Introduction to Qur'an and Explanation of Surah Al Fatihah (The first Surah / Chapter) of Qur'an

Qur'an is the last and final Divine Scripture revealed for the guidance of the entire mankind. It is thus incumbent upon every believers to understand it and live life according to the wisdom contained in the Qur'an which is based on the commandments of Allah.

While almost all believers recite the verses from Qur'an every day, we need o under the philosophy of the Qur'an and why acting upon it is essential for all believers. We have been sharing the exegesis / tafsir of the entire Qur'an, base on the explanation by a number of leading scholars of Islam. And we hope that our readers find our effort meaningful and beneficial. 

Today we share a very useful and informative video which is about an overview and introduction of the Qur'an, followed by explanation of Surah Al Fatihah the first Surah of the Qur'an. Muslims in genral and reverts in particular are most likely to be benefitted by the video.

The video is by none other than eminent Muslim scholar Dr Israr Ahmed (26 April 1932 - 14 April 2010), a Pakistani Islamic theologian, philosopher, and Islamic scholar who has been followed particularly in South Asia as well as by South Asian Muslims in the Middle East, Western Europe, and North America. 

You may now like to listen to Dr Israr Ahmed giving out an elaborate introduction to the Qur'an in almost an hour long video, which also includes explanation of Surah Al Fatihah:

Please refer to our Reference Page "114 Chapters (Sūrahs) of the Holy Qur'an" for translation, explanation and exegesis of all other chapters of the Qur'an. You may also refer to our Reference Pages for knowing more about Islam and Quran.

Reading the Holy Quran should be a daily obligation of a Muslim - Reading it with translation will make it meaningful. But reading its Exegesis / Tafsir will make you understand it fully. An effort has been made to gather explanation / exegesis of the surahs of the Holy Qur'an from authentic sources and then present a least possible condensed explanation of the surah.
