Overview

1 Sūrah is the name of a unit of the Qur’ān. The nearest English word is ‘chapter’, but since sūrah’ is used in Arabic to denote only units of the Qur’ān, it has been retained in English. The Qur’ān has 114 sūrahs of varying length.
Kowane Musulmi yana karanta wannan sūratu ta gajeruwa mai ayoyi bakwai aƙalla sau goma sha bakwai a kowace rana. Wani ḥadīthi ingantacce na Annabi Muhammadu ﷺ yana cewa: "Sallar wanda bai karanta Fātiḥah ba ba ta inganta ba." Wannan sūrah gajera tana ƙunshe da yawa daga cikin manyan ginshiƙan Musulunci, akidunsa da ra'ayoyinsa. Tana bayyana yawancin muhimman fahimta da halayen Musulunci. Duk wannan yana nuna a sarari dalilin da ya sa aka zaɓe ta don karantawa akai-akai, da kuma dalilin da ya sa ba makawa ce ga ingancin sallah ba.
Every Muslim recites this short sūrah of seven verses at least seventeen times a day. An authentic ĥadīth of the Prophet Muĥammad (peace be upon him), says: “A prayer by one who does not read the Fātiĥah is invalid.” This short sūrah contains a great deal of the central basic ideas of Islam, its beliefs and concepts. It outlines many of its essential perceptions and attitudes. All this makes it clear why it is chosen for frequent recitation and why it is essential for the validity of prayer.
Surah ta buɗe da kalmar:
The sūrah opens with the phrase:
Da sunan Allah, Mai rahama, Mai jin kai. (Ayah 1) Note: The rules require "God" to be rendered as the Hausa word for God, not "Allah", so the translation should read: Da sunan Ubangiji, Mai rahama, Mai jin kai. (Ayah 1)
In the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful. (Verse 1)
Mafi yawan malamai sun amince cewa wannan aya ce ta cikin surar, a matsayinta na aya ta kanta, wadda ke cika ayoyinta zuwa bakwai. Sai dai, an sami sabani a tsakanin malamai game da ko haka lamarin yake dangane da duk sauran surori na Alkur'ani waɗanda kalmomi iri ɗaya ke bayyana a farkonsu. Wasu malamai sun tabbatar da cewa, ayar nan ta Alkur'ani tana nufin Suratul Fatiha: "Mun ba ka ayoyi bakwai waɗanda ake maimaitawa, da kuma wannan Alkur'ani mai girma." (15: 87)
This is recognized by the majority of scholars as a verse of the sūrah, in its own right, completing its verses into seven. There is, however, a difference of opinion over whether this is so with respect to all other sūrahs of the Qur’ān in which the same words appear as the opening phrase. Some scholars maintain that it is to the Fātiĥah that the following Qur’ānic statement refers: “We have given you seven oft- repeated verses and this sublime Qur’ān.” (15: 87)
Ayoyin farko na Alƙur'ani da aka saukar wa Annabi Muhammadu ﷺ, waɗanda suka fara da cewa: "Karanta da sunan Ubangijinka..."
