 The Fatiha is an ocean. What there are basic meanings that we can bring to mind, as we are reciting it. So when we say Bismillahirrahmanirrahim, we bring to heart that we know that absolutely everything is from Allah. In addition to that, we begin in His name, seeking His help in all of our affairs. Some say that bad is for Isti'ana, seeking the help of Allah. So Bismillahirrahmanirrahim, everything is from Allah, seeking His help in everything that we do. Alhamdulillahirrabaradameen, that we have deep seated gratitude on our hearts for all of Allah's blessing, all of His blessings, and we praise Him. And then, Al-Rahmanirrahim. And again, we've already said Al-Rahmanirrahim in Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. And now we're even repeating a second time, emphasizing the centrality and the importance of mercy is that we bring to heart the comprehensive mercy of Allah, in all of the meanings that the scholar say of Al-Rahmanirrahim. Maliki yawmi ddin. And now this is where it's Jalal-i. So it goes from Jalal to Jalal. That Maliki yawmi ddin, that he is the king or the possessor of the day of judgment, yawmi ddin. And so we bring to heart fear of the standing before Allah, before the king on the day of reckoning. And then we say, iyaka na'aburu wa iyaka nasteen. Iyaka na'aburu. You alone we worship, so we renew our sincerity. Iyaka na'aburu. And so imagine if we're actually present with Allah, with that meaning in our prayer, at least 17 times a day in the Fahd prayers. How that will help us to have sincerity in everything that is that we do. And actually renew our sincerity before every act. Wa iyaka na'asteen. And that we all saw that second part of that verse, and we're aware of our absolute need of Allah. Now we seek His help. Iyyaka ddin al-sir'alt al-mustawkeen. Guide us to the straight path, so we're in need of guidance. And then we're asking for guidance, but then sir'alt al-ladina anam ta'ali. We know that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, there are people that He has guided, that He's bestowed His favor upon. Those are the people who want to be like. And here, what are we intending? So we say, iyyaka ddin al-sir'alt al-mustawkeen. Sir'alt al-ladina anam ta'ali. Those of you bestowed your favor upon. And we know in another verse, Allah ta'ala says, that women yute illaah rasul, f'u'ulayk al-an am'a allahu alayhim. So again, there's a mention of in-am, an am'a allahu alayhim. Allah has bestowed His grace upon them. Mina nabiyyin wa sudikin wa shu'udah wa sadikin. Four categories. So what is our intention? None of us can be prophets. But when we say, iyyaka ddin al-sir'alt al-mustawkeen. Sir'alt al-ladina anam ta'ali. Where is our aspiration? Do we just want to be good? Is our aspiration to be from the s'aliheen? Is our aspiration to be from the shuhada? Or is our aspiration to be from the siddiqeen? We should make the intention to that Allah ta'ala make us from the elect of the elect of His creation. And that we want to not just be from the lower ranks of those that He's bestowed His favor upon, but those who have high ranks. So we should make that intention every time we recite the fatah. Sir'alt al-ladina anam ta'aliin. ghaylin ma'udub al-alihim wa al-daliin. The two main archetypes of misguidance. The ma'udub al-alihim are those who have incurred Allah's wrath. They know, but they fail to put into practice. And the daliin are those who go astray without knowledge. Those are the main two archetypes of the different ways that people go astray.
