Al Fatiha: The Truth and Reality of our Existences

Sahih International: And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me.

Al- Fatihabrings to mind not only the opening of the Quran, but brings to mind the opening of

the way for establishing our purpose.

Sahih International: And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me.

The worship of Allah and the attainment of his nearness, and that man constantly needs his help

for the fulfillment of his life. In addition, it also teaches the human being how to express

thankfulness to Allah for the gift of life.

Al Fatiha the truth and reality of our existences. The Fatiha comes from the word fataha which

means to open, to explain, let out, give victory.

So what is the opposite of open? Close. So what was close for mankind that needed to be open.

What was close from mankind that needed to be open was the knowledge and truth about Gd.

And who close the knowledge and truth about Gd. Satan(Shaitan).

Satan had closed mankind knowledge and truth about Gd. So Allah (SWT) had to reveal orintroduce himself to us. One of the names of Allah is Al Fattah the one who has the key to open.

See man cant introduced Gd or Allah to us only Gd or Allah can introduce himself to

mankind.

So satan want you to make your desire you Gd and not Allah. In the quran satan says that I will

mislead them And I will created in the false desire or false Gd. So people desire become there

Gd such as Drugs, cigarettes, material things anything that you spend more time with thats yourGd.

So how do worship or serve Satan, by letting him cause you to let your desire take over. Like he

They say that African American beg for the need and buy what want and desire.

So Allah has to Introduce himself to us by revealing the Essence of the Quran, the AL Fatiha theessence of the whole Quran. The Al shifaa (the Cure) the remedy for all doubts.

So Allah (SWT) reveals himself to us through the Al Fatiha
