Hazrat Abu Hurairah (Radiyallahu Anhu) reports that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said: "I swear by Allah who is the master of my life that neither the Towrah, nor the Injeel nor the Zaboor nor any other portion of the Quraan can be compared with Surah Faatiha.”

Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) has said that this Surah is a cure for all kinds of illnesses. According to another Hadith, this Surah is also named As-shifa (The cure). It is reported from Hazrat Anas (Radiyallahu Anhu) that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) has called this Surah the greatest among all the Surahs of the Holy Quraan.

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّ‌حْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّ‌حِيمِ  

ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَ‌بِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ﴿٢﴾ ٱلرَّ‌حْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّ‌حِيمِ ﴿٣﴾ مَـٰلِكِ يَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ ﴿٤﴾ إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ ﴿٥﴾ ٱهْدِنَا ٱلصِّرَ‌ٰ‌طَ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمَ ﴿٦﴾ صِرَ‌ٰ‌طَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ غَيْرِ‌ ٱلْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا ٱلضَّآلِّينَ ﴿٧﴾

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

All praise be to Allah, the Rabb of the worlds; The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful; Master of the Day of reward. You alone do we worship, and from You alone do we seek help.  Show us the straight path, the path of those upon whom You have favoured, not of those who have earned Your wrath, nor those who have gone astray.
