The name al-Fatihah (“the Opener or the opening”) is due to the subject-matter of the Surah Fatihah is that which opens a subject or a book or any other thing. Some Muslims Explain it as a reference to an implied ability of the Al Fatihah to open a person to faith in Allah Almighty. The primary literal meaning of the expression “al-Fatihah” is “The Opener,” which could refer to this Surah Al Fatihah being “the opener of the Book (Holt Book)” (Fatihat al-kitab), to its being the first Surah Al Fatihah recited full in every prayer (Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, Isha) cycle (rakʿah), or to the manner in which it serves as an opening for many functions in everyday Islamic life. Surah Fatihah has an essential role in Islamic prayer (salat). Its seven verses (ayat) are a prayer for the guidance, lordship and mercy of God (Allah Almighty).
