Surah Al Fatih

Surah Al-Fatiha is the first chapter of the Quran, the holy book of Islam. It is a very important and highly revered surah in Islamic tradition, and it is recited in every rak'ah (unit of prayer) during the daily prayers. The surah is also known as the "Opening" because it serves as an introduction to the Quran.

The surah consists of seven verses, and it begins with the Basmalah, which is the Arabic phrase "Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim," meaning "In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful." The seven verses of the surah are as follows:

1. "In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful."
2. "All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds."
3. "The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful."
4. "Master of the Day of Judgment."
5. "You alone we worship, and You alone we ask for help."
6. "Guide us to the straight path,"
7. "The path of those whom You have favored; not of those who have earned Your anger, nor of those who go astray."
Surah Al-Fatiha is considered to be a very powerful and effective surah in terms of seeking Allah's blessings and protection, and it is often recited in times of need or distress. It is also believed to contain the essence of the entire Quran, and it is therefore regarded as a key to unlocking the deeper meanings of the holy book. #quran #quran786 #surahalfatiha
