The Greatest Surah in the Qur’an The Prophet (sallAllahu alayhi wasallam) said, “I will teach you a Surah which is the greatest Surah in the Qur'an…” He said, “Al-Hamdu-Lillah Rabbi-l-Alamin which is Al-Sab'a Al-Mathani (seven repeatedly recited Verses) and the Grand Qur'an which has been given to me.” [Sahih Bukhari, Book #60, Hadith #1] www.dremali.com
Revealed by a Special Angel Narrated IbnAbbaas (radiyAllahu anhu): “While the Messenger of Allah (sallAllahu alayhiwasallam) was sitting with Jibreel(alayhi assalam), he heard a creaking sound above him. Jibreellooked up and said, “This is the sound of a gate that has been opened in heaven today and has never been previously opened.” Then an Angel descended through it and came to the Prophet (sallAllahu alayhiwasallam) and said, • “Rejoice in the good news of two lights that have been given to you such as no prophet before you has been given. • [They are] Surah al-Fatihahand the concluding [two] Ayat of Surah al-Baqarah. You will never recite a word from them without being given the blessings they contain." [An-Nisaee and al-Haakim] www.dremali.com

Hadith Qudsi Allah SWT says, “I have divided the prayer (Al-Fatihah) between Myself and my slave equally and My slave shall be granted what he asked for.” • [Sahih Muslim] www.dremali.com
Therefore when the slave says, ‘All praises and thanks are due to Allah, the Lord of the universe’, Allah says, ‘My slave has praised Me.’ When he says, ‘the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful,’ Allah says, ‘My slave has glorified Me.’ When he says, ‘Master of the Day of Judgment,’ Allah says, ‘My slave has related all matters to Me.’ When he says, ‘You alone we worship and You alone we seek for help,’ Allah says, ‘This is between Me and My slave and My slave shall have what he requested.’ When he says, ‘Guide us to the straight path, the path of those whom You have favored, not of those who earned Your anger, nor of those who have gone astray’ Allah says, ‘This is for My slave and My slave shall have what he asked for.’ www.dremali.com
