Guidance To The Right Way Guarantees Happiness In This World And Salvation In The Hereafter!
Allah said in the Qur’an:
اهْدِنَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا الضَّالِّينَ
Guide us on the straight path; the path of those on whom You have bestowed Your favours, not those who have incurred Your wrath, nor those who have gone astray. [Al-Qur’an: Surah Al-Faatihah 1:6-7]
With these words a believer pleads to be shown the Right Way and to be helped along it, which cannot be achieved without Allah’s guidance, care and mercy.
To acknowledge that is in itself a recognition of Allah’s sovereignty and dominance over all things and events.
Guidance to the right way of life guarantees man’s happiness in this world and and salvation in the hereafter.
These verses reveal the nature of the “straight path” as being one taken by those whom Allah has favoured, not the way of those who have earned His displeasure by their deviation from the Truth, nor that of the heedless who have no knowledge of the truth.
