The number of verses in Surat al-Fatihah.

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

The Shaykh : How many verses does it have? It has seven verses, and they are: the seven repeated verses that Allah the Exalted mentioned specifically, saying:

And We have certainly given you, [O Muhammad], seven of the often repeated [verses] and the great Qur'an.

ولقد آتيناك سبعاً من المثاني والقرآن العظيم

[Al-Hijr 15:87]

Allah singled them out specifically from among the rest of the Qur'an, in honor of their virtue and their status in the Book of Allah, Mighty and Majestic.
