Siraatal-lazeena an'amta 'alaihim ghayril-maghdoobi 'alaihim wa lad-daaalleen
Le chemin de ceux que Tu as comblés de faveurs, non pas de ceux qui ont encouru Ta colère, ni des égarés.
À Propos de Cette Sourate
Al-Fatiha establishes the relationship between the servant and Allah. It teaches us how to praise Allah, seek His help, and ask for guidance to the straight path.
Al-Fatiha was revealed in Makkah and is one of the earliest surahs. It is called 'The Opening' because it opens the Quran. It is also known as 'Umm al-Quran' (Mother of the Quran), 'Al-Hamd' (The Praise), 'As-Salah' (The Prayer), and 'Ash-Shifa' (The Cure).
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: 'By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, Allah has not revealed in the Torah, the Gospel, the Psalms, or the Quran a Surah like Al-Fatiha. It is the Seven Oft-Repeated Verses and the Grand Quran which has been given to me.' (Tirmidhi). No prayer is valid without reciting it.
- Praise and glorification of Allah
- Allah's attributes of mercy
- Seeking guidance to the straight path
- Distinguishing between those who earn Allah's favor and those who earn His wrath
