Surah 1 - The Opening - Al Fatihah (This surah has been called the very essence of the Qur’an; its seven ayah or verses have a special role in daily prayer, being recited at the start of each unit of prayer; when recited, the Surah Al-Fatiha is usually followed by the word Amin, i.e., Amen; a calligraphic style presentation of the Arabic phrase, “In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful” precedes each surah in the Qur’an; English translation with a transliteration of the original Arabic. The Qur’an verses based on translation by Abdullah Yusuf Ali.)
