بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ

الْحَمْدُ للّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

الرَّحْمـنِ الرَّحِيمِ

مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ

إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ

اهدِنَــــا الصِّرَاطَ المُستَقِيمَ

صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنعَمتَ عَلَيهِمْ غَيرِ المَغضُوبِ عَلَيهِمْ وَلاَ الضَّالِّينَ

In the Name of God, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful

All appreciation, gratefulness and thankfulness are to Allah alone, Lord of the Worlds (human kind, jinn and all that exists; whether seen or unseen)

(Allah Is), The Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful

The Possessor (Holder, Owner, Caller and Only Ruler) of the Day of Recompense (i.e. on the Last Day of Judgment or on the Day of Resurrection)

You (Alone) we worship (adore and abide by Your Guidance), and You (Alone) we seek help (on everything)

Direct (Oh Allah) all of us (wholly) to the Straight Path (i.e. to the Way of Islam)

The Way of those on whom You have bestowed Your Grace, not (the way) of those who have earned Your Anger/Wrath, nor of those who have lost their way and are astray.
