Moral

Prayer is the cornerstone of faith and the direct connection to divine guidance

Al-Fatiha, the opening chapter of the Quran, holds a special place in Islamic prayer. It is recited in every prayer unit (rak'ah) and serves as both a supplication and a covenant between the worshipper and Allah. The chapter's revelation emphasized the importance of establishing a direct connection with the Creator through prayer and seeking guidance.
