In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
All the praises and thanks be to Allah, the Lord of the Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists).
All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.
الحمد لله رب العالمين
The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
The Beneficent, the Merciful.
الرحمن الرحيم
The Only Owner (and the Only Ruling Judge) of the Day of Recompense (i.e. the Day of Resurrection)
Master of the Day of Judgment.
مالك يوم الدين
You (Alone) we worship, and You (Alone) we ask for help (for each and everything).
Thee do we serve and Thee do we beseech for help.
إياك نعبد وإياك نستعين
Guide us to the Straight Way.
Keep us on the right path.
اهدنا الصراط المستقيم
The Way of those on whom You have bestowed Your Grace , not (the way) of those who earned Your Anger (i.e. those who knew the Truth, but did not follow it) nor of those who went astray (i.e. those who did not follow the Truth out of ignorance and error). ,
The path of those upon whom Thou hast bestowed favors. Not (the path) of those upon whom Thy wrath is brought down, nor of those who go astray.
صراط الذين أنعمت عليهم غير المغضوب عليهم ولا الضالين
