surah al-Fateha is a cure for physical and also spiritual ailments. Without this surah, even the daily prayers are invalid. It is indeed a great treasure that has been given to us by Allah (s.w.t.) through the Holy Prophet (S) and no previous prophet has been given anything like it. This surah is also known as ‘Ummul Kitab’ and ‘Sab’a mathani’.
