The Key (Al-Faatehah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate 1
Praise be to Allah, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the worlds; 2 The Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful, 3 The Only Owner (and the Only Ruling Judge) of the Day of Recompense (i.e. the Day of Resurrection) 4 You (Alone) we worship, and you (Alone) we ask for help (for each and everything). 5 Guide us in the straight path, 6 The path of those whom You have favoured – Not the path of those who earned Your anger – nor of those who are astray. 7
