear Muslim brother and sister, worship truly purifies the human soul and purges it from the impurities of the worldly life that might affect it.Unless this happens, the purpose of worship is not achieved. If the soul attains purity and sublimity, it will overflow with goodness, giving, and sacrifice in favor of those around it. This is the social impact of worship.But, if this is not achieved, the Muslim is required to reconsider his state and look for the point of deficiency in his worship.One of the most dangerous matters that have afflicted the Muslim ummah is separation between creed and worship on one hand,and between worship and its impacts on the individual and society on the other hand. As a result, worship has turned into a mere habit for many people, with its social and educative implications unfulfilled.The second half((The Right of the Salve))In this situation, the slave starts to implore his Lord, the Compassionate, the Most Merciful. So, he recites Allah's statement:{Guide us to the Straight Path,}while heedful that the greatest thing a slave asks his Lord for is to guide him to the straight path and grant him success to adhere to that path.This is the eternal success in the worldly life and the Hereafter. Verily, guidance is the noblest thing one can ask for, and attaining it is the most sublime grant.The words {Guide us} in Sūrat al-Fātihah is proof that the Book of Allah Almighty is a book of guidance, as further asserted in the statement of Allah, the Exalted:{Surely this Quran guides to what is most upright...}Whoever asks for guidance through the Qur’an, Allah Almighty will guide him, and whoever looks for guidance, he should adhere to the Qur’an.Guidance is of two types: guidance of granting success and inspiration, and guidance of directing and instruction.Anyone who recites Al-Fātihah sincerely, he, in fact, asks Allah to guide him to the straight path, make it clear to him, lead him to know it, and help him to abide by it and be steadfast on it.Using the plural pronoun 'us' in {Guide us to the Straight Path} highlights the believer's keenness on supplicating Allah, and a sign of the Muslim's care for himself, his brethren, family, relatives and all Muslims by including them in his supplication. {It is You alone we worship and You alone we ask for help.} implies restriction. So, the meaning is: we restrict obedience and worship to You alone, and dedicate nothing thereof to anyone other than You. This implies that it is mandatory to dedicate worship sincerely to Allah alone, and that lacking this condition renders worship invalid. Whoever understands the meaning of {It is You alone we worship and You alone we ask for help} can never dedicate any sort of worship to other than Allah Almighty. Thus, when a Muslim recites {It is You alone we worship}, should consider treating ostentation, since this statement involves a reminder of the status of sincerity. And when he recites {It is You alone we ask for help}, should consider treating arrogance, as this statement involves a reminder of the slave's need to his Lord. Also, Allah Almighty says: {It is You alone we worship and You alone we ask for help} using the first person plural pronoun 'we', so as to remind people that this upright religion of Islam constitutes a strong bond between the Muslims regardless of their races and languages, and regardless of the distance between their countries and lands, and that a Muslim is strong when he is among his brothers and with them in the same row. My dear Muslim brother and sister, worship truly purifies the human soul and purges it from the impurities of the worldly life that might affect it. Unless this happens, the purpose of worship is not achieved. If the soul attains purity and sublimity, it will overflow with goodness, giving, and sacrifice in favor of those around it.
