The heart of the prayer
Surah al-Fatihah is seven short verses recited in every unit of prayer. New Muslims usually learn it first — by listening and repeating after a reciter, before learning the Arabic script.
Learn it by audio imitation first. Read the verified Arabic text, transliteration, translation, and word-by-word audio on Quran.com (we link out rather than reproduce the text here).
