ADIL - Unlocking Al-Fatihah

Course Overview

Discover the real meaning behind the surah you recite 17 times a day.

This 4-week tafsir masterclass offers a clear, accessible introduction to Surah Al-Fatihah — the opening surah recited in every unit of prayer. Participants will learn why Al-Fatihah is called Umm al-Kitab (the Mother of the Book), why it's described as "the heart's conversation with Allah," and how each verse carries meaning far beyond daily recitation.

Through structured explanations and relatable examples, participants will be guided verse by verse through Surah Al-Fatihah — from the Basmalah to the final plea for guidance on the Straight Path — and gain a deeper understanding of how this surah anchors both inner peace and a servant's connection with their Creator.

• Reflecting on Al-Fatihah within solat and common recitation mistakes
