This video fascinates me. I would like you to think about it and write about it. Here are some questions that should think about:

1. Al-Fatihah is a surah that is paired with another surah – meaning that surah al-Fatihahcolours the way you understand the whole Qur’an. For example, whenever you are reading the Qur’an, you never forget that Allah is your Rabb, He is Ar-Rahman, Ar-Raheem and Maliki YaumiDeen
2. Whatever you ask for in your du’a is answered – whether you get the answer in this world or the Hereafter is a separate issue.
3. The idea that every time you read al-Fatihah, you are having a conversation with Allah. You are not simply reading alone, you are having a conversation and Allah is responding to you in the Unseen.

Required:

1. On a daily basis, think about these questions and write a reflection in a diary on a regular basis. Link what happens to your life and relate it to the surah. Try to write down at least 10 entries. Discuss the spiritual benefits of keeping a diary on surah al-Fatihah.
2. Before doing this assignment, had you given any serious thought about al-fatihah?
3. Reflecting on the Qur’an is useful – explain
4. Reflecting on the Qur’an is easy or difficult – explain
