It’s the thought that counts (Qur'an, Ch. 1)

Re: Chapter 1: AL-FATIHA (THE OPENING)

It’s a short prayer, a Surah, which touches on how great God is, a bit of God’s character, an oath of fealty and a plea for guidance… Thus, according to the introduction, God answers this prayer with the Quran (instructions). Given its brevity, I’m personally at a loss for anything more interesting to imagine. Read: All assertions as to the meaning or purpose of this short prayer lack any kind of support whatsoever, thus all who would venture to interpret it are false prophets.
