What is the opening verse of the Qur'an?
The opening verse of the Qur'an is known as Al-Fatiha or "The Opening." It is the first chapter of the Qur'an and goes as follows:
"In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Praise be to Allah, the Lord of all the worlds.
The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Master of the Day of Judgment.
You alone we worship, and You alone we ask for help.
Guide us on the Straight Path,
the path of those who have received Your grace;
not the path of those who have brought down wrath upon themselves,
nor of those who have gone astray."
Al-Fatiha is recited during each unit (Rak'ah) of the Muslim prayer (Salah) and is considered as the opening prayer of the Qur'an, encompassing several essential concepts of Islamic belief and worship.
