Tafsir of Surah al-Fatihah: al-Tafsir al-Muyassar
The book Al-Tafsir al-Muyassar was written by a group of scholars under the direction of sheikh Saalih Aal al-Sheikh, Minister of Islamic Affairs for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It was designed to be a simple and easy-to-understand tafsir according to the understanding of the salaf. What follows is its brief tafsir of surah al-Fatihah and translation:
ุจูุณูู ู ุงููููููู ุงูุฑููโุญูู ูููฐูู ุงูุฑููโุญููู ู
In the Name of Allah, al-Rahman al-Raheem (1)

Surah al-Fatihah โ This surah is called al-Fatihah [the Opening] because it is what the magnificent Qurโan opens with. And it is called al-Mathaani [the oft-repeated] because it is recited in every unit of prayer. And it also has other names.
ุฃุจุชุฏุฆ ูุฑุงุกุฉ ุงููุฑุขู ุจุงุณู ุงููู ู ุณุชุนููุง ุจู . ู
One begins reciting the Qurโan with the name of Allah, seeking aid in Him.
ู {ุงูููู} ุนูู ุนูู ุงูุฑุจ- ุชุจุงุฑู ูุชุนุงูู- ุงูู ุนุจูุฏ ุจุญู ุฏูู ุณูุงูุ ููู ุฃุฎุต ุฃุณู ุงุก ุงููู ุชุนุงููุ ููุง ูุณู ู ุจู ุบูุฑู ุณุจุญุงูู. ู
โAllahโ is a designation indicating the Rabb โ blessed and exalted is He โ , the rightful object of worship to the exclusion of any others. And this is the most exclusive of Allahโs names, and none other than Him are called by it.
ู {ุงูุฑููุญูู ููู} ุฐู ุงูุฑุญู ุฉ ุงูุนุงู ุฉ ุงูุฐู ูุณุนุช ุฑุญู ุชู ุฌู ูุน ุงูุฎูู . ู
โal-Rahmanโ is the possessor of a general rahmah [mercy], the One whose rahmah extends to all of the creation.
ู {ุงูุฑููุญููู ู} ุจุงูู ุคู ูููุ ููู ุง ุงุณู ุงู ู ู ุฃุณู ุงุฆู ุชุนุงููุ ูุชุถู ูุงู ุฅุซุจุงุช ุตูุฉ ุงูุฑุญู ุฉ ููู ุชุนุงูู ูู ุง ูููู ุจุฌูุงูู. ู
โal-Raheemโ [the especially merciful] to the believers. And these are two of His names, both of which include an affirmation of Allahโs attribute of al-Rahmah as is befitting of His majesty.
ุงููุญูู ูุฏู ูููููููู ุฑูโุจูู ุงููุนูุงููู ูููู
All praise belongs of the Lord of all creation (2)
ู {ุงูุญูู ูุฏู ูููู ุฑูุจูู ุงูุนูุงููู ูููู} ุงูุซูุงุก ุนูู ุงููู ุจุตูุงุชู ุงูุชู ูููููุง ุฃูุตุงู ูู ุงูุ ูุจูุนู ู ุงูุธุงูุฑุฉ ูุงูุจุงุทูุฉุ ุงูุฏูููุฉ ูุงูุฏููููุฉุ ููู ุถู ูู ุฃูู ูุฑู ูุนุจุงุฏู ุฃู ูุญู ุฏููุ ููู ุงูู ุณุชุญู ูู ูุญุฏูุ ููู ุณุจุญุงูู ุงูู ูุดุฆ ููุฎููุ ุงููุงุฆู ุจุฃู ูุฑูู ุ ุงูู ุฑุจู ูุฌู ูุน ุฎููู ุจูุนู ูุ ููุฃูููุงุฆู ุจุงูุฅูู ุงู ูุงูุนู ู ุงูุตุงูุญ. ู
This is praising Allah for His attributes, all of which are attributes of perfection. And it is praising Him for His blessings โ both outwardly and inwardly, in terms of the deen and in terms of the dunya.
- And in its contents there is a command for His slaves to praise Him, for He alone is deserving of that, and He is the originator of the creation, the establisher and maintainer of their affairs, the nurturer of all of His creation through His blessings and towards His allies in particular through al-eemaan and righteous good deeds.

โal-Rahmanโ is the One whose rahmah [mercy] extends to all creation. โal-Raheemโ [the especially merciful] to the believers. And these are two names from the names of Allah.
ู ูุงูููู ููููู ู ุงูุฏููููู

And He alone is the owner of the Day of Judgement, and that is the day of recompense for deeds.

- And in the Muslimโs recitation of this ayah in every unit of his prayers there is a reminder for him of the Last Day, and an incitement for him to prepare for it by performing righteous good deeds and abstaining from acts of disobedience and sins.

We single You out alone for worship, and we seek aid from You alone in all of our affairs. For all affairs are in Your hand โ no one else possesses even an atomโs weight of anything.
- And in this ayah there is a proof that the slave is not permitted to turn any portion of any form of worship โ such as supplication, or supplication in times of severe difficulty, or sacrifice, or tawaaf โ to any one or thing other than Allah alone.
- And in that there is a cure for the heart from the disease of attaching oneโs heart to other than Allah, as well as a cure from the sicknesses of showing off, self-amazement, and pride.

Show us and direct us and grant us the accord to follow the straight way, and make us firm upon it until we meet You. And that is al-Islaam, that which is the clear way which leads to the pleasure of Allah and upon His Jannah. It is that which the seal of Allahโs messengers and His prophets โ Muhammad โ showed us. So there is no path to the slaveโs ultimate joy except by means of being firm and upright upon this.

The way of those upon whom You have bestowed favor from amongst the prophets, the truthful ones, the martyrs and the righteous ones. For they are the people of guidance and uprightness. And do not make us among those who traverse the way of those who have evoked Your anger โ those who know the truth but do not act according to it, and they are the Jews and those in their same mold. Nor those who are astray are those who are not guided, so they stayed from the path. And there are the Christians and those who follow their ways.
- And in this supplication there is a cure for the heart of the Muslim from the sickness of denying the truth and ignorance and misguidance.
- And in this there is also an indication that the greatest blessing without any exception is the blessing of Islam. For whoever recognizes the truth and follows it, then he is upon the Straight Path. And there is no doubt that the companions of the Messenger of Allah are the best of the people in that regard, after the prophets. So this ayah indicates their merits and the greatness of their stations โ may Allah be pleased with them.

And meaning of that is, โOh Allah, accept this.โ And saying โaameenโ is not an ayah of surah al-Fatihah according to the agreement of the scholars, and for this reason they agreed upon not writing it down in the mushafs.

The book Al-Tafsir al-Muyassar was written by a group of scholars under the direction of sheikh Saalih Aal al-Sheikh, Minister of Islamic Affairs for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It was designed to be a simple and easy-to-understand tafsir according to the understanding of the salaf. What follows is its brief tafsir of surah al-Fatihah and translation:

Surah al-Fatihah โ This surah is called al-Fatihah [the Opening] because it is what the magnificent Qurโan opens with. And it is called al-Mathaani [the oft-repeated] because it is recited in every unit of prayer. And it also has other names.
ุฃุจุชุฏุฆ ูุฑุงุกุฉ ุงููุฑุขู ุจุงุณู ุงููู ู ุณุชุนููุง ุจู . ู

This is praising Allah for His attributes, all of which are attributes of perfection. And it is praising Him for His blessings โ both outwardly and inwardly, in terms of the deen and in terms of the dunya.

The way of those upon whom You have bestowed favor from amongst the prophets, the truthful ones, the martyrs and the righteous ones. For they are the people of guidance and uprightness. And do not make us among those who traverse the way of those who have evoked Your anger โ those who know the truth but do not act according to it, and they are the Jews and those in their same mold. Nor those who are astray are those who are not guided, so they stayed from the path. And there are the Christians and those who follow their ways.
- And in this supplication there is a cure for the heart of the Muslim from the sickness of denying the truth and ignorance and misguidance.
- And in this there is also an indication that the greatest blessing without any exception is the blessing of Islam. For whoever recognizes the truth and follows it, then he is upon the Straight Path. And there is no doubt that the companions of the Messenger of Allah are the best of the people in that regard, after the prophets. So this ayah indicates their merits and the greatness of their stations โ may Allah be pleased with them.

And meaning of that is, โOh Allah, accept this.โ And saying โaameenโ is not an ayah of surah al-Fatihah according to the agreement of the scholars, and for this reason they agreed upon not writing it down in the mushafs.
