Al Fatiha- meaning of Al Rabb (The Lord)

Al Fatiha/ The Opening 

The Meaning of Ar-Rabb, the Lord:-
- Alhamdulillahi Rabbil 'alamin
"All the praises and thanks be to Allah, the Lord of the 'Alamin"  [1:1]

- Ar-Rabb is the owner who has full authority over his property. Ar-Rabb, linguistically means, the master or the one who has the authority to lead. All of these meanings are correct for Allah. 
- When it is alone, the word Rabb is used only for Allah. (As for other than Allah, it can be used to say Rabb Ad-Dar, the master of such and such object) Further, it was reported that Ar-Rabb is Allah's Greatest Name.

Lets read suratul fatiha with meaning and understanding in our salah inshaAllah! 
May Allah give us an excellent understanding of His book and may it be for us and not against us on yawmul qiyamah! Ameen
