Al-Fatihah
The Opening
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
Bismillaahir Rahmaanir Raheem
शुरू करता हूँ अल्लाह के नाम से जो बड़ा मेहरबान निहायत रहम वाला है
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
Alhamdu lillaahi Rabbil 'aalameen
सब तारीफ़ अल्लाह के लिए है जो तमाम जहान का पालने वाला है
الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
Ar-Rahmaanir-Raheem
बड़ा मेहरबान निहायत रहम वाला
مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ
Maaliki Yawmid-Deen
रोज़े जज़ा का मालिक है
إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ
Iyyaaka na'budu wa lyyaaka nasta'een
हम तेरी ही इबादत करते हैं और तुझ ही से मदद माँगते हैं
اهْدِنَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ
Ihdinas-Siraatal-Mustaqeem
हमें सीधे रास्ते की हिदायत दे
صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا الضَّالِّينَ
Siraatal-lazeena an'amta 'alaihim ghayril-maghdoobi 'alaihim wa lad-daaalleen
उन लोगों का रास्ता जिन पर तूने इनाम किया, न कि उनका जिन पर तेरा ग़ज़ब हुआ और न गुमराहों का
इस सूरत के बारे में
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
