Synopsis

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.
