How can we respond to certain critics who point out that since Surat al-Fatiha is a prayer to Allah, it cannot be a revelation as it implies Allah is addressing Himself, and also that the 'Say' found in the beginning of other such Surahs is not used here? Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi	While I was reciting Surah al-Fatihah when praying, my voice didn't come out while reciting some words because I have some problem with my throat. Did I have to recite that whole verse again? Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi
What is the correct way to pronounce the Arabic letter that comes after Su'ad? Our Sunni brothers pronounce it like "Duaad" whereas the Shia tend to pronounce it like "Zuaad"?

Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi
