Why every day we say Alhamdulillahi Rabbil Alameen? Praise be to Allah. One important question
that a Muslim faces every day is the meaning and importance of the Surah of Al-Fatiha, the first Surah of Qur'an. And one important ayah is the first ayah of the Qur'an, Alhamdulillahi
Rabbil Alameen, praise be to God. Why is it so important? We express our feelings sometimes
by saying Alhamdulillah, thank God. That's a translation sometimes. But the praise is
more general than that. In Arabic, Alhamd is much more general and important than shukr, thank. So if you praise somebody, you praise him regardless, regardless of a blessing you
have or a hardship that you face. But if you praise him, you praise him because of who
he is or you praise him because of the glory that he has, subhanahu wa ta'ala. And you
say Rabbil Alameen, the Lord of the worlds, meaning that the worlds are important to you and that's why you praise God and you thank him because of these worlds, because of the
existence of these worlds. Because without the existence, for example, the existence of space, you wouldn't know earth. Without the existence of species, mankind would not
function. Without the existence of even bad, good would not be known and distinguished.
So that's why you praise Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala for who he is and you thank him for the existence of these worlds because without these worlds, you would not be able
to serve Allah and to show the blessing you have in life.
