Quran - Surahs

Chapter 1 Al Fatiha

This Surah was one the earliest Surah's reveled to the Prophet of Islam Muhammad (peace be upon him). Various traditions claim it to be the first complete Surah that was revealed.

It is called Mother of the Book as it contains the meaning of entire Quran. It starts with praise for Allah (Almighty God) to who is Sovereign over the entire universe.
