Al-Fatiha (The Opening)

Al-Fatiha is a prayer that serves as the opening chapter of the Holy Quran, which translates as "The Opening." It is a preface to the Quran and is considered the most significant chapter. It is an essential component of Islamic worship and is recited numerous times daily. By reciting Al-Fatiha, a person seeks Allah's guidance and mercy to lead them on the right path. Allah, in turn, responds to this request by presenting the whole Quran, which is the literal word of Allah, as a guide for the person to follow in their daily life.

Verse 21: In this verse, Allah Almighty addresses humanity and asks to worship (enslavement i.e. obeying Allah in every aspect of life) their Lord who is the creator of all mankind.

Al-Baqarah (The Cow) Verses 28 to 29

Verse 28: This verse powerfully illustrates the stages of our existence governed by Allah. We began as lifeless, were given life by His will, and were placed in this world for a finite time as a test. Death will come, followed by resurrection, and we will return to Him for judgment. The inevitability of death manifests Allah's supreme authority, reminding us that no matter how much we try, we can never escape the end of worldly life. Therefore, Allah urges disbelievers to reflect on their helplessness before His omnipotence and abandon their ignorance of these profound truths. Verse 29: Allah Almighty draws our attention to the observable existence of the earth and the sky. However, He also hints toward the existence of seven heavens so that we do not confine His creation to the single visible sky due to our limited human understanding. Instead, we should recognize that His creation extends far beyond our imagination. Scholars hold differing views regarding the significance of ...
