1:7

Good morning,

Here is the last installment of this Sura

1:7 صراط الذين انعمت عليهم غير المغضوب عليهم ولا الضالين
[1:7]
Sirata allatheena anAAamta AAalayhim ghayri almaghdoobi AAalayhim wala alddalleena

Sirata: Path of

Allatheena: Those

anAAamta: You have bestowed Tenderness/Softness/favor
anAAamta: This is a word that is complex. Everything that is good is included in this meaning. Derivatives of the word include The word NA’IM means soft or something that was shown favor. The word NA’AM means approval and yes. An’AAM means domesticated animals since they are the favored animals. It feels that the essence of the meaning has to deal with Favor (with a hint of approval here).
AAalayhim: over them

anAAamta AAalayhim: You have shown them favor/softness/tenderness, or you have blessed them with everything that is good.

Ghayri: Different from/Not


Almaghdoobi AAalayhim: Those on whom anger has fallen/ They caused one or many to be angry with them.

Wala: and not

Alddalleena: Those who are lost/Who lack guidance

My Note:
This note says “The path of those that you have treated with favor/tenderness/softness/everything good. Not the path of those on whom anger has fallen (From YOU GOD), and not the path of those who are lost.

So the Sura has the following message:

The Qur’an is the word of GOD. It starts with this Sura. GOD is telling his creation to address him as this Sura does and it goes like that.

We offer the Praise to the GOD, nurturer of ALL. The Compassionate, The one who treats all like the womb treats the fetus. Owner of the day of Obligation/judgement. We offer ourselves to be your slaves (Worship, obey, serve and refuse authorities other than yours over us) and we ask you to aid us. Gift us the guidance to the upright/straight path. The path of those that you have treated with favor/tenderness/softness/everything good. Not the path of those on whom anger has fallen (From YOU GOD), and not the path of those who are lost.

I hope that this is helpful to someone. It has been helpful to me. Salam

Hussein
