'''Al Fatiha''', or "سورة الفاتحة ," is the [[sura]] that is traditionally placed first.  It invokes the name of [[Allah]] as the one true God, and praises him as being merciful and the true path to salvation.  It is considered the most important sura by many scholars of [[Islam]], and is said repeatedly throughout the day during traditional Muslim prayer (''[[salat]]'').
