An Understading of Sura AlFatiha utilising Jezm and Sukoon
-
A?UZUBILLAHIMINASHSHAYITAANIRRAJEEM
I most humbly seek shelter with Allah against the promptings of all evil sources including my own Ego.Dear friends I want to thank Allaha (SWT), who has made me capable to understanding his message, without use of any intermediaries, in less than 2 years. Until the end of 2006, I could not understand a word of scripture. However, in this short time with out any miracles or divine interventions he has made me able, via utilizing faculties of learning that I have utilized in every discipline of learning, except this book.
My utmost gratitude to Dr. Shabbir, who?s work has been a catalyst as well instrumental in clearing all other clutter that surrounds the understanding of the Book. My gratitude is also for my friend Dr. Khalid Naseer, the only other person who does not consider me, as crazy. His words of advice have been instrumental in putting my disarrayed thoughts at times on track. Also the following translation is an attempt based on his advice to test the concept of understanding about Jezm and Sukoon in a systemic manner.
This is an attempt of translation by a student, hence all mistakes are mine. There are few words that I am still seeking more understanding about. All suggestions improvements and criticism will be greatly appreciated.

A foundation (a heart, Arabs used to believe as first part that comes into existence in womb) for mankind from Allaha. The ample and easy state of life that mankind can not conceive by themselves, from your sustainer and maintainer. The greatest mercy from him.
The decree for all width and breath of land, on account of Allaha. One who rears, fosters, nourishes and accomplishes all created beings, capable of acquiring knowledge of science and literature.
The ample and easy state of life, that mankind can not think by themselves, from your sustainer and maintainer. The greatest mercy from him.
This mercy of his, shall be possessor of any era that shall have laws and principles of this Qur?an as its ultimate constitution.
To this constitution you shall direct yourselves and show ultimate devotion and you shall sought help and assistance from it.
This will guide you to the way which is original and the straight, undeviating and unceasing.
This original way will make your life easy and pleasant. I have set a banner and a standard for you to avoid irreparable damage to yourselves, and so be not confounded and perplexed, unable to see the right course.

Few words that I was looking for better understanding. Thanks to Him are so understood now. Here is the better understading based on the language of exalted prophet.
