Surah Al-Faatihah

Dr. Pasha, Shawwal 1425, December 3, 2004 

The Opening

(1)

In the name of
Allah,
The most merciful,
The most merciful.

 (2)
 All praise
Belongs to Allah,
The master of
The worlds.

(3)
 The most merciful,
The most merciful.

(4)
Owner of
The Day of Judgment.

(5)
You alone
Do we serve! 

And
You alone
Do we ask for help! 

(6)
Guide us to
The path
Straight -

(7)
The path of
Those you favored and blessed -
Not of those on whom is your wrath.
Nor of those that are lost.

(Aameen!)
