'We have given you the seven oft-recited verses and the whole glorious Qur'an'
(Surah Al Hijr: 87)

This opening chapter of the Qur'an is described as the 'seven oft-repeated' verses and known as the Essence of the Qur'an. Its special status is demonstrated through its recitation in our daily prayers, and it is one of the very first Surah’s we learn to recite as a Muslim. We may know its translation, but to study its explanation will take us into the realm of deep knowledge, understanding, and reflection, enabling us to unlock the wisdoms in the Surah and nourish the soul with what it seeks.

In these seven verses, the Surah covers essential aspects of faith, such as knowing Allah through His Attributes, Tawheed, Gratitude, Guidance, and Judgement. This one-day course will provide an in-depth analysis of each verse, providing you with a deeper understanding of this short, but concise Surah, enabling you to develop and strengthen your connection with Allah as you comprehend, beyond words and beyond translation, exactly what you are saying as you converse with Allah in prayer. Surah Al Fatihah is a gift from Allah to us and this course will enable us to take steps towards understanding its importance and reaping its fruits in this life and the Hereafter.
