صراط الذین انعمت علیهم غیر المغضوب علیهم و لا الضالین
The beginning of our request to the Lord of the worlds in this first part of the Qur'an in Surah Hamd is from the words "Iyyaka Nabodo Wa Iyyaka Nastain”, there is a lot of knowledge in this verse". In the commentaries, they say that the great example of its help is the topic that comes in the next verse: "اهدنا الصراط المستقیم" All these preliminaries are like a prelude to this phrase Ehdena al-Sirat al-Mustaqim, guide us to the straight path. Then to the end of Surah Hamd It explains the straight path. Duty consists of working diligently for God in the direct path of God. First, we must know this path and the reason is that we in every prayer we repeat, Ehdena al-Sirat al-Mustaqim, that's it
The meaning of straight path
Now what is the direct path? In these verses of the Qur'an in Surah Hamd, God does not specify what the straight path is; In other places [the Qur'an], it has been mentioned, "و ان اعبدونی هذا صراط مستقیم" and many times "ان الله ربی و ربکم فاعبدوه هذا صراط مستقیم" This theme is almost repeated from the words of many prophets in the Qur'an. What is Serat? What does the path of God's worship mean? It means restraining the egos, see; Islam does not destroy the ego, Islam restrains it; Because ego is the engine of movement. It restrains the ego and directs it; Like all my powers and yours. Islam does not destroy sexual lust, but curbs it; It does not destroy aesthetics, but it restrains; It does not completely eliminate, destroy, and consider pleasure seeking as ugly, but Islam restrains it; Islam doesn't consider greed for money and greed for life as ugly and doesn't condemn it, Islam doesn't eradicate it - because it is a means of progress. Islam deems it necessary to create a transformation in nature, but it restrains and guides. In Surah Hamd, it does not tell us the meaning of the straight path - refer to the Qur'an to see what the straight path is -[instead] here it tells us the sign of the path of the straight path: the path of the blessed. "The straight path is the path of those whom you have blessed. As a rule, this blessing is not food and clothing; it is the blessing of divine guidance, it is the spiritual blessing, which is the greatest blessing of Godصراط الذین انعمت علیهم غیر المغضوب علیهم و لا الضالین It is the way of those whom You blessed, You did not get angry with them, and they did not go astray. They must have these three characteristics. God gave them the blessing of guidance and they didn't turn this blessing into God's wrath with their bad behavior. They didn't turn the blessing into punishment for themselves. And due to negligence, they have not seen this blessing; They should not be angered by God and they should not be misguided. You can easily find examples of this way in your own time, in the past, in the beginning of Islam and in history. This way has a specific orientation and tells you what this way is
انعمت علیهم First: You have given them a blessing
You have bestowed blessings upon them First: Blessings upon them; have been blessed by God. In reciting the Qur'an, many have been blessed by God. He says in one place: "For those who are with the prophets, the righteous, the martyrs, and the peacemakers, may God Almighty bless both the prophets and the righteous, the martyrs, and the Salehin has given blessings. They found the right path and did not go astray and did not expose themselves to divine wrath. Those whom God has finished blessing them. He is not angry with them, and their pure laps and firm steps have not gone astray in the slightest, which are their examples, the family of the Prophet and the Imams (peace be upon them). What a person should learn and imitate if necessary is through the guidance of the path of those who have blessed them; We ask the Almighty God to guide us to the path of those who have received divine blessings; This is the way that should be followed. But now that the majority of people in the world speak differently, move differently, behave differently, we must use our own reason, our own religion, and divine guidance as criteria for rejection and acceptance. A believing and Muslim Ummah is that Ummah and nation that takes the standard from the Qur'an and divine guidance This is the standard
مغضوب علیهم Those whom God is angry with
Almighty God has also blessed prophets, saints, martyrs and the righteous. He has also given blessings to Bani Israel. Maghzoob-e-Alayhim" and "zalin" are also
