What is the Straight Path

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!
