One of the easiest way learning Arabic,especially for Muslims is by understanding the meaning of recitation we frequently used in solat,doa,zikir,and of course the surahs in Holy Quran.This week we will learn the meaning of the first surah in Quran,that is frequently recited during solat,surah Al-Fatihah(The Opening).

Dengan nama Allah, Yang Maha Pemurah, lagi Maha Pengasih.

Al ḥamdu lillāhi rabbi l-'ālamīn

Yang Menguasai pemerintahan hari Pembalasan (hari Akhirat).

5 إِيَّاك نَعْبُدُ وإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِين

Iyyāka na'budu wa iyyāka nasta'īn

Thee(You) do we worship, and Thine(You) aid we seek.

Engkaulah sahaja (Ya Allah) Yang Kami sembah, dan kepada Engkaulah sahaja kami memohon pertolongan.

6 اهدِنَــــا الصِّرَاطَ المُستَقِيمَ

Ihdinā ṣ-ṣirāṭ al-mustaqīm

Show us the straight path,

  Tunjukilah kami jalan yang lurus.

7 صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنعَمتَ عَلَيهِمْ غَيرِ المَغضُوبِ عَلَيهِمْ وَلاَ الضَّالِّين

Ṣirāṭ al-laḏīna an'amta 'alayhim ġayril maġḍūbi 'alayhim walāḍ ḍāllīn

The path of those whom Thou(You) hast favoured; Not the (path) of those who earn Thine(You) anger nor of those who go astray.

Iaitu jalan orang-orang yang Engkau telah kurniakan nikmat kepada mereka, bukan (jalan) orang-orang yang Engkau telah murkai, dan bukan pula (jalan) orang-orang yang sesat.

What Is Arabic?
Arabic language is the mother language for Arabs people,mainly lived in the Arab Peninsular(Middle East) and the northen part of Africa such as Egypt and Morocco.As Islam spread throughout the world,the Arabic language is also being used by the Non-Arabs since the Holy Quran is in the Arabic language.In addition, Islamic practices such as solat and hajj are using Arabic language.

Bahasa Arab ialah bahasa ibunda bagi bangsa Arab yang menduduki Semenanjung Arab(Timur Tengah) dan bahagian utara Afrika seperti Mesir dan Maghribi.Sejak Islam berkembang ke seluruh dunia,bahasa Arab turut digunakan oleh bangsa bukan Arab(Ajam) kerana kitab suci Al-Quran diturunkan,ditulis dan dibaca dalam bahasa Arab.Selain itu,ibadah dalam Islam seperti solat dan puasa turut menggunakan bahasa Arab.
