A few Virtues of
Surat Al –Fatiha…
Narrated Abu Hurairat: Allah’s Apostle said, “The Um (substance) of the Quran is the seven oft-repeated verses (Al-Mathaini) and is the Great Quran (i.e. Surat-al-Fatiha).” (Sahih Bukhari,)
Narrated Abu Said Al-Muallat:
While I was praying, the Prophet passed by and called me, but I did not go to him till I had finished my prayer. When I went to him, he said, “What prevented you from coming?” I said, “I was praying.” He said, “Didn’t Allah say” “O you who believes Give your response to Allah (by obeying Him) and to His Apostle.” (8.24) Then he added, “Shall I tell you the most superior Sura in the Qur’an before I go out of the mosque?” When the Prophet intended to go out (of the Mosque), I reminded him and he said, “That is: “Alhamdu-lillahi Rabbil-’Alamin (Surat-al-fatiha)’ which is the seven oft repeated verses (Al-Mathani) and the Grand Quran which has been given to me (Sahih Bukhari,)
‘’Muslim records from Abu Hurairaht that the Messenger of Allahr said:
“Allah, the Glorious, said: ‘I have divided the salah [i.e., al-Fatihah] into two halves, between Me and My slave, and my slave shall receive what he asks for.’ When the slave says ‘All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds,’ Allah, the Exalted, says ‘My slave has praised Me.’ When he says ‘The Compassionate, the Merciful,’ Allah, the Exalted, says ‘My slave has lauded
Me.‘ When he says ‘Master of the Day of Judgment.’ Allah, the Exalted says ‘My servant has glorified Me and entrusted his affairs toMe.‘ And when he says ‘It is Thee we worship and from Thee that we seek aid,’ Allah, the Exalted, says ‘This is between Me and My slave. And for My slave is what he asks.’ And when he says ‘Guide us to the straight path, the path of those whom you have blessed and not of those with whom you are angry nor of those who have gone astray.’ Allah says ‘That is for My slave and My slave shall get what he asks for.’” (Fiqh-us-Sunnah, Volume 2: What is allowed during the prayer Volume 2, Page 89: Occupying the heart with something other than the affairs of the prayer.)
