The Key (Al-Faatehah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful 1
Praise be to Allah, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the worlds; 2 The Most Gracious, the Dispenser of Grace, 3 The Only Owner (and the Only Ruling Judge) of the Day of Recompense (i.e. the Day of Resurrection) 4 Thee only we serve; to Thee alone we pray for succour. 5 (Lord), guide us to the right path, 6 The path of those whom Thou hast favoured. Not of those on whom is indignation brought down, nor of the astray. 7
