It is you we worship, and upon you we call for help
Al - Quran 1:5
"Iyyāka na'budu wa iyyāka nasta'īn."
Translation: "It is You we worship, and upon You we call for help."
This verse from Surah Al-Fatiha emphasizes the fundamental concept of Tawhid (the Oneness of Allah) in Islam. It highlights two key principles:
1. Worship ('Ibadah): The verse declares that all forms of worship are directed solely to Allah. This affirms that no other being or entity deserves worship besides Him.
2. Seeking Help (Isti'ana): It emphasizes that all reliance and trust for assistance, both in worldly and spiritual matters, should be placed in Allah alone, as He is the ultimate source of help.
This dual concept strengthens the believer's bond with Allah, ensuring sincerity in worship and complete trust in His guidance.
