My Dear Quran Lovers,
 Let us continue to look into the brief B.O. the Prophet s.a.w. :
   In one report, before  Allah revealed surah 93, Adh-Dhuha~, Allah s.w.t. had first revealed surah No.1, Al-Fatihah, as reported by Ibnu 'Abbas, Qotadah. And it is reported that this surah Al-Fatihah was revealed Twice, once in Mecca and once again in Medina as reported by Abu Huroiroh, Mujahid. This surah No 1, is called "Al-Fatihah = The Openning". It is also called "Fa~tihatul-Kita~b = The Openning of the Scripture", and is also called "Ummul-Quran = The Essence of the Quran", and is also called "Sab'an Minal-Matha~ni = Seven Oft-Repeated Verses", and "Al-Quranal-'Azhi~m = The Great Quran".  It is called Al-Fatihah = The Openning because It is the Openning of the Quran in written form, and It is recited at the openning of recitation in every sholah and in every ceremony and/or rite.:
 Al-Fatihah : (meaning) : "In the name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful" = (Allah is Compassinate to all His Creation, the Mankind whether Believers or unbelievers, the animals, the vegetation and others by providing all with air, water and vegetation for food. In this modern time air is still provided by Allah free. But Allah is Merciful to the Believers only).  Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Creations.  The Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful. (Should we not ponder why these Two of Allah's Attributes/Names are repeated Twice).  Owner of the Judgement Day.  You alone we worship, and to You alone we ask for help. (If we have any wish or appeal, recite this surah in Arabic. Repeat this verse Three times, then Doa/appeal our wish to Allah in our own language if we were not an Arab. It is better to repeat our request 3 times. But one request is made at one recitaion only).  Guide us to the straight path.  The path of those whom You have favoured.  Not (the path) of those who have incurred You wrath, nor of those who have gone astray.".
  After the Prophet s.a.w. was revealed the surah "Adh-Dhuha~" Allah taught the Prophet s.a.w. how to sholah like the ways of the Prophets a.s. before him s.a.w.
 Until we meet again in next session, Insya Allah. See all of You Quran Lovers soon.
 Wassalamu alaikum w. w.
