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.

Reviews for The Straight Path: How Surah al-Fatiha Addresses Modern Ideologies

“It’s rare to find a book that makes you pause, that makes you rethink how you see the world. The Straight Path by Dr Nazir Khan is one of those rare works. The seven verses of Sūrah al-Fātiḥah are not only spiritually potent but intellectually surgical; each verse, in divine sequence, addresses a core modern ideology that has shaped (and distorted) the contemporary human mind. Rather than force the reader into shallow parallels between scripture and society, the author walks you through the Fātiḥah as though through a garden, letting the verses speak for themselves while gently pointing to how each divine truth uproots a false one. This is not just a book for students of theology; it’s for anyone who has ever felt the tension between modern life and timeless truth. More than a book, The Straight Path is a lens — through which both the Qur’an and the world come into clearer view.”  - Dr. Osman Latiff  [Senior Researcher, Sapience Institute]
