Are the doors that the verses of Surah Al-Fatihah open – such as the door of gratitude at "Al-hamdulillahi Rabbil ‘Alameen (All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds)," and the door of fear at "Maliki Yawmid-Deen (Master of the Day of Judgment)," and the door of sincerity at "Iyyaka Na’budu wa Iyyaka Nasta’een (You alone we worship, and You alone we ask for help)," and the door of supplication at "Ihdinas-Siratal Mustaqeem (Guide us to the straight path)," and the door of emulating pure souls at "Siratal-ladheena An’amta ‘Alayhim (the path of those upon whom You have bestowed favor)" – valid?

The meaning of the verses is generally correct, for Al-Fatihah is the Mother of the Quran and encompasses its objectives, containing broad meanings. It is stated in the Qudsi that Allah Almighty divided the prayer (Al-Fatihah) into two halves between Himself and His servant: one half for Him, and the other half for His servant and what he requests, by designating each part of it between them.
