In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
Praise be to Allah The Cherisher and Sustainer of the Worlds; 1
Most Gracious, Most Merciful;
Master of the Day of Judgement. 2
You do we worship, 3 And You do we call on for help.
Guide us along the straight way,
The way of those upon whom You have bestowed Your Grace, Not those whom You are angry with. And not those who are lost. 4
Commentary of Surah Al-Fatihah-S. Abul A'la Maududi
"Allah is the Light of the heavens and earth. His Light can be likened to a niche in which is a lamp. The lamp is in a glass, the glass is as it were a brightly shining star, lit from a blessed olive tree from neither the East nor the West. Its very oil would almost glow though no fire touched it. Light Upon Light: Allah guides to His Light whom He wills. Allah sets forth allegories for mankind, and He has complete knowledge of all things." (Qur'an, 24:35)
