Al-Fatiha

From Mw

Translation of the Qur`an

This is a translation of the Qur`an. Any translation of the Qur`an automatically ceases to be the literal word of Allah, and therefore cannot not be equated with the Qur`an in its original Arabic form. This is a translation of surat Al-Fatiha, by Abdullah Yusuf Ali. It is the 1st chapter of the Qur`an, and consists of 7 verses. For an exegesis of certain verses of this surah, see Tafsir Al-Fatiha.

¹ In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

² Praise be to Allah, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the worlds;

³ Most Gracious, Most Merciful;

⁴ Master of the Day of Judgment.

⁵ Thee do we worship, and Thine aid we seek.

⁶ Show us the straight way,

⁷ The way of those on whom Thou hast bestowed Thy Grace, those whose (portion) is not wrath, and who go not astray.
