The al-Fatiha has seven verses which are referenced in the Holy Qur'an
in Al-Hijr, 15:87 as the Seven Oft-repeated verses:
"And We have bestowed
Upon thee the Seven
Oft-repeated (Verses)
and the Grand Qur'an."
-Yusuf Ali translation
It is intriguing that the divine revelation itself
invites us to recite these sacred verses repeatedly.
Transpersonal Psychology and Depth Psychology
claim that the soul loves repetition. Surely, herein
lies not only the secret to the soul's own desire and longing,
but also the code to unlocking the Muslim psyche.
