In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

All praises and thanks are Allah's, the Lord(Rabb) of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists).

The Most Graciuos, the Most Merciful.

The Only Owner (and the Only Ruling Judge) of the Day of Recompense (i.e the Day of Resurrection).

You (Alone) we worship, and You (Alone) we ask for help (for each and everything).

Guide us to the Straight Way.

The way of those on whom You have bestowed Your Grace, not (the way) of those who earned Your Anger, nor of those who went astray.
