The beginning.. Opening

I’ve often wondered and reflected upon the Opening Chapter of the “Quran”.. Al-Fatiha.
It’s an opener, a du’a to Allah(swt) if done with all consciousness, in the 5 daily prayers!
Some of the different name of the Surah, Umul Qur’an (Mother of the Qur’an), Ash-Shafia’ (The curer), Al-Wafia (Complete), Al-Kafiyah (Sufficient), Wal hamd, Saba-al-mithani.
Subhan’Alla in the seven ayahs lies so much, our aqeedah, ideology, our connection with the Rabb.
Alhamdullilah:Praise is more than Alham…
Rabil-Alaymeen : Rabb, Lord of the Universe..
Rabb: Controller, Master, Allah(swt) created us…

Wahadad-al-aqeedah (Basis of our Aqeedah)
*Allah(swt) is the Creator, Allah(swt) is ar-Rahman, ar-Raheem.. He(swt) deals with HIS creation with Rahmah.
Ar-Rahman: Utmost Mercy
Ar-Raheem: Continuity of Mercy

*Mercy upon HIS creation. Subhan’Allah, Mercy upon despicable souls like me…

When Reciting this beautiful Surah, make du’a (supplication), visualize the straight path and affirm your belief..


Surah al-Fatiha
In the name of God, The Beneficent, The Meriful

All praise is to Allah, Lord of the Universe
The Entirely Merciful, The Especially Meriful
Sovereign of the Day of Recompense
It is YOU we worship and YOU we ask for help
Guide us to the Straight path
The path of those upon whom YOU have bestowed favor, not of those who have evoked YOUR wrath or of those who are astray.
