00:00:00,300 --> 00:00:03,299
A verse and its Tafsir.

2
00:00:03,299 --> 00:00:06,980
Allah the Exalted says:

3
00:00:06,980 --> 00:00:12,980
“Thee (alone) we worship; Thee (alone) we ask for help.” (1:5)

4
00:00:14,419 --> 00:00:17,420
This verse is of immense significance.

5
00:00:17,420 --> 00:00:19,420
For this reason, some of the salaf said:

6
00:00:19,420 --> 00:00:22,420
Al-Fatihah is the secret of the Qur'an.

7
00:00:22,420 --> 00:00:24,420
And the secret of Al-Fatihah is:

8
00:00:24,420 --> 00:00:28,420
“Thee (alone) we worship; Thee (alone) we ask for help.” (1:5)

9
00:00:28,420 --> 00:00:30,420
Its meaning is:

10
00:00:30,420 --> 00:00:33,420
We worship none but You, O Allah.

11
00:00:33,420 --> 00:00:36,450
And we rely upon none but You.

12
00:00:36,450 --> 00:00:39,450
And to these two profound meanings,

13
00:00:39,450 --> 00:00:41,450
The entire religion returns.

14
00:00:41,450 --> 00:00:44,670
Among its parallels in the Book of Allah is:

15
00:00:44,670 --> 00:00:47,740
"So worship Him and rely upon Him."

16
00:00:47,740 --> 00:00:52,929
“Say: He is the Beneficent. In Him we believe and in Him we put our trust. And ye will soon know who it is that is in error manifest.” (67:29)

17
00:00:52,929 --> 00:01:00,149
“Lord of the East and the West; there is no Allah save Him; so choose thou Him alone for thy defender -” (73:9)

18
00:01:00,149 --> 00:01:02,570
