Summarized notes on Surah Al Fatiha

[Not sure if we can summarize this chapter of the Quran, which is considered to be one of its most powerful. It is recited 2-4 times by all Muslims during each of their 5 daily obligatory prayers. It is a small chapter of which almost the full translation is presented below.]

Praise be to God - Lord of the Worlds. The Most Merciful, Compassionate. Ruler of the Judgement Day. God we worship, and to God we seek help.

(O God) Guide us to the right path - path of those blessed with grace; not of those who have incurred God's wrath, nor those who have gone astray.

The Quran is clearly revelation from the One God, Who created all. The word Quran means recitation. Read about its compilation here - Islamweb.net. ExploreQuran.org displays Quran chapters in both, the actual compilation order (in printed copies), as well as a revelation order which might provide a different approach for exploring the Holy Quran.
