1:2 All the Praises and thanks be to God, the Lord of the Universe.
Al ḥamdu lillāhi rabbi l-’ālamīn
1:3 The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Ar raḥmāni r-raḥīm
1:4 Master of the Day of Judgment.
Māliki yawmi d-dīn
1:5 You alone we worship, and You alone we ask for help
Iyyāka na’budu wa iyyāka nasta’īn
1:6 Guide us to the straight way;
Ihdinā ṣ-ṣirāṭ al mustaqīm
