Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Oct 24, 2026
The name "Al-Fadihah" (The Discloser/Exposer) is given to two Surahs:
1. Surat At- (The Repentance): It was named so because it exposed the hypocrites. Verses continued to be revealed, stating "And among them..." and "And among them..." until it was feared that it would not leave anyone unmentioned. 2. Surat Al-Ahzab (The Confederates): It was named so because it exposed the hypocrites and revealed the malice and enmity hidden in their hearts towards the believers.
