1] Hadis ini menunjukkan bahwa al-Fatihah adalah rukun Shalat, karena Allah menyebut al-Fatihah dengan kata shalat. [2] Al-Fatihah disebut shalat, karena surat ini dibaca saat shalat. Dan seorang hamba yang membaca surat ini ketika shalat, dia hakekatnya sedang melakukan dialog dengan Rabnya. [3] Allah membagi bacaan al-Fatihah dalam shalat menjadi 2, setengah untuk Allah dan setengah untuk hamba.

In a Hadith Qudsi, the Prophet has narrated what God says when a person recites the surat al-Fatiha. The person says, "In the Name of God, the All-Merciful, the Compassionate", and God says, "My servant mentions Me". The servant then says, "Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds," and God says in his turn, "My servant lends Me grace." The servant then says "The All-Merciful, The Compassionate, " and God replies "My servant praises Me." The servant says, "Master of the Day of Judgement," and God says, "My servant glorifies Me and submits himself to Me." This first half of this surah relates exclusively to God and the servant's invocation of Allah's attributes. In the next half of the surah, the servant prays with a complete sense of humility. The servant says, "You alone do we worship and unto You alone do we turn for help," and God says, "This is shared between Me and My servant, and My servant will receive that which he asks." When the servant says, "Guide us to the Straight Path, The path of those whom You have favoured, Not those who have incurred Your wrath, nor those who are astray," God says, "All that comes back to My servant, and My servant will receive that for which he asks." Thus, the second half of this surah is related exclusively to the believer. It is because of this mutual participation between the Divine and the human in this surah, which is considered to be the heart of the Holy Qur'an, that the canonical prayer is regarded as not having been performed if this Surah is not recited.

Sūra al-Fātiḥa Arabic سورة الفاتحه or Sūra al-Ḥamd سورة الحمد is the first sura of the Qur'an, which is known as Umm al-Kitāb the Mother of the Book. It is a Makki Sura in the first juz' of the Qur'an. It counts as one of the Qisar Suras. According to hadiths, in spite of its shortness, "Sura al-Hamd" contains great meanings and counts as the base of the Qur'an. The Sura must be recited in obligatory and recommended prayers, and its main themes are monotheism and the praise of God. It is said that one of the virtues of the Sura is that its revelation has prevented the descent of divine punishment on the Islamic nation. It is recommended to recite Sura al-Hamd after obligatory prayers, for a patient, and when laying a corpse in the grave. Introduction Appellations and their Occasions The main appellation of the Sura is "Fātihat al-Kitāb" فاتحة الکتاب, Opening of the Book, because it is the first sura of the Qur'an with which it opens. It is the first complete sura revealed to the Prophet s.[1] Because of its significance, the Sura has been known with over twenty appellations, the best-known of which are "Hamd", "Umm al-Qur'an" Mother of the Qur'an, "Sab' al-Mathani", "Kanz" treasure, "Asas" base, "Shifa'" healing, "Du'a'" supplication, "Kafiya" sufficient, "Wafiya" adequate, "Raqiya" protector or refuge.[2] Place and Order of Revelation Sura al-Hamd was revealed twice once early after Bi'that in Mecca, and once more after the redirection of the Qibla in Medina. This is why it is known as "Mathani" two-timer. However, it counts as a Makki Sura because it was first revealed in Mecca. It is the first Quranic sura in the current order of compilation, and according to some hadiths, it was the fifth sura in the order of revelation. It was the first complete sura revealed to the Prophet s.[3] Number of Verses and Words Sura al-Fatiha has seven verses, twenty nine words, and 143 letters. With regard to its length, it counts as one of the small or Mufassilat Suras, and among the Mufassilat, it counts as one of the Qisar short suras. According to hadiths, despite its shortness, the Sura has great meanings and is "Umm al-Kitab" Mother of the Book and the base of the Qur'an.[4] Significance Sura al-Hamd plays a crucial role in the religious and cultural life of Muslims. According to the Imami jurisprudence, the Sura must be recited ten times in daily prayers, and according to the Sunni jurisprudence, it must be recited seventeen times in these prayers.[5] According to a hadith from Imam al-Rida a, Sura al-Hamd is recited at the start of prayers, because it encompasses all good and wisdom of this world and the afterlife such that there is no word more comprehensive than this Sura.[6] Content The main themes of Sura al-Fatiha are monotheism, the praise of God, worship, asking for God's help, and asking God for guidance.