How I feel internally is worship, what I hope in is worship, what I trust in is worship, what I love is worship. Additionally, praying, hajj, fasting, inheritance are also worship. Got it? One more time. My teacher used to do this, I used to love it about him. So, we said that in Makkah Allah sent verses about love, hope, fear, trust, repentance, etc.
In Madinah Allah sent verses about jihad, about how to pray for example how to combine prayers , zakah in certain situations, divorce, etc. So we can conclude that everything in Makkah is worship, and everything in Madinah is worship. Everything in Makkah had little to do with rituals, it dealt with behavior and emotions, so that means that behavior and emotions are worship.
Ritualistic acts of worship, from the Madani period, are also worship and they are brought together. You know how you should approach scholars? Not even your worst enemy. We take what we need. Like Imam Ghazali. I seek refuge from Allah.
We should take good from everyone. We should take the fruit we can benefit from. Does Allah love us waking up in the night to pray? One time I was on my campus and this lady was carrying all these bags. Afterwards she asked me if I am Muslim and I said yes.
Allah loves us to be kind to people. Allah loves us to be active politically — like now about Iraq. Allah loves us to do so many things. It is true that the prayer performed individually is also accepted in Islam, but personal worship is considered as the secondary degree.
We have to confront different forces in this world, both the forces in nature and our innate, or inborn natural forces. To be able to challenge with these destructive, misleading factors, we need to be helped. Hence, we shelter under the protective umbrella of Allah. We do the same in the evening before we go to bed. We get up in the morning with His remembrance, and we go to bed in the evening with His remembrance, and each time we ask help from His Pure Essence.
What an excellent state this is for the person who is in this stage of Faith! He never bows to any tyrant. He never loses himself for the attraction of material gain, and as the Qur'an reveals about the Prophet of Islam S , saying:. Therefore, the recitation of this Holy Surah may provide the solution to all problems in our lives. It has plenty of properties which can bring us to safety.
An example is from a narration cited by one of the companions of the Prophet S. He said that in one of the battles, he was with the Messenger of Allah S. When the fight became difficult, he S lifted his head and said: " O ' Master of the Day of Judgement! Thee alone do we worship and of Thee only we seek help ". At that moment the army of enemies was defeated and many of them were killed while the Prophet S and Muslims won. It is stated in another narration: " When a difficulty arises for a believing servant, and he recites this Holy verse, it will become easy for him".
Such a man, in the above stated condition, is a believing one who is acquainted with the Lordship of his Lord, but it is possible, too, that suddenly he would cease to receive this bounty because of some component of wickedness, and, consequently, he would stray from the Right Path.
Therefore, he must ask his Lord, at least ten times a day, to protect him from any kind of aberration. All people are not on the same level of spiritual preparedness necessary for attaining these stages. Whatever stages a person attains, there are still some higher stages above them that a believing servant might ask Allah to guide him to reach. Besides, supposing the statement is true about us, the ordinary believers, but what about the holy Prophet and sinless Imams as who were the examples of complete human beings?
In answer to this question, we may say:. Firstly, the fact is that Man is liable to deviate from the Right Path with each step that he takes as he is walking along the path of guidance. So, he should rely on Allah and ask Him to keep him firm on the 'Straight Path'. We must not forget that our existence, our being, and all the bounties which always come to us, are from His Origin. To clarify the matter, we cite a simple example:. All creatures, including human beings, from one point of view resemble an electric lamp.
We see that the light of a lamp, when it is on, appears to be constant and monotonous. The reason is that the electrical current flows constantly from a generator to the lamp. The generator continuously produces some new electrical power, a part of which reaches the lamp by some connective wires.
Our being is similar to the lamp. Although it appears as a sustained being, it is, in fact, a continually renewed being that flows ceaselessly to us from the Original Being, the Bountiful Creator. Therefore, as the continually new being reaches us, we need constant new guidance, too.
It is natural that if something wrong or some barriers manifest themselves in our spiritual connective wires with Allah; the vices, injustice, wrong doings, etc. Secondly, receiving 'guidance' is the same as travelling the path of 'development' along which man can gradually promote from lower degrees to higher and higher ones. We also know that the path of development is endless and continues towards 'infinity'.
Does 'Salawat' not have the meaning of requesting new blessings from Allah for Prophet Mohammad and his descendants S? This explanation makes clear the answer to the question regarding the benediction which we recite for the Prophet and the sinless Imams as by which We beseech Allah, in fact, for a higher and better position for them all as.
This shows the belief aspect. These verses, here, point to the 'practical' aspects of the 'religion of truth'. They urge us not to commit any Satanic deed or any wrong action. It is necessary to mention this point that the 'Straight Path' is always only one way, not more than that, because the shortest distance between two points is always only one straight line.
