THE OPENING (AL-FATIHAH)

1

In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

2 All praise is due to God,

the Lord of the Universe.

3 the Beneficent, the Merciful;

4 Lord of the Day of

Judgement.

 5 You alone we

worship, and to You alone we

turn for help. 

6 Guide us to the

straight path: 

7 the path of those

You have blessed; not of

those who have incurred Your

wrath, nor of those who have

gone astray.
