In this video, I talk about a verse in Surah Fatih that I found very profound and why it is one of the most important verses in the Quran. You alone we worship, and you alone we ask for help. This is what makes Islam unique from all other religions.
00:00:00.000Guys, before the video starts, I'm trying to raise 300,000 meals for 1,000 families in Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, Bangladesh, Boven Sisters, InshaAllah.
00:00:07.260Help us feed them this Ramadan to open and break their fast.
00:00:10.180And one reason I'm doing this, Boven Sisters, is because for many years, due to a variety of reasons, I hesitated to recite the Qur'an because I have internal intentions, because...
00:00:30.000How can we have so many devices with so many apps which help us monitor our progress for our body, but none for the soul?
00:00:37.660Well, the Qur'anly app is about to show you your progress with your soul.
00:00:41.840Yes, that's correct. Not only does it encourage you to read, it tells you how many verses you've read, how many pages you've read, how long you've been on it, and best of all, the Hasana counter.
00:00:50.120Download the Qur'anly app now and have a Ramadan with Allah's book like you've never had before.
00:01:00.000And may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala accept our fast and enter us into Jannah among those who have fasted for his sake.
00:01:07.200In this video, I'm going to be reciting Surah Al-Fatiha, InshaAllah, and I'm going to be talking about one specific verse in there, which I found very profound.
00:01:14.660And I'm going to tell you guys why I'll be reciting, and I'm going to be doing a couple more videos of recitations as well, InshaAllah.
00:01:19.820And I'm going to nominate three people to do the same in the month of Ramadan, because it's the month of the Qur'an.
00:02:53.020This specific statement is what makes Islam unique.
00:02:56.740You alone we worship and you alone we ask for help.
00:03:00.600The pinnacle of Tawheed and differentiates even Muslims who practice forms of shirk by going to the graves and asking the dead.
00:03:08.420Yeah, and there's... I don't want to get into the whole nitty gritty of that.
00:03:11.400There's many videos done by Mufti Munir.
00:03:13.220Sheikh Tahir White has a brilliant video which I'm going to put, which he breaks down.
00:03:16.320One specific individual who claims that it's the act of going and asking people the dead is haram, not shirk.
00:03:23.060But watch that video. It's very beneficial.
00:03:24.840But brothers and sisters, in a nutshell, this here is what makes us different.
00:03:28.660Because this here, this statement, when it comes to all other religions, they always have some kind of other means.
00:03:35.500Be it, for example, going through Jesus or the Hindus having multiple gods or the Quraysh themselves who would worship Al-Lut, Al-Uzza, Al-Manad.
00:03:44.140And they would worship these people and they would say, look, and they affirmed in the Qur'an, Allah says that they would...
00:03:48.860If Allah, if he was to ask them who created heavens and earth, they would say Allah.
00:03:52.180They affirm Allah's rububiyah, he is the Lord.
00:03:55.220But they committed shirk in his ulihiya, in his worship.
00:03:58.180They would say, we go to God through these people.
