Is our Fate really already fixed by Allah !Is there really no free play for Man . There is as if Man's Free Will is non existent anymore the moment he is born as what some misguided Sufis and most of us misinformed ,ignorant practitioners of the faith hold as sacrosanct.

Excerpt from: Imam Mohd Shafi (Pakistan). 11th november 2008 ,which my old classmate ,Lank ,sent to me .I like to share this 'nugget' with my friends on the blog .A wee bit long but Al Fatihah is in essence and in a nutshell ,the Quran .We read it at least 17 time in the course of a day .Like parrots 99.99 % of the time ,especially myself included !
Bear with me as this is a pretty long one for you guys not used to reading 'Tafsir work' ,but remember you are reading 'Divine Precis' , in AlFatihah 's seven precise ayats ,summarising and 'previewing' some 6666 ayats or so of the Glorious Quran ,so how short can you expect the tafsir to be ?

ISLAMIC CULTURE by Allahyarham Tan Sri Dato’ S.O.K. Ubaidulla |

The world witnessed the birth of one of the greatest reformers of mankind – Prophet Muhammad (May Peace and Blessings of God be upon him). How he revolutionsed human thoughts and ways is eloquently evident in every aspect of life and in every corner of the world.
As a result of the preachings of the Prophet and the teachings of the Holy Quran, a well-balanced and well-ordered society "enjoining the right and forbidding the wrong” blossomed in the world and led to what is now called Islamic Culture. The purpose of this brief article is to have a quick glimpse at this Culture.
