From the Jawahir al Ma'ani.....
As for the excellence of the Opening Sura of the Book (Fatiha al Kitab), we are told in the Prophetic tradition (hadith) that is more glorious than the Quran, for it consists of the Seven Repetitions (as Sab al Mathani)....
If someone wishes to know more about that, he should study it in the appropriate sources. As for what our master Shaykh Ahmad Tijani (may Allah be well pleased with him) has told us about its excellence, he received it from the Chieftain of Existance Nabi Muhammad (May Allah forever shower his peace and blessings on him).
He said (Shaykh Tijani): "As for the Opening Sura (al Fatiha) Allah's Messenger (Allah bless him and give him peace) told us that it contains, each time it is recited, the reward of a recitation of the whole Quran, so I said to him (Allah bless him and give him peace): "According to some of the reports that have reached me, if someone recites it one time, it is as if he has glorified Allah with every glorification with which all of his creatures in the universe have glorified him, so he obtains the whole of this reward."
The Prophet then said to me:
'It contains even more than that, for its reciter obtains as many rewards, each time, as the number of its letters (sura Fatiha) and the letters of the Quran. For every letter, he is awarded seven palaces and seven houris (in the Garden of Paradise).' end of the Prophet's words..
It has been said that the letters of the Quran number 321,075. If you multiply that by seven, which is the number of houries awarded for each letter, the total comes to 2,247,525 houries.........
more to follow Inshallah
