In today's episode of "Be Quranic," we focus on the second ayah of Surah Al-Fatiha, exploring the concept of 'Alhamdulillah' and its role in achieving happiness through gratitude, central to Islamic teachings. We delve into the deeper meaning of 'Rabb', beyond its common translation as 'Lord', highlighting its nuances of ownership, care, nourishment, and complete authority, which distinguishes Allah as a nurturing and provident deity. This episode also draws parallels between Allah's role as 'Rabb' and the role of a housewife, revered as 'Rabbatul Bait' in a household, to illustrate the profound and caring relationship between Allah and His creations. We conclude by emphasising the awe-inspiring magnitude of Allah as 'Rabb Al-Alamin', the Lord of all worlds, and the significance of recognising this in our prayers, reinforcing our privileged status as His chosen servants.
