This is the first Surah of the Quran. This was revealed at Makka. It is called ” The Opening “. In laymen terms it can be called a preface. This Surah is called the first complete Surah of the Quran. A short Surah of just 7 verses, it is a prayer that Allah has taught his believers who want to start their journey of studying the Quran. This prayer is basically the seeker of knowledge (as claimed by Muslims) telling Allah he is the most gracious, merciful etc. He is the be all and end all of everything and he should show his children the right path. Interestingly the last verse says Allah would support and show his grace only to the ones who follow his path and not the ones who have gone astray (FYI the ones who have gone astray are the Jews, Christians | De Opening,Fâtiha,Kitabı açan,La Apertura,Öppningen,Pembukaan,Pristup,The Opener,Открывающая Коран,کھولنے والی,সূচনা,അല്ഫാതിഹ,开端章 | Abdul Basit Murattal | عبد الباسط مراتال
