Dear Islamic brothers, not only does Sūrah al-Fātiḥah contain a cure for illnesses, but it also contains a solution for every problem. Sayyidunā ‘Aṭā` رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه states, “If someone has a need, he should recite Sūrah al-Fātiḥah. By virtue of this, his need will be fulfilled.”^{^[1]}

The scholars state that whoever recites Sūrah al-Fātiḥah 100 times and then supplicates, his supplication will be accepted.

Litany for the acceptance of du’ā`

سُـبْحٰـنَ الـلّٰــه This is a simple solution to problems. If you are facing troubles or experiencing financial difficulties, or if you have any need, recite Sūrah al-Fātiḥah and supplicate. اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه All your difficulties will be removed by virtue of Allah’s mercy.

Protection from the evil eye

The Companion Sayyidunā ‘Imrān bin Huṣayn رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ reports that the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, “The house in which Sūrah al-Fātiḥah and Āyat al-Kursī are recited will remain protected that day from the evil eye of jinn and man.”^{^[2]}

Equivalent to a third of the Quran

Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah bin ‘Abbās رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ عَنْهُمَا reports that the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, “Whoever recited Sūrah al-Fātiḥah and Sūrah al-Ikhlāṣ, it is as if he has recited a third of the Quran.”^{^[3]} Another hadith states that Sūrah al-Fātiḥah is equivalent to two thirds of the Quran.^{^[4]}
