87 Preface وَلَقَد آتَيناكَ سَبعًا مِنَ المَثاني وَالقُرآنَ العَظيمَYusuf AliAnd We have bestowed upon thee the Seven Oftrepeated (Verses)1 and the Grand Qur-ān.The Seven Oft-repeated Verses are usually understood to be the Opening Sūra, the Fatihah. They sum up the whole teaching of the Qur-ān. What can be a more precious gift to a Muslim than the glorious Qur-ān or any Sūra of it? Worldly wealth, honour, possessions, or anything else, sinks into insignificance in comparison with it (Cf. n. 17).