[7] The Sura talks about Divine attributes, the indications of righteous servants of God, the issue of guidance, and the "Right Path" in terms of supplications and expressions of aversion to misguidance and astray.[8] The Sura can be divided into two sections the praise of God and the needs of His servants. According to a Qudsi Hadith, God says that He has divided Sura al-Hamd between Him and His servant; half of it is His, and the other half is theirs.[9] Content of Sura al-Fatiha[10] Manners of God's praise and servitude Introduction Verse 1In the name of God the possessor of all perfectionsFirst discourse Verses 2-4Reasons why God deserves to be worshipedSecond discourse Verses 5-7people's obligations with respect to God First reason Verse 2God's inclusive LordshipFirst duty Verse 5Worship and servitude of God Second reason Verse 3God’s infinite mercySecond duty 5Asking for God's help Third reason Verse 3God's sovereignty of the Day of RecompenseThird duty Verses 6-7Asking God for guidance Rulings It is obligatory for mukallaf accountable people to learn[11] and correctly recite[12] Sura al-Hamd in the first and the second rak'as of obligatory and recommended prayers.[13] In the third and fourth rak'as of prayers, the worshiper has an option to either recite Sura al-Hamd or recite al-Tasbihat al-Arba'a. There is a disagreement as to which one is better.[14] It is recommended to recite "A'udh bi-llah min al-shaytan al-rajim" I refuge to Allah from the Outcast Satan before the recitation of Sura al-Hamd in the first rak'a,[15] and it is forbidden to recite "Amen" after the recitation of Sura al-Hamd in the prayer, and indeed, it will invalidate the prayer.[16] It is permissible to merely recite Sura al-Hamd in a Nafila in which the recitation of no other sura besides al-Hamd is commanded.[17] There are many cases in which it is recommended to recite Sura al-Hamd, including when visiting a patient,[18] when laying a corpse inside the grave,[19] and when taking a piece of earth from al-Ha'ir al-Husayni.[20] Exegeses Sura al-Hamd has been interpreted in exegeses of the whole Qur'an. However, in addition to that, there are independent exegeses of the Sura as well, including Al-Urwa al-wuthqa, an exegesis of Sura al-Hamd [lithographical print], by al-Shaykh al-Baha'i[21] I'jaz al-bayan fi tafsir umm al-Qur'an]], by Sadr al-Din al-Qunawi edited by Jalal al-Din Ashtiyani[22] Lum'a fi tafsir al-hamd a ray from the exegesis of Sura al-Hamd by Muhammad Kazim 'Imad al-Din Jaza'iri[23] An exegesis of Sura al-Hamd by Sayyid Izz al-Din Husayni Zanjani[24] Fatihat al-kitab tafsir-i sura-yi sharifa-yi hamd by Sayyid Abd al-Husayn Dastghayb[25] An exegesis of Sura al-Hamd by Imam Khomeini.[26] The Verse, "It is You we worship and You we ask for help," in Imam al-Mahdi Prayer In some sources of hadiths, a prayer is recommended in which the verse, "It is You we worship and You we ask for help," is recited one hundred times.[27] In this prayer, which is known as Imam al-Mahdi's Prayer, the verse is recited one hundred times in each rak'a when reciting Sura al-Hamd. The hadith of Imam al-Mahdi's Prayer was cited by Qutb al-Din al-Rawandi and Sayyid b. Tawus.[28] Virtues and Effects There are many hadiths concerning the virtues and significance of Sura al-Hamd. According to a hadith, Gabriel told the Prophet s that the revelation of this Sura has prevented the descent of divine punishment on the Islamic nation.[29] And according to another hadith, the sura heals every illness.[30] Imam Ali a has quoted the Prophet s as saying that Sura al-Hamd is a treasure in the Divine Throne Arsh, which has exclusively been given to the Prophet Muhammad s and was never shared by any other prophets, except its "bism Allah" in the name of Allah, which was given to Solomon a the prophet as well … if the Sura is recited by someone who believes in, loves, and follows Muhammad and his household, the reward he will receive in exchange for each letter of the sura will be greater than this world and what it contains.[31] The Prophet s has said that Sura al-Fatiha is the best Quranic sura and that no sura like this can be found in the Torah, the Gospel, Zabur, and the Qur'an. According to another hadith from the Prophet s, the reward for the recitation of Sura al-Fatiha equals that of reciting two-thirds of the Qur'an or that of giving charity to all believers.[32] Imam Ja'far al-Sadiq a said about the sura "if one recites it, then God will open to him the way to the good in this world and the afterlife." He also said that God's Greatest Name is scattered in this sura.[33] In his al-Ikhtisas, al-Shaykh al-Mufid cites a hadith according to which the Prophet s said that the reward for the recitation of Sura al-Fatiha equals that of the recitation of all Holy Scriptures.[34] Notes External Links Audio playback of the Sura References
