Al-Fatiha English Translation

It is the only Chapter of the Holy Quran that has got the reputation of being an indispensable part of Namaz, which is to be recited regularly in every Rakah of Salah.

Ubadah bin As-Samit reported Allah’s Messenger ﷺ saying as:

“Whoever does not recite Surat Al-Fatihah in his prayer, his prayer is invalid. (Bukhari)

It means that without reading these seven verses of the Sacred Scripture, one`s prayer is considered void, and it does not count.
