Surah Fatiha is a Medinan surah, revealed during Prophet Muhammad's (ﷺ) return from Hudaybiyyah, a place outside Mecca. This pivotal peace treaty agreement, known as the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah, marked a significant turning point in Islamic history.

The treaty allowed Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) to form partnerships or alliances with any other tribe, giving Muslims equal footing with the Quraysh and freedom from scrutiny or rising tensions. Although some companions considered accepting this treaty a defeat, the first verse of Surah Fatiha that was revealed shortly after states, 'Verily we have granted thee a manifest victory' (Quran 48:1). This affirmation of peace helped relieve tensions between Mecca and Medina for ten years.

Surah Fatiha is a beautiful expression of faith, guidance, and mercy. It begins with the iconic phrase, 'In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,' followed by the declaration that God is the Lord of the heavens and the earth, and that He forgives whom He wills and punishes whom He wills.

'1. In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

2. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds,

3. The Beneficent, the Merciful.

5. It is You we worship and You we ask for help.

6. Guide us to the straight path.
