Guide us in the right path (Feb 13th 2009)

Today's Friday sermon Huzoor explained the prayer ' Guide us in the right path ' (1:6) from Surah Al-Fatiha, the prayer that we recite several times, in our daily Salat.

'Guide us in the right path' (1:6) is a prayer that seeks a good path, makes a person pious and leads to attain his/her goal making it easier to march forward. This prayer also signifies seeking the wordly knowledge, like our studies, our work and whatever we desire to achieve.

Huzur said the prayer ‘Guide us in the right path’ is a prayer for the guidence of all mankind and all Muslims. When we say this prayer we should include all mankind in this prayer, include all Muslims and include those who are present in our company during prayer.

Those who say this prayer with sincerity of heart and profound devotion are blessed with glad things, irrespective of they are young or old. Allah has named Islam as steadfastness in the Holy Quran , and therin has taught us the prayer "Guide us in the right path" to achieve steadfastness.

Huzoor said Ahmadis who are true believers of the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) should offer special prayers for the safety of all Ahmadis, safety of all Muslim Ummah and safety of all mankind.
May Allah enable us to do so. Ameen.
