When he says, ‘The All-Merciful, the Most Merciful, ‘ALLAH says, ‘My servant has extolled Me.

Saheeh Muslim

  1. Seven often repeated verses recited in every unit of prayer. It is also named so because Surah Al Fatihah’s seven verses are regularly recited at the start of each rakaah of prayer.

  2. A cure for the heart. Surah Al Fatihah contains a supplication for protection from misguidance and from the anger of ALLAH. This thus protects the heart from corrupt knowledge and evil intentions. The hidden cure to both these illnesses is also found in the verse “You (Oh ALLAH) we worship and from you do we seek help”
