Meaning of Surah 01 Al-Fatihah Opener (La Apertura) From Holy Quran Bilingual Edition English & Spanish 

Surah al-Fatihah (Arabic: U U U is the first chapter (surah) of the Quran. Its seven verses (ayat) are a prayer for the guidance, lordship and mercy of God. This chapter has an essential role in Islamic prayer (salat). The primary literal meaning of the expression "al-Fatihah" is "The Opener, " which could refer to this Surah being "the opener of the Book" (Fatihat al-kitab), to its being the first Surah recited in full in every prayer cycle (rak E ah), or to the manner in which it serves as an opening for many functions in everyday Islamic life. Some Muslims interpret it as a reference to an implied ability of the Surah to open a person to faith in God.The name al-Fatihah ("the Opener or the opening") is due to the subject-matter of the surah. Fatihah is that which opens a subject or a book or any other thing. In other words, a sort of preface. The word U U came from the root word U which means to open, explain, disclose, keys of treasure etc. That means sura Al-Fatiha is the summary of the whole Quran. That is why we recite another Ayat or sura along with Fatiha in our prayers. That is, sura Al-Fatiha is paired with rest of the whole Quran.It is also called Umm Al-Kitab ("the Mother of the Book") and Umm Al-Quran ("the Mother of the Quran"); Sab’a al Mathani ("Seven repeated [verses]", an appellation taken from verse 15:87 of the Quran); Al-Hamd ("praise"), because a hadith narrates Muhammad as having said that GOD says: "The prayer [al-Fatihah] is divided into two halves between Me and My servants. When the servant says, ‘All praise is due to God’, the Lord of existence, God says, ‘My servant has praised Me’."; Al-Shifa’ ("the Cure"), because a hadith narrates Muhammad as having said: "The Opening of the Book is a cure for every poison."; Al-Ruqyah ("remedy" or "spiritual cure")., and al-Asas, "The Foundation", referring to its serving as a foundation for the entire Quran.Surah al-Fatihah (arabe: U U U ) es el primer capitulo (surah) del Coran. Sus siete versiculos (ayat) son una oracion para la guia, senorio y misericordia de Dios. Este capitulo tiene un papel esencial en la oracion islamica (salat). El significado literal principal de la expresion "al-Fatihah" es "El Abrepuerta", que podria referirse a esta Sura como "el abrecartas del Libro" (Fatihat al-kitab), a que es la primera Sura que se recita integramente en cada ciclo de oracion (rak E ah), o a la manera en que sirve de apertura para muchas funciones de la vida islamica cotidiana. Algunos musulmanes lo interpretan como una referencia a la capacidad implicita de la Sura de abrir a una persona a la fe en Dios.
