Description of Surah Al-Fatiha, Ayat 2 (Urdu Translation and Tafsir)
Ayat:
“الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ”
(Alhamdulillahi Rabbil Aalameen)
Translation: “All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of all the worlds.”
Urdu Translation:
تمام تعریفیں اللہ ہی کے لیے ہیں، جو تمام جہانوں کا پالنے والا ہے۔
Tafsir (Explanation):
- Praise for Allah:
This stanza announces that all types of commendation, appreciation, and affirmation of flawlessness have a place exclusively with Allah. Whether it is for His benevolence, equity, or the incalculable gifts He gives, all are coordinated towards Him as the Maker and Sustainer. - Allah as the Sustainer:
The expression Rabbil Aalameen makes sense of that Allah is the Rabb (Master) of the whole universe, including all living and non-living creatures. The term Aalameen (universes) means the actual world as well as all domains, including the inconspicuous world, heavenly messengers, and jinn. - Perfection of Allah’s Attributes:
By expressing Alhamdulillah, this refrain features Allah’s outright flawlessness in the entirety of His credits — like kindness, shrewdness, power, and equity. - Dependency on Allah:
It reminds people that Allah alone gives food and care to each creation, stressing His job as a definitive Supplier and Sustainer. - Universal Message:
The comprehensiveness of the message implies that Allah isn’t simply the Lord of one country or gathering yet the whole universe, joining all humankind under His sway.
This refrain lays out the establishment for understanding Allah’s highness and welcomes adherents to think about their relationship with Him, recognizing His gifts and sway in each part of life.
