الحمد لله رب العالمين

الرحمن الرحيم

مالك يوم الدين

إياك نعبد وإياك نستعين

صراط الذين أنعمت عليهم غير المغضوب عليهم ولا الضالين

Why it is first

It is recited in every unit of every prayer, so it is the surah worth studying most closely: each word, each tajwid rule, each meaning. My study notes for it will be added here.
