The Meaning of Al-Fatiha

This surah is sometimes known in English as "the Exordium". In various Hadith it is described as "the mother of the Book" (Umm al-Kitab) and "the mother of the Qur'an" (Umm al-Qur'an), and "the cure of diseases" ("Sura-tul-shifa") and said to be the seven verses alluded to in

وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَاكَ سَبْعًا مِّنَ الْمَثَانِي وَالْقُرْآنَ الْعَظِيمَ

And indeed, We have bestowed upon you seven of Al-Mathani (the seven repeatedly recited Verses), (i.e. Soorat Al-Fatiha) and the Grand Quran. Al-Hijr 15:87

Many Islamic scholars have emphasised the importance of this chapter in their commentaries.The Islamic mandatory prayers require every practicing Muslim in the world to recite Surah Al-Fatiha at least 17 times a day.
