174- O MANKIND, YOU RECEIVED CONVINCING PROOF FROM YOUR LORD AND WE SENT DOWN A CLEAR LIGHT FROM YOU.

175- AS FOR THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN ALLAH AND HOLD FIRMLY TO HIM, ALLAH WILL ADMIT THEM INTO HIS MERCY AND BOUNTY, AND GUIDE THEM TO HIS THROUGH A STRAIGHT PATH.

Allah the Highest is addressing mankind telling us that we received convincing proof, of every thing Allah the Highest tells us.

Proof that Allah the Highest is one; one only. 

Proof that Allah the Highest sent us prophets and messengers over the decades and centuries, starting with Adam and ending with Mohamed peace upon them.

Allah the Highest sent us the Light of His faith, book and messenger prayer and peace upon him.  All these lights show us the way, the Straight Path to Allah the Highest. (Discussed in detail in Ayahs 17-20 of Sorah Al-Baqarah)

The believers, Allah the Highest admits into His Mercy without which no one will be saved, in this life and in the Hereafter, and His Bounty, without which we are destitute.  The greatest of Allah’s Bounties is the Wisdom, which He bestows upon him prophets, messengers and righteous slaves.

We ask Allah the Highest to guide us to His Straight Path every time we recite Al-Fateha.  It is the only bath to Allah the Highest, and if any one tries any other way, they will be lost.
