.A Brief Summary of Sura al-Fatiha body {font-family:'Thorndale AMT',serif;font-size:12.0pt} h2 {margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;border:none;padding:0;text-align:center;font-family:'Trebuchet MS',Arial,serif;font-weight:bold;font-size:12.0pt;color:#000000;clear:left} A Brief Summary of Sura al-Fatiha[Part Two of the only lesson I gave after having been transferred temporarily from solitary confinement in the third ‘School of Joseph’ to the company of others.]This is a short sample of the lessons given to the Risale-i Nur students in prison:While reciting Sura al-Fatiha during the prayers, it commanded me to expound one drop from its ocean and a single flash from the seven colours in the light of its sun. For sure we had written some very sweet and agreeable points from this sacred treasury in part of the Twenty-Ninth Letter, particularly in the journey of imagination taken in “the Nun of na‘budu,” and the Eight Symbols (Rumuz-u Semaniye), and the Qur’anic commentary Signs of Miraculousness (Ishârâtü’l-I’caz), and in other parts of the Risale-i Nur, but I felt obliged to write down my reflections during the prayers, but only the allusions to the pillars of belief and their proofs from that very sweet Qur’anic summary, in the form of a concise extract and in the manner of Part One above. So referring the phrase In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate to two or three treatises of the Risale-i Nur, I am starting from All praise be to God:In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate. * All praise be to God, the Sustainer of the All the Worlds. * The Merciful, the Compassionate; * Owner of the Day of Judgement; * You alone do we worship and from You alone do we seek help; * Guide us to the Straight Path; * The path of those whom You have blessed, not those who have received Your anger, nor those who have gone astray.1FIRST PHRASE: ‘All praise be to God’A very brief allusion to the proof of the truths of belief in this phrase.Filling the face of the earth, indeed, the universe, are intentional bestowals and bounties, which are the cause of praise and thanks, especially the sending of pure, clean, nutritious milk to infants from between blood and excrement; so too are there purposeful gifts and presents, and kindly benefactions and feasts. The price of these is to say “In the Name of God” at the start, “All praise be to God” at the end, and in the middle to perceive the bestowal in the bounty, and through it to recognize your
