al-Fatihah - An In-Depth Study
Shaykh Jamaaluddin Zarabozo
Muslims have been commanded by Allah to recite Soorah Al-Fatihah a
minimum of seventeen times a day. This fact, in itself, should alert the
Muslim to the extreme importance of this concise but deep soorah.
Indeed, the Prophet (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) referred
to it as Umm al-Qur’an or “the foundation of the Quran itself.” Its
teachings aptly touch upon and summarize the entire spectrum of Islamic
teachings. As a Muslim grows in his understanding of Soorah al-fatihah,
the quality of his daily prayers can be greatly affected and improved.
When the quality of his daily prayers are improved, in reality, his
entire being can be transformed into a true and blessed servant of
Allah, one who fulfills the pact he is making with Allah when he says,
“You alone do we worship.”
In preparing this series of lectures, Br. Jamaal Zarabozo has benefited
from the vast resources detailing the implications of this beautiful
soorah. What the scholars have said about this soorah and what this
speaker has captured is not only uplifting but it is a guide for the
Muslim’s life. There is no prayer without Soorah al-Fatihah and, thus,
there should be no Muslim living without the guidance and teachings of
this soorah. With this introduction, you are invited to listen and
encounter the in-depth meaning of Soorah al-Fatihah.
