Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Heart of the Qur'an: A Commentary to Sura al Yasin Ayat no. 61-62 In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful And that you should serve Me; this is the right way. And certainly he led astray numerous people from among you. What! could you not then understand? (36:61-62) *** *** True path is the worship of one God The Straight Path is that for which we, at least ten times daily, pray: O God! Guide us on the Straight Path.

The path, which is the shortest way to the neighborhood of Muhammad (‘s), not the bye lanes which are curved and deviating, so that we may not stray from our true aim. The road is so much deviated that it does not lead to paradise and even if it does it will be only after suffering and suspension for thousands of years in Barzakh and Qiyamat. What is the Right Path? God Himself says: And that you should serve Me; this is the right way.

*** *** It is the worship of Only One God (Monotheism), without in any way, worshipping the Satan or passions. Thus this is the Right Path. Of course there is an important point in Monotheism. It is that one should be a God worshipper from every angle and in every aspect. It must never be sometimes God-worship and sometime devil-worship (worshipping anyone except God). Today in the Holy month of Ramadan we worship God, but tomorrow we tread the path of Satan.

It shouldn’t be that when you are negligent in Prayer, you follow the advice of Satan and fall out of the Right Path. And most surely those who do not believe in the hereafter are deviating from the way. (23:74) *** *** When you indulge in sin you have left the Path of God and proceeded on the way of Satan. Pretence and conceit is falling away from path of worship Of course this Path is a spiritual thing, which cannot be touched or felt physically. O the fasting believers! O the praying ones!

If, God forbid, there is no purity of intention there is no monotheism. You would be a polytheist and a hypocrite. It has nothing to do with God. Or if there is one who is conceited and who imagines that he has done an extraordinary thing; for example, he is irked at some delay in food being served. You should know that it is nothing. There is no obligation. It is God Who grants and accepts. What are you and I? He gives a great reward of such little deeds. Who are we?

How can our deeds become noteworthy? It is like “getting the locust’s leg for king Solomon” Multiply it a million times!
