Surah Al-Fatiha is the first chapter of the Quran and is often referred to as "The Opening." It consists of seven verses and holds a central place in Islamic worship, being recited in every unit of prayer (Salah).
The Surah emphasizes the oneness of Allah, His mercy, and His role as the Master of the Day of Judgment. It is both a supplication for guidance and a reminder of the straight path followed by those who earned Allah’s favor. It serves as a foundation for the entire Quran, encapsulating its central themes of faith, worship, and reliance on divine guidance.
