About Surah Al-Fatihah

Al-Fatihah (“The Opening”) is the first surah of the Quran and is recited in every unit (rak'ah) of the daily prayers. It is also called Umm al-Kitab (“Mother of the Book”) and As-Sab' al-Mathani (“the seven oft-repeated verses”).

In the hadith

  • “There is no prayer for the one who does not recite the Opening of the Book.” (Sahih al-Bukhari 756; Sahih Muslim 394)
  • The Prophet ﷺ described it as the greatest surah in the Quran and “the seven oft-repeated verses”. (Sahih al-Bukhari 4474)
