 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yaum Al-ithnayn, 17th day of Jumaadal Aakhir 1447AH, Monday, 8th December, 2025.

TAFSEER OF SURAH AL-FĀTIḤAH WITH CONTEXT, COMMENTARY, MEANINGS, and PRACTICAL LESSONS WE CAN APPLY IN OUR DAILY LIFE. BismilLah.


Surah Al-Fātiḥah is the opening of the Qur’an, recited in every unit of prayer (ṣalāh). It is a dua’ taught by ALLAH Azzawajal HIMSELF, a conversation between a servant and His LORD.


The Prophet ﷺ said: “There is no prayer for the one who does not recite Umm al-Kitāb (Sahih al-Bukhari). This shows its spiritual weight: Our salah is a conversation with ALLAH Azzawajal.


Let's study it's meaning, lessons and reflections. 

1️⃣  بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

“In the Name of ALLAH, the Most Merciful, the Especially Merciful.” We begin everything with ALLAH’S name, symbolising dependence, not independence.

“Ar-Raḥmān” = ALLAH’S mercy that covers everything.

“Ar-Raḥīm” = a special, continuous mercy for the believers.

Lesson: Begin your tasks with “Bismillah”; it brings barakah and protection.

2️⃣  الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

“All praise is for ALLAH, Lord of all worlds.” ALLAH deserves praise for who HE is and what HE does, whether we see HIS wisdom or not. “Rabb” means: Creator, Sustainer, Provider, Caregiver, Owner.

Lessons: Gratitude increases our blessings. ALLAH Azzawajal cares for us in every moment, even when we don’t realise it. To be continued tomorrow in Shaa ALLAH. May ALLAH Azzawajal keep guiding and protecting us from any satanic influences. Aameen.


DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yaum Athalaatha, 18th day of Jumaadal Aakhir 1447AH, Tuesday, 9th December, 2025. TAFSEER OF SURAH AL-FĀTIḤAH WITH CONTEXT, COMMENTARY, MEANINGS, and PRACTICAL LESSONS WE CAN APPLY IN OUR DAILY LIFE continues. BismilLah.


Let's continue with the meaning, lessons and reflections of SuuratulFaatihah. 

3️⃣ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

“The Most Merciful, the Especially Merciful.” Repeated again to show: the foundation of the relationship between ALLAH Azzawajal and HIS servants is MERCY.

Lesson: Never despair of the mercy of ALLAH, no matter your mistakes.

4️⃣ مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ

“Master of the Day of Judgment.”

ALLAH Azzawajal alone will judge; no power, wealth, family, or status will help us. “Mālik” shows HIS ownership; “Malik” (King) shows authority and both are HIS.

Lessons:

Be mindful of the Day of Judgment. Live with accountability. Wronging others will be taken seriously.

5️⃣ إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ

“YOU alone we worship, and from YOU alone we seek help.”

The most powerful declaration of TAWHEED in the Qur’an. First half: pure devotion. Second half: admission of absolute need.

Lessons:

Worship ALLAH Azzawajal sincerely: salah, dua, charity, obedience. Seek HIS help in everything, problems, marriage, children, work, health. To be continued tomorrow in Shaa ALLAH. May ALLAH Azzawajal keep guiding and protecting us from any satanic influences. Aameen.

DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yaum Arba'a, 19th day of Jumaadal Aakhir 1447AH, Wednesday, 10th December, 2025. TAFSEER OF SURAH AL-FĀTIḤAH WITH CONTEXT, COMMENTARY, MEANINGS, and PRACTICAL LESSONS WE CAN APPLY IN OUR DAILY LIFE continues. BismilLah.


Let's continue with the meaning, lessons and reflections of SuuratulFaatihah. 

6️⃣  اهْدِنَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ

“Guide us to the straight path.” The most important dua in a Muslim’s life.

Guidance is not just knowing the truth; it is practicing it, loving it, and staying firm on it.

Lessons:

Guidance is not guaranteed, keep asking daily. Without ALLAH’S help, anyone can slip.

7️⃣  صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ

“The path of those You have blessed,”

غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا الضَّالِّينَ

“Not the path of those who earned Your anger nor those who went astray.”

The blessed = prophets, truthful ones, martyrs, righteous believers.

Those who earned anger = those who knew the truth but rejected or distorted it.

Those astray = those who followed desires or misguided ideas.

Lessons:

Knowledge + action = success.

Knowledge without action = ALLAH'S anger. Action without knowledge = misguidance. Hope we've reminded ourselves about the beauty and importance of this suurah. May ALLAH Azzawajal keep guiding and protecting us from any satanic influences. Aameen.

DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum As-Sabt, 5th day of RAJAB (Saturday 29th of February, 2020). LETS BE MINDFUL OF THESE BAD HABITS IN LIFE. BismilLah. Let's remind  ourselves that ALLAH does not love stubborn rejectors of faith, committing sins, and showing ingratitude. ALLAH says: فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْكَافِرِينَ Verily, ALLAH does not love the unbelievers. Qur'an 3:32. Why? Bcs their disbelief in ALLAH and HIS Messenger only grant them the Hellfire. And ALLAH says: وَاللَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ كُلَّ كَفَّارٍ أَثِيمٍ ALLAH does not love any ungrateful sinner. Quran 2:276. ALLAH does not love arrogance, pride, boasting to one another, extravagance, and exultation in wrongdoing. ALLAH says: إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ مَن كَانَ مُخْتَالًا فَخُورًا Verily, ALLAH does not love those who are proud and boastful. Surah An-Nisa 4:36. These few are more than enough to aid us to fear these bad acts in our lives. We ask ALLAH to make us among those who are loved by HIM and who are...
 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Al-Khamis. 25th day of RAJAB, 1444AH (Thursday 16th February. 2023). TOLERANCE WITH PEOPLE IN ISLAM. BismilLaah.  Tolerance (samah) is an important trait of a Muslim’s good character. We Muslims should be kind and gentle, patient with people, forgiving of bad character, and lenient whenever possible. The Prophet Mohammed Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam commanded us to avoid causing unnecessary difficulty and hardship in people’s lives and to inspire people with graceful speech. Make things easy and do not make things difficult. Give glad tidings and do not repel people. Cooperate with each other and do not become divided. Sahih Bukhari 2873, Grade: Muttafaqun Alayhi. This command is closely related to the need of a Muslim to control his or her anger. Unrestrained anger leads to numerous sins and bad deeds, so Muslims must temper their anger with patience, tolerance, and the ability to hold back harmful words. Teasing, mockery, insults to others et...
 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum As-Sabt. 17th day of Jumaadal Aakhir.. (Saturday 30th January 2021). A SERIOUS CONDITION TO FULFILL FOR ALLAH TO ANSWER OUR DUA. BismilLah Consuming haraam wealth is one of the major reason why du’aa’s are not answered. Abu Hurayrah (may ALLAAH be pleased with him) said: the Messenger of ALLAH (peace and blessings of ALLAH be upon him) said: “O people, ALLAAH is Good and only accepts that which is good. ALLAAH commanded the pious to follow the same commandments as HE gave to the Messengers. HE says; ‘O (you) Messengers! Eat of the Tayyibaat [all kinds of Halaal (lawful) foods which ALLAAH has made lawful (meat of slaughtered eatable animals, milk products, fats, vegetables, fruits)] and do righteous deeds. Verily, I am Well-Acquainted with what you do’ [al-Mu’minoon 23:51]. ‘O you who believe (in the Oneness of ALLAAH, Islamic Monotheism)! Eat of the lawful things that I have provided you with’ [al-Baqarah 2:172]. Another important point is to rea...
