Guide us in the straight path - The Opening?

"Guide us in the Straight path, the path of those whom Thou has blessed."

But the question is what could be the 'straight path'?

Will it be straight when we exclusively follow and perform Koran?

Or should we give heed to the human interpretation of Koran & Sunnah that has already seggregated Muslims as early as 225 Hijrah?

    33:21 Truly, in the messenger of the God, you have a good example for him who looks to God and the last day, and remembers God much

    4:80 He who obeys the Messenger has obeyed Allah ; but those who turn away - We have not sent you over them as a guardian.

    3:32 Say, "Obey Allah and the Messenger." But if they turn away - then indeed, Allah does not like the disbelievers.

    ____________________________________________

    3:31. Say, [O Muhammad], "If you should love Allah , then follow me, [so] Allah will love you and forgive you your sins. And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful."

    the Straight path means Quran and Sunnah! we can only follow Muhammad(saw) properly through the documented hadiths!!

    The 'straight path' undoubtedly is 'Islam'.

    And the little segregation is not due to the human interpretations of the Quran and Sunnah, but due to a few not 'submitting one self to the Quran and Sunnah', and turning 'rebellious'.

    It is actually a 'blessing in disguise'for the 'Sunni's. Because if not for the 'few' (Shias) who are rebellious, the most wouldn't have known what it is meant to be a 'Sunni' .

    Salam The straight path means the way which is in line with the Qur'an and hadith which is blessed by Allah It means also the straight and very small bridge on the day of judgement which should be passed the people who are being judged If we do not fall we will go to heaven and if we fall we will go to hell.

    The only religion acceptable in the sight of Allah (SWT) is 'Islam'. So, you'll be following the straight path if you follow Allah's words-the Holy Quran and our beloved prophet Muhammad's (pbuh) hadith.

    The thing is many people misinteprate Quran and Hadith. So you need to be careful and not trust everyone when you want Quran and Hadith to be interprated. You should go to someone who gives authentic reference and doesn't quote from the Quran and Hadith out of context.

    In Fateha Quran is guiding humans to follow Quran so as to gain salvation.

    Those who were mislead are Christians and those who faced wrat are Jews.

    Straight path is the shortest distance between man and his Creator which is

    Islam.
