Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: “Guide us to the straight path,” and a mention of the modes of recitation for the word “al-Sirat.”

There are two readings of it: with the sin and with the pure sad and . The meaning of al-Sirat here is the path, and the meaning of is guidance to direction and guidance to success. So by saying , you are asking Allah the Exalted for knowledge and action, knowledge and action. This is why the verb is transitive by itself to the object, not with a preposition indicating the goal. Do you understand? It includes guidance to the path, which is through knowledge, and guidance on the path, which is through action and success. His saying: which has no crookedness in it.