among "انعمت علیهم" It should not be thought that God gives blessings and misleads some people and makes them angry; No, some of them are of two types: Ghair-e-al-Maghzoob-e-Alayhem" according to the Arabic syntactic combination is the adjective انعمت علیهم An'amta 'alayhem Those whom God bestowed upon them. However, those who have been blessed by God are some of those who wasted the blessing by their actions, their misbehavior, their laziness, their deviance, and by surrendering their hearts and bodies to fleeting, diverting desires; They suffered from the wrath of God and the disease of misguidance after being guided, which says, "O God, do not include me among those who have been rewarded; There are some people who kept the blessing with effort and their gratitude. The Bani Israel were among those whom the Almighty God bestowed upon them, and the Qur'an clearly states this meaning: یا بنی اسرائیل اذکرو نعمتی التی انعمت علیکم و انی فضلتکم علی العالمینO Bani Israel, remember my favor that I have bestowed upon you, I also gave you a
very great blessing, because of which you found virtue over all mankind – which has been mentioned many times in the Quran. So they have also been rewarded. Even though they were a "blessing for them", they also became "God's wrath for them”. Our criterion and indicator should be that straight path that has been rewarded and not angered by God, but God, who does not get angry with anyone unreasonable, so that no one angers you, do you get angry with him Unreasonable? It is obvious that Almighty God, who is all-wise and loves His servants more than their mothers, does not get angry for nothing. so the second sign is that there are those who do not be exposed to God's wrath
The blasphemy of blessings from the Israelites
the Bani Israel were like this; مثل الذین حملو التورات; First, they carried the Torah
to them, that is, they gave them the divine tablets – اخذ الالواح -God Almighty also told Moses; Hold these boards firmly. What does it mean? It means that there is a risk of losing it! "They are
powerful" [that is] you have to exert authority in keeping it, and they will take it away. However, they did not do this; They did not keep it.; The Torah was given to them, but they did not carry it. "ثم" means they threw it from their shoulders with a distance. Now what does throwing mean? That is, did they publicly put the Torah and shoot it and destroy it? No, they kept the appearance of the Torah, but they were unaware of its inner meaning! like what Like the parable of the donkey and the four-legged one who carries the books but does not establish any connection with the interior of the books; It does not illuminate itself with the light of the book. Its appearance is Jewish and Mosaic, but its interior is pharaonic or Samerian, so the index is certain in Surah Hamd. If you pay attention to this one verse, many things will become clear. The Islamic system was the indicator of this path and it is the same now. Of course, this indicator may also be used as a blasphemy for four people; Yes, it has been the same since the beginning of the revolution; The beginning of Islam was the same; Some people have always disbelieved; Either they didn't know or they didn't want to benefit, or a thousand types of hijabs, motivations and contaminations didn't allow them to enter this blessed fence - the word لا اله الا الله is safe and they stayed outside.In they talk, they claim, but they are outside, not inside the house; Naturally, they quickly would deny. The children of Israel were not angered from the beginning; Later they were angered. What caused it? This same lack of endurance, lack of care and lack of accuracy. for those places where the path, is uncontrollably crooked and man goes astray and commits wrongdoing. Let's assume, like the case of the huge law breaking Sabbath, or those obstinacies that happened with Prophet Moses and those bloods that they did to the hearts of the prophets و قتلهم الانبیاء بغیر حقAnd they killed the prophets without the truth; They killed all these prophets! Of course, these happened gradually; None of the first ones were like this... Know that the Children of Israel were the most prominent servants of God and the chosen race of God at that time, and this was not easy to achieve either. They had really fought and stood under the pressure of the Pharaonic government for many years. Despite the huge pharaonic rule in Egypt - which is known; You know that the Pharaonic government was an extraordinary government; Today, the signs and works of Pharaoh are shown in history - under the pressure of that government which was both civilized and cruel and very successful in the administration of the country, they did not change their habits, let alone their religion. they preserved their habits and customs, they preserved their own race. I believe that the reason why Pharaoh said: They will slaughter your sons and they will slaughter their men and keep their women alive, he does not say "but their women let them leave, this was to destroy this race, not to let this racial endurance