Al-Fatiha is the first surah (chapter) of the Quran123. It consists of 7 ayah (verses) which are a prayer for guidance and mercy1. Al-Fatiha is recited in Muslim obligatory and voluntary prayers, known as salah1. It was revealed in Makkah and is said to be the first complete Surah to be revealed at once and also one of the earliest revelations2.
