00:00:00.300 --> 00:00:03.299
A verse and its Tafsir.

00:00:03.299 --> 00:00:06.980
Allah the Exalted says:

00:00:06.980 --> 00:00:12.980
“Thee (alone) we worship; Thee (alone) we ask for help.” (1:5)

00:00:14.419 --> 00:00:17.420
This verse is of immense significance.

00:00:17.420 --> 00:00:19.420
For this reason, some of the salaf said:

00:00:19.420 --> 00:00:22.420
Al-Fatihah is the secret of the Qur'an.

00:00:22.420 --> 00:00:24.420
And the secret of Al-Fatihah is:

00:00:24.420 --> 00:00:28.420
“Thee (alone) we worship; Thee (alone) we ask for help.” (1:5)

00:00:28.420 --> 00:00:30.420
Its meaning is:

00:00:30.420 --> 00:00:33.420
We worship none but You, O Allah.

00:00:33.420 --> 00:00:36.450
And we rely upon none but You.

00:00:36.450 --> 00:00:39.450
And to these two profound meanings,

00:00:39.450 --> 00:00:41.450
The entire religion returns.

00:00:41.450 --> 00:00:44.670
Among its parallels in the Book of Allah is:

00:00:44.670 --> 00:00:47.740
"So worship Him and rely upon Him."

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)

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)

00:01:00.149 --> 00:01:02.570
