Surah Al-Fatihah (The Opening) — Chapter 1 of the Holy Quran, a Meccan surah with 7 verses.
I begin by calling on Allah, Who is Ar-Raḥmān, the Merciful, and Ar-Raḥīm, the Compassionate. These last two names of Allah are derived from the Arabic word raḥmah, which means mercy: proving the greatness and vastness of His Mercy and that His Mercy surrounds everything, and embraces all living beings.
