7 short Surahs from the Quran for the beginners 

     The prayer needs Surah or some ayat after Alfatihah only in the first and the second rakhahs, the third and the fourth rakhahs needs reciting only Alfatihah, and because the prayer must be in Arabic, now I will write 7 short Surahs in Arabic and the meaning of each Surah in English.
