بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ

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

الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

All the praises and thanks be to Allah, the Lord of the Alameen (mankind, jinns and all thatexists).

الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ

The Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.

مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ

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

إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ

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

اهْدِنَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ

Guide us to the Straight Way

صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ

The Way of those on whom You have bestowed Your Grace ,

غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا الضَّالِّينَ

not (the way) of those who earned Your Anger (such as the Jews), nor of those who went astray (such as the Christians).
