The Opening to The Qur'an

AL-FATIHA

Al-Fatiha or "The Opening" is the first of the 114 chapters of The Noble Qur'an.

The translation of the meanings of this short chapter is as follows:

In the Name of Allah,
The Compassionate, The Merciful.

All praise is to Allah,
The Lord of the Worlds.

The Compassionate,
The Merciful.

Master of the Day of Judgment

You Alone we worship and
You Alone we call on for help.

Guide us to The Straight Way.

The Way of those whom
You have favoured; not of those
who have earned Your wrath, or
of those who have lost The Way.

This was the first complete chapter revealed to Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)

It is the first chapter memorized by a Muslim.

Its recitation is compulsory in every raka' of the prayer. It is recited seventeen times daily in the five obligatory prayers.
