Al- Qur’an Al-Kareem Surah Al-Fatihah (The Opening)

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم وبه نستعين

الحمد لله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله وعلى آله وأصحابه أجمعين

﴿ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـنِ الرَّحِيمِ ﴾ {1}

1- In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

﴿ الْحَمْدُ للَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَـلَمِينَ ﴾ {2}

2- (All praise and thanks be to Allah, the Lord of existence.)

Allah says, `My servant has praised Me.' When the servant says,

﴿ الرَّحْمَـنِ الرَّحِيمِ ﴾ {3}

3- (The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.)

Allah says, `My servant has glorified Me.' When he says,

﴿ مَـلِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ ﴾ {4}

4- (The Owner of the Day of Recompense.)

Allah says, `My servant has glorified Me,' or `My servant has related all matters to Me.' When he says,

﴿ إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ ﴾ {5}

5- (You (alone) we worship, and You (alone) we ask for help.)

Allah says, `This is between Me and My servant, and My servant shall acquire what he sought.' When he says,

﴿ اهْدِنَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ ﴾ {6}

6- Guide us to the straight path.

﴿ صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلاَ الضَّآلِّينَ ﴾ {7}

7- (The way of those on whom You have granted Your grace, not (the way) of those who earned Your anger, nor of those who went astray),

Allah says, `This is for My servant, and My servant shall acquire what he asked for.').''
