بل ما وجب من الفاتحة وجب بعد الثناء،
Rather, what is obligatory from the Fatiha is required after the praise,
الْفَاتِحَةِ — the Fatiha. Pulled into the genitive by the preposition before it, shown by the '-i' ending; that ending is the mark that a preposition is governing the noun. The 'al-' makes it a specific, known chapter rather than any opening.
