Religion Of The Month Club: Sura Al-Fatiha

In this episode, we discuss the opening of the Qur'an, Sura Al-Fatiha. This first chapter is also a prayer which may be recited more than 17 times a day by devout Muslims. We also discuss the Qur'an generally, and how to approach reading it. "Its seven verses are a prayer for God’s guidance, and stress Its lordship and mercy of God. This chapter has an essential role in daily prayers; being recited at least seventeen times a day, at the start of each unit of prayer (rakah)."
