Chapter 1, 7 verses
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
Im Namen Allahs, des Allerbarmers, des Barmherzigen.
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
(Alles) Lob gehört Allah, dem Herrn der Welten,
All the praises and thanks be to Allah, the Lord of the Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists).
الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
dem Allerbarmer, dem Barmherzigen,
The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ
dem Herrscher am Tag des Gerichts.
The Only Owner (and the Only Ruling Judge) of the Day of Recompense (i.e. the Day of Resurrection)
إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ
Dir allein dienen wir, und zu Dir allein flehen wir um Hilfe.
You (Alone) we worship, and You (Alone) we ask for help (for each and everything).
اهْدِنَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ
Leite uns den geraden Weg,
Guide us to the Straight Way.
صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا الضَّالِّينَ
den Weg derjenigen, denen Du Gunst erwiesen hast, nicht derjenigen, die (Deinen) Zorn erregt haben, und nicht der Irregehenden!
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). ,
