Surah Al-Fatiha SubhanAllah, sometimes it's breath-takingly overwhelming to realise that we are actually completely bereft of attaining a true appreciation of the divine mercy and compassion of Allah SWT. The only appreciation we are able to attain 1. is only by His towfeeq in the first place. 2. is through the senses and capacity He has enabled us with. 3. From the vantage point of our own continuous dependencies upon divine favours and our own continuous needs. S. Al-Fatiha is always a means of self recognition for me, as much as it is our first exposure and recognition of the attributes Allah SWT has chosen for Himself...and It's yet again with another overwhelming wave of awe that I find my self subject to His immense compassion, that He choose these attributes for us... for me! 🥲 The sublime journey this takes you on from acknowledging the gift of towfeeq that is the Bismillah and then the utterance of الحمد لله uttered to affirm our faith, the compassion of acquaintance then guidance and subtle, loving warning....it all just makes you draw a deep breath and helplessly say....الحمد لله once again... but this time you are offering your gratitude and praise in sincerity-like a missed prayer. This is my first reflection on this platform...sorry for anything said or done out of turn/in the wrong place... I'm good with tech but not with
s.media platforms lol!
