The Key (Al-Faatehah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful 1
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds, 2 The Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. 3 The Only Owner (and the Only Ruling Judge) of the Day of Recompense (i.e. the Day of Resurrection) 4 You alone we worship, and to You alone we turn for help. 5 Guide us Thou unto the path straight 6 The path of those whom You have favoured – Not the path of those who earned Your anger – nor of those who are astray. 7
