1 - Al Quran

The Prophet wept with gratitude. He knew that Al-Fatihah was a direct gift from Allah's treasure, one that summarized the entire message of all scriptures. In it, there is no mention of punishment, no detailed laws, no historical tales—only pure relationship: recognition of the Creator, praise, submission, and a desperate cry for guidance. There is a final story from the streets of Medina. An old, blind woman used to sit by the Prophet's mosque, begging. One day, a companion saw her weeping. He asked, "Why do you cry?"

The companion went to the chieftain, placed his hand on the man's chest, and recited Surah Al-Fatihah seven times, blowing gently after each recitation. Within moments, the chief coughed, sat up, and was completely healed—as if released from chains. The swelling and pain vanished.

Thus, the long story of Al-Fatihah is the story of humanity itself: from the fall from Paradise to the hope of return, guided by seven verses that hold the key to the eternal door. End of the long story of Surah Al-Fatihah, the first chapter of the Holy Qur'an. al quran 1

One night, the angel Jibreel appeared to the Prophet in a dream and said: "Do you want glad tidings of a light given to you and your nation? That light is Al-Fatihah. No prophet before you received it, except that Solomon was given something similar—'In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful'—but not the whole surah."

This story spread across the Arabian Peninsula. People began to understand that Al-Fatihah was not just a prayer but a divine healing. It contains the names of Allah—Ar-Rahman (The Most Gracious) and Ar-Rahim (The Most Merciful)—which bring mercy, and the plea "Ihdina as-sirat al-mustaqim" (Guide us to the straight path) which aligns the heart with truth. Another tradition, though not from the Qur'an but from the vast ocean of prophetic sayings, tells of a conversation between Allah and the Prophet Moses (Musa). In a hadith qudsi (sacred hadith), Allah says: The Prophet wept with gratitude

When he says, "Master of the Day of Judgment," Allah says: "My servant has honored Me."

Again, the Prophet answered, "I am not a reader." There is a final story from the streets of Medina

One night, during the month of Ramadan, as he sat wrapped in his cloak, the angel Jibreel (Gabriel) appeared in the narrow cave. The angel's presence filled the space with a light that was not of this world. Jibreel squeezed the Prophet tightly and commanded:

Muhammad, trembling, replied, "I am not a reader." He had never formally studied any scripture.
