I'll start with Surah Fatiha because that is the opening of the Qur'an and also because we recite this in every rakaat. As we learn, try to feel the meaning of each word in Namaz.Iss say revision bhi hotee rahay gee aur namaz main jaan bhi aye gee. Today we'll see the meaning of Alhamdolillah.
AL-hamd-le-Allah
It constitutes of two words Hamd and Allah. Both are Urdu words. Hamd belongs to the root Ha Ma Da (hay meem daal). Other words belonging to the same root are Hamid Hammad Hameed. Notice all three have the same root Ha Ma Da. Hence the meaning would also be similar. With practice you should learn to extract the root from every Arabic word. Once you can identify the root, you will be able to know the meaning. Every Arabic word belongs to a root. A root is a three letter combination with a generic meaning. Many words are derived from a single root. Generic meaning of all of them would be same. Specific meaning would be a little different from each other. This is the secret of knowing the Arabic language. For example the root HaMaDa (hay meem daal) means "praise". Hamid means "Hamd karnay wala". Hammad means "bohat Hamd karnay wala". Hameed means "jiss ki Hamd ki gayee ho". Same grammar rule would apply on all words and roots. Like we made Hamid from HaMaDa. We can similarly make Rashid from RaShaDa (Ray Sheen Daal). Root RaShaDa means "hidayat".. hence Rashid means "hidayat paanay wala". We'll talk more about the rules governing roots and how to make words from them. InshaAllah.
There are two grammar rules in AL-hamd-Le-Allah. Whenever there's AL (Alif Laam) attached before a word it litetally means "The". Figuratively here it is meaning "(All of) The". Second grammar rule in AL-hamd-Le-Allah is the use of letter Le (Laam) when attached before a word simply means "For" (sense of belonging).
Rabbe Zidnee Ilma.
Ae Rab mujhe zyada ilm dei.
Amin.
