Surah Fatihah

Al-Fatihah

Opening of the HeartBismi-llah ir-Rahman ir-Rahim Al-hamdu lillahi rabb-il-'alamin Ar-Rahman ir-Rahim Maliki yawm id-Din Iyyaka na'abudu w iyyaka nasta'in Ihdin-as-sirat al-mustqim Sirata-lla dhina an'amta 'alaihim Ghair-il-maghdubi 'alaihim wa lad-Dallin Amin

We begin in the Name of Allah, Everlasting Mercy, Infinite Compassion. Praise be to Allah, Loving Lord of all the worlds. Everlasting Mercy, Infinite Compassion. Eternal Strength of every living being, Whose Majestic Power embraces us on the day of the great return. Only You do we adore, and to You alone do we cry for help. Guide us, O Allah, on the path of Perfect Harmony, the path of those whom You have blessed with the gifts of Peace, Joy, Serenity and Delight, the path of those who are not brought down by grief stricken rage, the path of those who are not lost along the way. Amin So be it.
