Surah Al-Fatiha as an Abstract/Preface of the Holy Quran: A Linguistic Perspective
In the tradition of writing, multiple genres have matured enough and carry universal standardization. Most captivatingly, the universal standard has been ideally reflected in the text of the Holy Quran. The study in hand highlights the linguistic excellence of a very small but complete genre known as abstract. It plays highly significant role in the promotion of a research paper, article, thesis or project. In the tradition of book writing, it is replaced with preface. The Holy Quran is known as word of Allah Almighty. It was revealed to the last and final messenger Hazrat Muhammad (SAW). This may be claimed as the only ideal book on the face of Erath. Present study is meant to highlight Surah Al-Fatiha as an ideal abstract through linguistic analysis and interpretation. The discussion and findings of the study may help the researchers to write a better abstract/preface.
