The Creed of Compassion-Islamic Teachings & Answering Doctrinal Misconceptions

Issue No.896- One should recite sūrah al-fātiḥa in the first and second rak‘ats of the daily obligatory prayers after takbīrat-ul-iḥrām, and thereafter one should recite, as an obligatory precaution, a complete sūrah of the Holy Qur’an. It should be noted that sūrah al-Fīl and sūrah Quraysh are treated to be one sūrah, and similarly sūrahs al-Ḍuḥā and al-Inshirāḥ.
