Surah Al Fatihah (Virtues and Themes)

Allah Almighty revealed 104 scriptures. The themes of these scriptures are explained in the Tawrah, Injīl, Zabūr and the Quran. The sciences of the Tawrah, Zabūr and Injīl are all mentioned in the Quran, and all the teachings of the Quran are found in Sūrah al-Fātiḥah. So, whoever understands the commentary of Sūrah al-Fātiḥah, it is as though he has read the commentary of all divinely revealed books.^{^[1]}

Dear Islamic brothers! Sūrah al-Fātiḥah is a concise Sūrah which contains an endless amount of knowledge. The fourth Caliph of Islam, Sayyidunā ꜤAlī b. Abī Ṭālib رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ said, “If I wished, I could load 70 camels with the explanation of Sūrah al-Fātiḥah.”^{^[2]}

Imam Ahmad Razā Khan رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه states:

A camel can carry extremely large loads, and each load contains thousands of items. Therefore, we can estimate that this amounts to around 2,500,000 volumes. This is only for Sūrah al-Fātiḥah, so what can be said about the rest of the Quran!^{^[3]}
