Explanation
Al-Fātiḥa is used in the book as an entry point for reading the Qur’an as a whole, because it reveals the relationship between text and reception, ritual and interpretation. It also serves as a central example of linguistic and dialogical analysis, and of how God and human being intertwine within the discursive structure.
