Surah Al-Fathiha

The Sheikh focuses on the profound meaning of the Arabic word 'Rabb' (often translated as 'Lord' or 'Cherisher') within the context of the Quran, particularly in Surah Al-Fatiha and its significance in establishing God's absolute oneness and right to worship. The speaker emphasizes that 'Rabb' signifies the One who nurtures, sustains, and fulfills the needs of all creation in every situation, highlighting this attribute as the basis for deserving worship. The repeated use of the word 'Rabb' in the Quran, particularly in confronting disbelievers like Pharaoh and Nimrod, demonstrates its power in arguing for the exclusive sovereignty and right to worship of Allah. Ultimately, the source argues that recognizing Allah as the sole 'Rabb' who creates and provides is essential to understanding and practicing true monotheism.
