The Noble Prophet Muhammad saws is reported to have said "...by Him Who is in possession of my life, a surah like this one has been revealed neither in the Torah nor in the Bible, nor even in the rest of the Quran.". The satan lamented , wept, and tore his hair out on four occasions : when he was cursed, when he was thrown out of Heaven, when Muhammad saws was given Prophethood, and when Surat al-Fatihah was revealed.
The above two separate stories will suffice for us to take this Surah al-Fatiha very seriously. That is why in a prayer (namaz or salat) it is compulsory to recite this surah. I will advice readers to recite surah al-Fatiha in this manner :
After the first Optional Prayer in prayer recite surah al-Fatiha 14 times with these conditions :
- Looking towards the direction of prayer
- Thinking about Allah swt
- Recite slowly and softly
Try to recite this formula for every prayer and you will reach whatever status you want in this life.

I just have one question 2 ask. In your passage it says to recite surah al-fatiha 14x after the Optional Prayer. Can you explain what the Optional Prayer is?
Btw, your website is very,very inspiring. I have recited surah alfatiha 14x like u hav sed but only for prayers Maghrib. dhur and Asr. I feel bad becuz i hav no time 4 the other paryers:(. Thnk you. U must be a very blessed man.
I look forward 2 reading ur book.
Optional prayer is the prayer before or after obligatory prayers.The book on Jinn can be purchased ...just click the picture of the book and it will be directed to lulu.com
There's a haddith that's totally calling your name bro:
Abu Hurairah (Raa) Narrated : The Prophet peace be upon him said :
“No Salat (prayer) is heavier (harder) for the hypocrites than the Fajr and the Isha prayers,
but if they knew the reward of these Salat (prayers) at their respective times, they would
certainly present themselves (in the mosques) even if they have to crawl.”
Please remember Allah swt watching us what we do outside prayer. Are we remembering Him? So if you recite Surah Fatiha after optional prayer the deed gets more marks than you imagine. Normally, after fard prayer we normally doa. So the space for this act come as secondary. Leave this recitation after optional prayer as Allah swt will give plenty even if you do not ask after optional prayer.
