On day 9 of "Be Quranic," we delve into Surat Al-Fatiha's fifth ayah, "Iyyaka na'abudu wa iyyaka nasta'een," translating to "Only you we enslave ourselves to and only you we ask for help." This powerful verse defines our relationship with Allah, positioning us as His obedient slaves, continuously serving without expectation. It teaches us to use our intellect in understanding our faith, yet submit to Allah's wisdom without question once our belief is established.
The concept of 'Isti'ana' is highlighted, where we first make efforts and then seek divine assistance, embodying a life that prioritises Allah's rights over our needs. This God-centric approach, as explained by Sheikh Muhammad Muta'walli Sharawee, reminds us to always place Allah at the forefront of our lives, ensuring our actions and plans are centred around His will and guidance.
