Repetition, Remembrance, and Rejuvenation
I love Surah Fatihah.
In the name of Allah, The Most Beneficent, The Most Merciful
Praise be to Allah, Lord of all that exists
The Most Beneficent, The Most Merciful
Master of the Day of Judgement
You alone do we worship, and from You alone do we seek guidance
Guide us onto the Sirat Ul Mustaqeem, the Straight Path
The way of those who have gained Your Favour, and not of those who have Your Anger, nor of those that have gone astray.
It's touching to know that Allah swt recognizes our true condition, reminding us each prayer of the basics of our faith, over and over again, instilling it in our minds. It only indicates how easy it is to slip up, to forget, within only a few hours, and then we're reminded again.
I just thought that was cool. And why people criticize others is beyond me. If we just listen in on what we're repeating everyday, we'd realize how weak everyone is. Otherwise we'd only have to say it once. Honestly, we're all human, get over it.
