سُوۡرَةُ الفَاتِحَة
بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ (١)
1- With the Ism of Allah, the Rahman the Raheem.
1-Mohammad bin Muslim asked Imam Jafar Sadiq asws about Sab’a Masani and Quran al-Azeem: Is it Fatiha? Imam asws said: Yes. He asked: Bismillah Hirrahman Nirraheem is among the seven (Ayaat)? Imam asws said: Yes, it is superior among them. (al-Burhan, v1, p99)
2-Imam Jafar Sadiq asws said: The Sura whose beginning is Tehmeed, middle is Ikhlas, and end is Dua, is Sura Al-Hamd. (al-Burhan, v1, p101)
3-Imam Mohammad Baqir asws said: Akram Ayat which has been stolen from the Book of Allah is Bismillah Hirrahman Nirraheem. (al-Burhan, v1, p101)
4-Rasool Allah sawaw said: When Momin will pass over Siraat, then he will say Bismillah Hirrahman Nirraheem, due to that the flames of Fire will start extinguishing and it (Fire) will say: O Momin, pass quickly because due to your Noor my flames are extinguishing. (al-Burhan, v1, p104)
5-According to a Hadees of Rasool Allah sawaw, on the right cheek of Hoor-ul-Een is written Mohammad Rasool Allah sawaw, and on left cheek Ali-un-Wali Ullah asws, and on forehead Hassan asws, and on chin Hussain asws, and on lips Bismillah Hirrahman Nirraheem. (al-Burhan, v1, p104)
6-Imam Jafar Sadiq asws said about Bismillah Hirrahman Nirraheem: Al-Ba: Bahaullah, and Seen: Sanaullah, and Meem: Mulkullah, and Allah’s Alif: Aala, the Favour of Allah on the creations, our Walayat, and Ha: Hawan (destruction) for that who opposed Mohammad-o-Aal-e-Mohammad asws. Al-Rahman: for all the world, Al-Raheem: specifically only for Momineen. (al-Burhan, v1, p106)
7-Rasool Allah sawaw said that Allah says: If Bismillah is not mentioned in any affair, it will remain incomplete. (al-Burhan, v1, p109)
Lesson:
1-Bismillah is the honoured and superior Ayat of the holy Quran.
2-It is commanded to begin every affair with Bismillah, because Masumeen asws are mentioned in it. Masumeen asws are Asma-e-Husna (beautiful names) of Allah, and holy Quran starts with their mentioning.
ٱهۡدِنَا ٱلصِّرَاطَ ٱلۡمُسۡتَقِيمَ (٦) صِرَاطَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَنۡعَمۡتَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ غَيۡرِ ٱلۡمَغۡضُوبِ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وَلَا ٱلضَّآلِّينَ (٧)
6- Keep guiding us the Straight Path.
7- The Path of those upon whom You have bestowed Your Ne’mat, who never earned (Your) anger, and never went astray.
1-Imam Jafar Sadiq asws said: Sirat al-Mustaqeem means the path of Amir-ul-Momineen asws, and Marifat (knowing) of Imam asws. (al-Burhan, v1, p111)
2-Imam Jafar Sadiq asws said: Sirat al-Mustaqeem means Amir-ul-Momineen asws and his Marifat, and the proof of that it is Amir-ul-Momineen asws is His saying “and he is definitely Ali-un-Hakeem near Us in Ummul Kitab” (al-Zukhraf, v4) and he is Amir-ul-Momineen asws in the saying “Sirat al-Mustaqeem” in Ummul Kitab. (al-Burhan, v1, p111)
3-Imam Jafar Sadiq asws said: Maghzoobe Alaihim are Nassab (Nasbi), and Za’alleen are those who doubt and have no Marifat of Imam asws. (al-Burhan, v1, p111)
4-Imam Jafar Sadiq asws said: Siraat is the path of Marifat of Allah Azza wa Jalla, and they are two paths: Siraat in the world and Siraat in the Hereafter, and Siraat of the world is Ata’at (following, obedience) of Imam asws which is obligatory, whoever gained his (asws) Marifat in the world and followed him (asws) is rightly guided. Second Siraat is that which is a bridge on Hell in the Hereafter, and who did not gain his (asws) Marifat in the world, his feet will slip on the Siraat in the Hereafter and he will fall in the Fire of Hell. (al-Burhan, v1, p 118)
5-Imam Zain-ul-Abideen asws said: There is no veil between Allah and His Hujjat (Masoom asws), nor Allah hides from His Hujjat. We are the doors of Allah, and we are Siraat al-Mustaqeem, and we are the Treasures of His Knowledge, and we are translators of His Wahi (revelation), and we are the pillars of His Tauheed, and we are the safe keepers of His Secrets. (al-Burhan, v1, p119)
6-Imam Jafar Sadiq asws said: The Path of those upon whom You have bestowed Your Ne’mat (Favour) means Mohammad sawaw and his Progeny asws. (al-Burhan, v1, p119)
7-Rasool Allah sawaw said: Shias of Ali asws are those on whom there is Favour due to Walayat of Ali bin Abi Talib asws, there is no wrath on them, nor they are astray. (al-Burhan, v1, p119)
Lesson:
1-Siraat al-Mustaqeem is knowledge of Walayat and obedience of Mohammad-o-Aal-e-Mohammad asws.
2-Siraat al-Mustaqeem is the name of Maola Ali asws in Sura Fatiha (Ummul Kitab), and Allah has given him name “Ali-un-Hakeem”
3-Maghzoob are those Nasbi (competitors) people are raising the flag of Walayat of Fallibles (Walayat-e-Faqeh) in front (competition) of Walayat of Masumeen asws. Za’allen (astray) are those who doubt about Masoom Imams asws, e.g. who doubt about merits, authority, infallibility, knowledge of unseen, Ahadees of Imams asws, moreover they do not think it as necessity of Deen to gain Marifat-e-Noorania of Masumeen asws.
4-Shias are those people who are rightly guided due to Walayat-e-Ali asws, and they will get salvation in the Hereafter due to the same.
5-Leave alone Tafseer (exegesis, explanation) of the holy Quran, even its Translation is the right of Masumeen asws only.
