Chapter 1, 7 verses
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Im Namen Allahs, des Allerbarmers, des Barmherzigen.
All the praises and thanks be to Allah, the Lord of the Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists).
(Alles) Lob gehört Allah, dem Herrn der Welten,
The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
dem Allerbarmer, dem Barmherzigen,
The Only Owner (and the Only Ruling Judge) of the Day of Recompense (i.e. the Day of Resurrection)
dem Herrscher am Tag des Gerichts.
You (Alone) we worship, and You (Alone) we ask for help (for each and everything).
Dir allein dienen wir, und zu Dir allein flehen wir um Hilfe.
Guide us to the Straight Way.
Leite uns den geraden Weg,
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). ,
den Weg derjenigen, denen Du Gunst erwiesen hast, nicht derjenigen, die (Deinen) Zorn erregt haben, und nicht der Irregehenden!
