The Opening -
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
-
Praise belongs to God, the Lord of all Being,
-
the All-merciful, the All-compassionate,
-
the Master of the Day of Doom.
-
Thee only we serve; to Thee alone we pray for succour.
-
Guide us in the straight path,
-
the path of those whom Thou hast blessed, not of those against whom Thou art wrathful, nor of those who are astray.
