About Surah Al-Fatihah

Al-Fatihah, the Opening, is the first surah of the Quran and the one Muslims recite in every unit of every prayer. In seven short verses it praises Allah as the Lord of all worlds, the Most Gracious and Most Merciful, and Master of the Day of Judgment. It then turns into a direct request: to be guided along the straight path, the path of those Allah has blessed. It reads like the perfect opening prayer, which is exactly how it is used.

Themes: Praise of Allah, Guidance, The straight path, Prayer
