SORAT-UL-FATIHA

Importance

The Surat-ul-Fatiha is the first chapter of the Qur’ani and is for that reason styled Fatihatul-Kitab or the opening of the book. Because of its intrinsic value, it has been assigned a. place of honour in the Qur’iin and allowed to appear on tl1e very first page of it. Indeed, the Qur’an endorses its importance in the following terms:

“0 Prophet l It is a fact that We have given thee seven oft-repeated verses and the great Qur’ an.” (Q: 15: 87) 9

It has been established by Hadith and Athar that the reference here is to this chapter; for, it not only consists of seven vers68, but is repeatedly recited in daily worship.

Mecca was known as ‘Umm-ul-Qura, for, consequent upon the location of the Ifo’aba therein and the associa­tion therewith of the institution of Hajj, it had grown into a place of assemblage for the people of Arabia. So, to style this chapter as ‘Umm-1tl-Qur’iin is to acknowledge that in its tense comprehensiveness, it concentrates within its ambit, the thought­

content of the entire Qur’an, and that, on that account, it rightly deserves the place of honour among its cl1apters.

Further, it is clear from some of the traditions of tl1c Prophet that, even in his own lifetime, this unique role of the chapter had
