Al-Fateha

IN THE NAME OF ALLAH, MOST GRACIOUS, MOST MERCIFUL.
PRAISE BE TO ALLAH, THE CHERISHER AND SUSTAINER OF THE WORLDS.
MOST GRACIOUS MOST MERCIFUL.
MASTER OF THE DAY OF JUDGEMENT.
THEE DO WE WORSHIP AND THINE AID WE SEEK.
SHOW US THE STRAIGHT WAY.
THE WAY OF THOSE ON WHOM THOU HAS BESTOWED THE GRACE, THOSE WHOSE PORTION IS NO WRATH AND WHO GO NO ASTRAY.

Allah needs no praise, for he is above all praise. He needs no petition, for he knows our needs better than we do ourselves, and his bounties are open without asking to the righteous and sinners alike. The prayer is primarily for our own spiritual education, consolation and confirmation.

That is the way the words in this Sura are given to us in the form in which we should utter them.

RAHMAN THE MOST GRACIOUS.

RAHIM - THE MOST MERCIFUL.

RABB - ALLAH CARES FOR ALL THE WORLD HE HAS CREATED.
