Surah Fatiha consists of seven verses, beginning with a glorification of God and a request for His mercy and guidance. The surah includes a confession of the worship of God alone and a request for His help. It also calls upon God to guide the believers to the straight path, the path of those who have received His grace, not the path of those with whom He has become angry or who have gone astray. This Surah Fatiha is fundamental to Islamic worship, recited at every prayer, and is considered a source of spiritual and physical healing in the Islamic tradition.
