Surah Al Fatihah, Translations, Benefits, Tafseer, PDF

Dear brothers and Sisters, Surah al-Fatihah (Arabic: سُورَةُ الْفَاتِحَة‎) is the 1st chapter (surah) of the Noble Quran. Its seven verses (ayat) are a prayer for the guidance, lordship and mercy of God (Allah Almighty). Surah Fatihah has an essential role in Islamic prayer (salat).

The primary literal meaning of the expression “al-Fatihah” is “The Opener,” which could refer to this Surah Al Fatihah being “the opener of the Book (Holt Book)” (Fatihat al-kitab), to its being the first Surah Al Fatihah recited full in every prayer (Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, Isha) cycle (rakʿah), or to the manner in which it serves as an opening for many functions in everyday Islamic life. Some Muslims Explain it as a reference to an implied ability of the Al Fatihah to open a person to faith in Allah Almighty.

The name al-Fatihah (“the Opener or the opening”) is due to the subject-matter of the Surah Fatihah  is that which opens a subject or a book or any other thing. In other words, a sort of preface. The Arabic word الفاتحة came from the root Arabic word فتح which means to open, explain, disclose, keys of treasure etc. That means Al Fatihah is the summary of the whole Noble Quran. That is why we recite another Ayat or sura along with Surah Al Fatihah in our prayers. That is, Al Fatihah  is paired with rest of the whole Quran.

It is also called this Surah Faithah (Umm Al-Kitab),  and Umm Al-Quran (“the Mother of the Quran”); Sab’a al Mathani (“Seven repeated [verses]”, an appellation taken from verse 15:87 of the Noble Quran); Al-Hamd (“praise”), because a hadith narrates Muhammad as having said that GOD says: “The prayer [ Al Fatihah] is divided into two halves between Me and My servants.

When the servant of Allah says, ‘All praise is due to Allah ‘, the Lord of existence, God says, ‘My servant has praised Me’.”; Al-Shifa’ (“the Cure”), because a hadith narrates Muhammad as having said: “The Opening of the Book is a cure for every poison.”; Al-Ruqyah (“remedy” or “spiritual cure”)., and al-Asas, “The Foundation”, referring to its serving as a foundation for the entire The Noble Quran.
