Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the meaning of the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) statement regarding Surat al-Fatihah and the end of Surat al-Baqarah, where he said, "You will not recite a single letter of it without being given it"?

Answer:
It is a supplication, because the end of al-Baqarah is a supplication, and al-Fatihah is entirely a supplication. So if one recites the end of al-Baqarah and recites Surat al-Fatihah with presence of heart and seeking what is contained in them of supplication, Allah will give him what he asked for.