Therefore, when the Qur'an says that the 'Straight Path' is the very true belief in the Divine religion with its moral and practical aspects; it is because it is the shortest route to a spiritual connection with Allah. Later it will be made evident that 'Islam' has a vast meaning which envelops all the monotheistic religions that were lawful at their own times but were nullified by the new one.
Thus, it clarifies that all different commentaries that commentators have cited on the matter, i. Islam, the Pure Unity, Qur'an, the Prophet, and his vicegerents as , are some explications that commentators have offered for the meaning of the 'Straight Path'.
Also all of the various narrations and traditions cited on the subject in the Islamic sources, each of which points to a separate dimension of the question, in substance, refer to one essence. Some examples are as follows:. Here are three traditions from Imam al-Sadiq as , who, when commenting on this verse, said:. This means that their path is based on the doctrine of Islam which consists of the belief in: 'Oneness of Allah', 'Justice', 'Prophethood', 'Imamate', and the 'Hereafter'. There is no doubt that the path of Ahlul Bayt as is the' Straight Path', and that adhering to it causes prosperity and salvation, while pursuing other than that leads to loss and injury.
He who embarked it was rescued from drowning and destruction , but, he who refused it drowned and perished ". Other traditions narrated from Ahlul Bayt as also confirm the concept.
In addition, the well-known tradition 'Thaqalayn ' from the holy Prophet S is another good clear witness to the matter, too. It says:. As was previously stated, it is certain that the holy Prophet S , Hadrat Ali ibn Abi Talib as and all of the other infallible Imams as invited people to the theistic religion of Allah, an invitation to Faith and practice in truth, which elevates Man to the climax of ability, guidance, dignity, and human excellences.
It is, in fact, the inner messenger of a person. Of course, when Man is guided by the above guidance and acts accordingly, he will be worthy of receiving the blessings of the next world; this is made possible through the development of the soul by acquiring knowledge, good habits, and commendable moral qualities in which state he will certainly attain the happiness of this world and that of the next, together with the infinite grace of Allah.
But, really, Allah is the main Supreme Guide, and these are the means appointed for the guidance of Man. It says that the person asks Allah to guide him onto the path of those on whom He has blessed with many kinds of bounties; such as the blessings of guidance, success, the leadership of people of truth, knowledge, good actions, holy wars and martyrdom ; not those who deserved His wrath because of their wrong doings, nor those who neglected the right path and went astray.
In fact, we are not familiar with the method of guidance, so the Lord's command, in this verse, is that we ask for the path of the prophets, good doers and all of those to whom Allah has extended His bounties, blessings and favours. It also warns us that there are two deviated paths in front of us: the path of those inflicted with His wrath, and the path of those gone astray.
As it demonstrates, this verse introduces the people on whom the bounties and Mercy of Allah are bestowed. They are four groups; the Prophets, the Sincere, the Witnesses, and the Righteous.
These four states may refer to an idea that: for the attainment of a sound, progressive and faithful society, prophets and divine leaders should form the foundation.
After the prophets are the sincere truthful missionaries and preachers whose words attest to their actions by extend the prophets' missions throughout their societies. Following this period of the formation of these structural states, naturally, some evil-minded individuals, who serve as barriers on the path of truth, may appear in the way. There should be some others to stand against them. The fruit of these struggles and devotions is yielded as 'the Righteous' with whom the society can be pure, efficient, and abounding with spirituality.
Therefore, in the Holy Surah Al-Fatihah The Opening , we are encouraged to repeatedly ask Allah, during the day and night, that we be led on the path of these previously mentioned four groups, and, obviously at each time, we must emphasize with sincere effort and endeavour, on one of these four states more than the others in order to perform our duty and mission well.
The separation of these two groups from each other indicates that each group has some defining characteristics.
And, for these two very reasons, the Curse and Wrath of Allah have been cited towards them in frequent occurrences in the Qur'an. The followings are some instances:. However, this group, i.
This idea was formed because of the particular responses that these two groups showed in reply to the invitation to Islam. For, as the Qur'an has clearly pointed out in different verses, the misguided Jews used to show a special grudge and enmity against the invitation of Islam, though, at the beginning, their scholars and learned men were the bearers of the glad tidings of Islam.
Very soon, though, under the effect of deviation of thought, belief and notion, and, also, because their financial gains were being endangered, they became the most obstinate enemies of Islam and they did whatever evil they could against the progression of lslam and Muslims. Even today, Zionism and Zionists hold the same position regarding the manner in which they treat Islam and Muslims. They believed in the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost instead of clinging to true Monotheism, the worship of Allah.
This is, in itself, one of the greatest examples of 'astray' and 'aberration'. The foundation of this interpretation is the same as was mentioned in the above. They try vigorously to change others to become like themselves. The references to this meaning are the verses that introduce the persons who obstruct the way of guidance of others and are mentioned in the Holy Qur'an as 'those who would hinder men from the Path of Allah'. Other traditions have also been cited concerning the matter, including a narration from Amir-ul-Mu'mineen Ali as.
