Says the Prophet ﷺ on this matter:
“He who fluently recites the Quran is noble and obedient with the Angels, and he who stutters and has difficulty reciting it will have two rewards.” (Al Bukhari and Mouslim’s report).
just to name this hadith!
1) Al Fatiha, the most eminent of the surahs
There are other unique benefits to learning about Al Fatiha. One of the Quran’s most significant chapters is Surah Al Fatiha. La Fatiha is the most crucial passage to commit to memory, same as the Throne verse is the most cherished. Al Fatiha is without a doubt the most revered surah.
The verse in Allah’s Book (Exalted be He) can be generally understood as follows:
“We have undoubtedly provided you with the sublime Quran in addition to the seven repeated verses.” (Surah 15 v.87).
Surah Al Fatiha appears to be better than any other Surah in the Quran..
Twenty-five words and one hundred and thirty-three letters make up the seven verses of Surah Al Fatiha. This is the most important chapter that a prophet has ever received revelation from Allah Ta’ala.
According to Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him), the Prophet ﷺ stated the following:
“In all of Allah’s revealed wordings, including the Torah, Bible, Psalms, and even the Koran, there is not a single surah like this one. There are two parts: one reserved for Allah and the other for His servant. She is the mother of the seven repeated lines (Um Al-Qur’an) in the Quran. Reports were given by al-Tirmidhi and al-Nassai.
2) A pillar of prayer
Whether supererogatory or obligatory, a prayer cannot be considered valid without Al Fatiha because it is also acknowledged as:
Among other names, the Prophet ﷺ referred to this surah as Salat or the prayer. He declared:
“Allah says: “I have divided the prayer into two parts, one for Me, the other for My Servant, and to My Servant what he asks. If My Servant says: “Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds. “, I say: My Servant has praised Me. If he says: “The Clement, the Merciful.” “, I say: My Servant has returned Me the praises. If he says: “The Master of the Day of Retribution.” » I say: My Servant has glorified Me. If he says: “It is You we worship and it is You we implore.” » I said: It concerns Me and My Servant, and to My Servant what he asks. If he says: “Guide us to the right path. The path of those whom You have blessed with Your blessings, not the path of those who have incurred Your wrath nor of those who have gone astray. » I said: This is for My Servant, and of My Servant what he asks. » (Hadith reported by Muslim)
Our Lord (glory and purity be to Him) has commanded us to recite it aloud at the beginning of each prayer unit, which is a testament to its tremendous value. Therefore, all Muslims must understand Al Fatiha.
Stated differently, we perform at least seventeen daily recitations of this surah. “Whoever prays without reciting the Mother of the Quran (Al Fatiha), his prayer is incomplete and invalid,” said the Prophet Muhammad. (The report by Al Bukhari and Mouslim).
3) Protection against all harm
Knowing Al Fatiha empowers Muslims to defend themselves against danger in addition to being necessary. Another name for Surah Al Fatiha is indeed Ach-Chafiya, which means “the healer.”
The Prophet ﷺ said: “The Opening of the Book is a cure for all illness. » (Reported by Ad-Dârimi)
Thus, it can be recited as an invocation or ruqya in case of bodily illness or against an occult evil due to witchcraft, the evil eye, or jealousy.
This is evidenced by the story of a companion of the Prophet ﷺ who treated a person suffering from a scorpion sting by simply reciting Surah Al Fatiha. The Prophet ﷺ subsequently asked her: “How did you know that she was a Ruqya? » (Reported by Al Bukhari and Muslim).
But then, how can you benefit from the merits of Surah Al Fatiha if you don’t know how to recite it?
To benefit from all these merits, the Muslim must recite Al Fatiha carefully, giving each letter its exact measure in terms of diction following the words of the Most High: “وَرَتِّلِ ٱلْقُرْءَانَ تَرْتِيلًا” – “And recite the Quran, slowly and clearly” [Surah 73 verse 4].
Thus, we must do our best to learn Al Fatiha and recite it while respecting the rules of Quranic reading (the Tajwid).
Understanding its reading requirements and the typical errors that influence how we pronounce Surah Fatiha correctly is essential for achieving this. Positive news! We have a present for you!
