Surah Al- Fatiha is the first chapter of the Quran. It consists of seven verses which consist of a prayer for guidance and mercy. Al-Fatiha is recited in Muslim obligatory and voluntary prayers, known as salah. The primary literal meaning of the expression "Al-Fatiha" is "The Opener/The Key"
Reciting Surah Al-Fatiha deepens one's understanding of monotheism (Tawheed) and strengthens faith in Allah's power and authority. Seeking Guidance: The Surah includes the verse "Guide us on the Straight Path" (Quran 1:6), which is a profound supplication for seeking Allah's guidance in all aspects of life.