remain; he wanted to destroy the race, his intention was to leave their women in the hands of soldiers and servants and the like so that this race would not remain at all... In the case of Moses, if he was looking for Moses, it would have been enough to kill the children; He did not have to kill men. Keeping women was not a feature to rely on. keeping women - of course not permanently but for a time for a generation or less than a generation - was to destroy the generation; Because you saw that this generation is static and powerful; These were the children of Israel: a chosen race, a warrior, who endured hhardships for several centuries, I think four centuries - they were ruled by pharaohs, they were taken from their center, which is the area of the Holy Temple, to Egypt. They had brought, or they hhad come themselves – since the time of prophet Yusef - and they had stayed there. TThe government was disbelief and these were the believers. They kept that Jacobite and Ishaqian jinn, and that method and tradition; But these were destroyed like this. Why? Because they did not persevere, because they neglected to guide them to the straight path, later their work reached a point where the Almighty God sent a permanent curse on them. Because the Jews until the time of Jesus with Moses and Jesus fought against Prophet Moses and his successors,knowingly and deliberately. They blasphemed the blessing, Therefore ذلک جزینهم بما کفروا و هل نجزی الا الکفور
God Almighty says in Surah Saba. This is their punishment for those who blasphemed the blessing, and is there any punishment except for those who blasphemed the blessing. What is important is that the one who receives a blessing from the Lord of the Universe, what kind of behavior will he show in front of it. Therefore, after receiving the blessing, we should be careful to be grateful for it so that Let's not be among those who are angry with them" or "astray”. The way is also to give thanks. The truth of thanksgiving is that a person knows the blessing from God; Not to say it with his tongue, but to believe with all his heart that the blessings he has are from God. He should not think that he is the one who has provided this blessing for himself. This image will attract wrath and deprivation of God's blessing that “انما اوتیته علی علم Zomar(49); If I say that I have acquired these knowledge and these abilities, I am wrong. The Quran says that; ما اصابک من حسنه فمن الله Every good event that happens to you is from God. And we have a blessing from Allah; و ما بکم من نعمه فمن اللهEvery blessing you have is from God. In prayer, we have been taught to say to the Almighty God, "ما بنا من نعمه فمنک" Every blessing that we have it is from you. The maximum is that we can make ourselves worthy of God's blessings and guardians. This gratitude is a very important thing. The feeling that the blessings are from God solves the problems. It takes a way pride and boasting because of the blessings from man, and man feels that He is active and all that exists belongs to the holy essence of God, He has given, we should ask from Him, , we should expect the continuation of blessings, we should seek refuge in Him, we should appeal to Him, and we should supplicate to Him. It is true
Third: ضالین The misguided
And the third sign is "Wa La -zalin"; that is they have not gone astray. Al-zalin' are
Christians; Because the Christians went astray. The situation of Christianity was such that
they were misled from the beginning - or at least the majority of them were like this, but
the Muslim people were blessed and this blessing was directed towards "Maghzoob-e-Alayhim" and "Al-zalin" were used
The reason for repeating this paragraph in prayer
So, why do we say in every prayer, "Ehdena al-Sirrat Al-Mustaqim * Sirat al-lazina
An'amta 'Alaihim Ghair-e-Al-Maghzoobe 'Alaihim wa-la-zalin", why? Well, once you
said it's over, it's just a prayer; Let's ask God once to show us the right way, if the right way is this general way. That saying this prayer every day and repeating it at least twice in every prayer is because there are always ways that if a person makes a mistake, he may end up in the line of "Maghzoobe Alaihim" and "Zalin"; And if he understands it correctly, it will be entered in the line of "Blessed be upon them"; The line of the prophets, the line of the righteous and the line of friends, the line of the martyrs; The prophets, the martyrs, the righteous and the righteous are those who have the blessings of God. God's blessing must be kept, nurtured, perfected and fixed its defects. It is repeated in every prayer that we should not neglect knowing the way and guidance to Allah is the basis of the matter. In Surah Hamd, it says to find this index and follow it; Inspiration Surah Hamd to us is this
