The Key (Al-Faatehah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful 1
Praise be to Allah, the Cherisher and Sustainer 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 Thee do we serve and Thee do we beseech for help. 5 Guide us Thou unto the path straight 6 The path of those whom Thou hast favoured. Not of those on whom is indignation brought down, nor of the astray. 7
