The Straight Path offers a bold perspective, showing how Surah al-Fatiha directly challenges the dominant ideologies of our time-ideologies that underpin the confusion, injustice, and even atrocities we see today. Nowhere is this failure more evident than in the genocide in Gaza, a grim example of the ethical collapse of secular modernity.
