Al-Fatihah is the most often recited surah of the Qur'an. During our daily prayers, it is recited at least 17 times. In seven short verses, this book touches on seven major themes of the Qur'an. This short thematic study of al-Fatihah captures the message and essence of this wonderful surah (chapter) and why we recite it so often. In a simple and non-theological way the reflections in this book help in understanding the ethical, social and spiritual dimensions of the core Qur'anic themes.
