Pillar of the Salah This surah has a gigantic importance in prayer.If we dont read it in our Salah, our prayer will non be valid or void. Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said, Surah al-Fatiha is The Mother of the Quran, the Mother of the Book, the septenary Oft-Repeated Verses and the Great recitation. (Tirmidhi)2. The cure for the disease Hazrat Abu Saeed al-Khudri narrates While on a journey we halted at a place.A girl came to us and said The chief of this kinfolk has been stung by a scorpion and our men are not present, is there anybody amongst you who can say something upo n him to treat him?

Thereupon, the chief gave him thirty sheep and gave us all milk to drink. When he returned, we asked our friend Did you know anything to recite upon him to cure him? He said No, I only recited Umm al-Kitab (i.e. Surah al-Fatiha) upon him. We said that do not do anything until we reach Madinah and ask the Prophet regarding this (practice and reward-whether the sheep were lawful or not for us). Upon reaching Madinah, we narrated this to the Prophet (PBUH), whereupon he remarked How did he come to know that Al-Fatiha can be used as a cure?

(Sahih Bukhari)Tafseer of verses of Surah Al-FatihaVerse 01, In the name of Allah It is the first verse of the Surah Al-Fatiha. It means, In the name of Al lah, the beneficial and most merciful. It is very proficient to recite it before doing any work.In The Name of Allah, The Beneficent, The Merciful.The beginning of the Holy Quran is with the name of Allah Almighty, who is the most Beneficient, the most Merciful. This phrase is known as Bismillah and is indwelling to recite doing anything. It seeks mercy and blessing of Allah and is better to recite before starting any work.Verse no 2 The second verse of the Surah-Al-Fatihah is(All) praise is (only) Allahs, the Lord of the worlds. (Al-Fatihah 2)After reciting the phrase Bism-il-lah-is-Rahim, our first objective is to bring our mind toward the Great Creator and Cherisher of the world, and His infinite rewards which have fenced us thoroughly.Al-Hamd means thanks same is the meaning of layperson, but there is a difference between these two words. Hamd is done with the love of Allah Almighty, but on the other hand, shukar is the response of endless bounties which were awarded by Allah Almighty.Then we come to Rabb-UL-Aalameen the meaning of Rabb is generally taken as God, but it is a lot, then that is generally translated Allah Almighty has 99 names, and all of them a possess contrastive meanings, but the core meaning of them is that He is the one who is the creator of everything, Who has supremacy over everything, He is the one who is the Cherisher and many more.Aalameen means the one who is Qadir (supreme) on everything, who command everything, who is the creator of mankind and the jinn. The virtue of the VerseSo, collectively this verse means that all of the thanks and gratitude are towards Allah Almighty, who is the creator of everything in this universe though he is a jinn or anyone from mankind.Verse no 3The third verse of the Surah-Al-Fatihah isThe Beneficent, The Merciful.(Al-Fatihah 3)The meaning of ar-Rehman is the Beneficent and ar-Rahim is the Merciful jointly with the deep sense of meaning and the difference between them, was explained with a lar ge length.As explained above the meaning of these two words, but whenever a word is recurrent in the Holy Quran it emphasizes its meaning. ar-Rehman and ar-Rahim are the most epoch-making attributes of Allah Almighty, are repeated 30 times a day in our prayers.It also refers us to beg to Allah Almighty for mercy on us, Allah wants that His people to ask Him for mercy.Verse no 4The ordinal verse of Surah-Al-Fatihah isMaster of the Day of judgment.(Al-Fatihah 4)In this ayah, our attention is brought toward the second vital principle of Islam, which is the Resurrection and the Hereafter, when it says Master of the Day of judgment.It is a basic base of all righteous and social developments in Man, reaches the peak of perfection when its attention is brought toward the end of his life and his attention is brought to where he is going after this life.The word Maalik is referred to someone who possesses something completely and the Day of judgment is the day of final judgment on which everyone is brought to a platform at which justice is done according to the law of Almighty.Allah Almighty is the Lord of everything from the day when the universe was created to the day when it is again being destroyed.The virtue of the verse This verse of the Holy Quran has a clear message for the mankind that only Allah Almighty is the one Who is Maalik of the day of judgment. So, we should use up prepared for the day when we will have to come in front of the creator and answer about all of the sins and earnest deeds we had done in the present world.Verse no 5 The fifth verse of Surah-Al-Fatihah isThee (alone) do we worship and of Thee (only) do we seek function. (Al-Fatihah 5)Thee (alone) do we worship means Allah is the only Essence to be relied on and worshipped. By admitting that we worship Allah Almighty, we are humble before Allah Almighty and to confess our servitude to Allah and to His Pure Essence help to make us successful in this great challenge.Thee (only) do we se ek help is clearly referring towards the Cherished blessings of Allah Almighty, and bringing our attention toward the point that he is the only one who can help us at all. No one else in the universe can help us in any matter. Iyyaaka nastaeenIt is in our fitrah too that whenever we indulge in any kind of problem we ask Almighty for help unintentionally no matter whatever our resources are?The virtue of the verseThis verse possesses a very charming message for the believers of Allah Almighty that we only worship Allah Almighty by all aspects of life, no matter what the condition is, also it is the only source of becoming successful in the final exam. And it is only Allah Almighty from which we can seek help as he is the most salutary and Merciful.Verse no 6The sixth verse of Surah-Al-Fatihah isGuide us (o Lord) on the straight path.In this verse, we are asking Allah Almighty for help in the form of dua. By saying guide us (oLord) we ask Allah Almighty to show us the right path and guide us on it, in the result, we will get guidance which eventually brings us closer and nearer to Allah Almighty which will result in success.The meaning ofStraight Path is Sirat-e-Mustqeem. Moreover, this straight path is the very Divine faith, has some phases. Whatever phase a person gains, there is still some higher stage above them that a person whitethorn ask Allah to guide him to reach. Mustqeem can be defined as istaqaama which means upright.In the beginning, we asked for a straight path so, why we are requesting for it again, it is only on to emphasize the objective to get the straight path. In another meaning, mustqeem refers to remain firm or to stand firm without tilting.The virtue of this verse In the whole ayah, we are asking Allah Almighty to guide us to follow the right path or the straight path and help us to remain us on the right and straight path because it is the only way that we can get to the Paradise.If we tilted a little or toasted minorly this can be a fat al matter for our success as Allah Almighty is the justest.Verse no 7The seventh verse of Surah-Al-Fatihah isThe path of those upon whom Thou hast bestowed Thy bounties, not (the path) of those inflicted with Thy wrath, nor (of those) gone astrayThis verse is, indeed, a clear illustration of the straight path which was dealt with in the previous verse.By this verse, we can clearly understand that the follower asks Allah Almighty to guide him on those with whom He has blessed with many kinds of blessings. In this verse, we ask Allah Almighty that guides us with the path of those which you had blessed and gave your endless bounties, not with those who were strayed from their path and are in great loss.The virtue of the verseWe bow before Allah Almighty to guide us on the path of those which were awarded by Almightys fruitful awards, not to those who were strayed and are in great loss.Impact of Surah Al-Fatiha on the life of a Muslim as a servant of AllahSurah Al-Fatiha is the said to be the mother of the Holy Quran and it has a core message of the Holy Quran.As a Muslim Surah Al-Fatiha has shall have a positive and significant impact on us.
