Re: Surah Fatihah - How do you view it?
Surah Al-Fatiha is Ummul-kitaab. As far as i remeber my lessons this surah contains words which comes more than 8000 times in Quraan. we recite this surah almost 40-45 times a day and it has got very very beautiful meaning . I very well remember my teacher saying that we should be very sincere when we say IHDINAS SIRAWTAL MUSTAKHEEM. He gave example of a student who cries five times a day in front of Allah(swt) to help him succeed in exams but never goes to school. Mashallah surah Al-Fatiha and Surah Al-Ikhlaas has got very beautiful meaning and frankly speaking reciting these surah's makes me cry. After learning each verse or Surah we can/should follow - ASK- EVALUATE- PLAN- PROPAGATE cycle, so that we can earn more reward inshallah.
