A Conversation with Allaah

by Asma bint Shameem

Want to converse with Allaah one on one and have Him REPLY to you?

Then “concentrate” on al-Faatihah, the next time you stand for prayer. 

He ANSWERS you at EVERY Aayah, as you recite the Aayaat one by one. 

🌿 The Prophet ﷺ said:

“Allaah the exalted said:

‘I have divided the prayer (Surah Al-Faatihah) into two halves between Me and My servant. A half of it is for Me and a half for My servant, and My servant shall acquire what he asked for. 

🍃When the servant says:

‎الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِين

Allaah says: ‘My servant has praised me.’

🍃When he says:

‎الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ

Allaah says: ‘My servant has exalted me.’ 

🍃When he says:

‎مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ

Allaah says: ‘My servant has glorified me and my servant has submitted to me.’

🍃When he says:

‎إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ

 Allaah says: ‘This is between me and my servant, and my servant will have what he has asked for.’

🍃When he says:

اهْدِنَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا الضَّالِّينَ

Allaah says: ‘This is for my servant, and my servant will have what he has asked for.’” 

(Muslim 395)

Subhaan Allaah, what a beautiful conversation!

Just imagine!

Allaah Subhaanahu wa Ta’aala is answering you, replying to you from above the seven heavens, as you say each aayah, every time you recite this amazing surah!

So SLOW DOWN the next time you recite al-Faatihah. 

PAUSE after reading each Aayah. 

REFLECT on the beautiful meanings of these Noble Aayaat.

SAY them with your HEART, not just your tongue.

KNOW that the Owner of the Heavens and the Earth is replying to YOU. 

What an HONOR for a miserable slave of the AlMighty Rabb.

Mind-boggling!
