Iyyaka na'budu wa-iyyaka nasta'in (You alone we worship and from You alone we seek help)

In the fifth verse of the Fatiha the address shifts from the third person to the second. Sha'rawi holds that this places the worshipper before God, and that placing "You" first confines worship and seeking help to God alone. ^{1 2}

Sha'rawi holds that worship is submission to God's method of doing and not doing, and that prostration is the highest form of it, since a person sets the most honoured part of himself on the ground. ²

Sha'rawi holds that one who seeks help from another human receives help bounded by that human's humanity, whereas seeking help from the Living, the Self-Subsisting, frees the believer from the humiliation of this world. ³

Sha'rawi distinguishes eye-sight from faith-sight and holds the latter stronger, as an insight, citing the hadith of ihsan which he attributes to Muslim. ^{4 5}

This is Sha'rawi's reading and is attributed to him. The scan gives no other grammatical or exegetical view on the shift or the fronting, and none has been checked.
