Virtues of Surah Al-Fatiha:
Some of the greatest qualities that this chapter of Furqan e Hameed contains are:

i) Being The Greatest Surah of The Holy Quran

Abu Sa’ad ibn Al-Mu’alla narrated the Apostle ﷺ of Allah saying as:

“…I will teach a Surah which is the greatest Surah in the Quran before you leave the Masjid.’ Then he took hold of my hand and when he intended to leave [the Masjid], I asked him, “Did you not say that you would teach me a Surah which is the greatest Surah in the Qur’an?” He replied, ‘Yes. It is [the Surah commencing with], “All praise and thanks are due to Allah.” It is the Seven Oft-Repeated verses and the Great Qur’an that has been given to me.’ “(Ahmad)

ii) Resulting in Answering Of One`s Prayer By Allah SWT: Surah Al-Fatiha is a very special kind of appeal to the Gracious God, which causes Him to answer His servant on every step of surah al fatihah recitation.

iii) Being Part Of Two Lights Given to the Holy Prophet ﷺ

Ibn Abbas (R.A) narrated the Messenger ﷺ of Allah saying as:

“While the Messenger ﷺ of Allah was sitting with Jibril he heard a creaking sound above him. Jibril looked up and said, “This is [the sound of] a gate that has been opened in heaven today and has never been previously opened.” Then an Angel descended through it and came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, ‘Rejoice in the good news of two lights that have been given to you such as no Prophet before you has been given. [They are] Surah Al-Fatihah and the concluding [two] verses of Surah Al-Baqarah. You will never recite a word from them without being given the blessings they contain.’ “

It shows that Surah Al-Fatiha, among the last two Ayats of Surah Baqarah is the great source of enlightenment that Allah SWT has only given to the Ummah (Followers) of Rasulullah ﷺ, which has the greatest effect in the attainment of Allah`s favors.

iv) Being the Most Noble Part of Quran

Anas (R.A) reported the Holy Prophet ﷺ saying as: “Should I not inform you of the most noble and excellent part of the Quran?” He then recited “All praise and thanks are due to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds” (An Nisai)
