What is the straight path
(Through Qur'anic verses)
We recite Surah Fatiha at least 32 times a day. And in it we ask for 'The Straight Path'.
Have we ever thought what is it? A Muslim asking for a straight path? Isn't he already in the straight path? Lets find out what the Qur'an says about the 'Straight Path'.
Say to them (O Muhammad!): 'Come, let me recite what your Lord has laid down to you:
(i) that you associate nothing with Him;
(ii) and do good to your parents;
(iii) and do not slay your children out of fear of poverty. We provide you and will likewise provide them with sustenance;
(iv) and do not even draw to things shameful - be they open or secret;
(v) and do not slay the soul sanctified by Allah except in just cause; this He has enjoined upon you so that you may understand; ( 151 )
(vi) and do not even draw near to the property of the orphan in his minority except in the best manner;
(vii) and give full measures and weight with justice; We do not burden anyone beyond his capacity; (viii) When you speak, be just, even though it concern a near of kin;
(ix) and fulfill the covenant of Allah. That is what He has enjoined upon you so that you may take heed. ( 152 )
(x) This is My way -that which is straight: follow it, then, and do not follow other paths lest they scatter you from His path. This is what He has enjoined upon you, so that you may beware.' ( 153 )
(Surah An'aam: 6: 151-153)
May Allah guide us to straight path, Ameen!
