The Key (Al-Faatehah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful 1
All praise is due to God, the Lord of the Universe; 2 the All-merciful, the All-compassionate, 3 The Only Owner (and the Only Ruling Judge) of the Day of Recompense (i.e. the Day of Resurrection) 4 Thee alone do we worship; and unto Thee alone do we turn for aid. 5 Guide us (O Lord) to the path that is straight, 6 The way of those upon whom Thou hast bestowed Thy blessings, not of those who have been condemned [by Thee,] nor of those who go astray! 7
