Episode 003 - Gracious Merciful (1:3)

We continue our discussion on surah al-Fatihah, that is the chapter titled al-Fatiha, with the third verse of the chapter. This verse is quite short, and reads: The Gracious, the Merciful. There are two key words in this verse: Rahman--which has been translated as Gracious---and Raheem--which has been translated as Merciful.
