Al-Fatihah
In
the name of Allah, the most merciful, the most Kind.
All
praise is for Allah, the Lord of the Universe. The Most Merciful, the Most
Kind.
Master
of the Day of Judgement.
You
alone we worship, from You alone we seek help. Guide us along the straight path
–
The
path of the those whom You favoured,
not
of those who earned Your anger or went astray.
In
the name of Allah, the most merciful, the most Kind.
Say,
I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind,
the
King of mankind,
the
God of mankind,
from
the mischief of the sneaking whisperer, Who whispers in the hearts of mankind,
from
among jinn and mankind.
In
the name of Allah, the most merciful, the most Kind.
Say,
I seek refuge in the Lord of the daybreak; from the evil of what He has
created;
from
the evil of the darkness when it is intense; from the evil of those who seek to
promote discord (malignant witchcraft);
from
the evil of the envier when he envies.
In
the name of Allah, the most merciful, the most Kind.
Say,
He is Allah, the One.
Allah
is Eternal and Absolute.
None
is born of Him nor is He born.
And
there is none like Him.
In
the name of Allah, the most merciful, the most Kind.
May the hands
of Abu Lahab perish; doomed is he. His wealth and his gains shall not avail
him.
He
shall enter the blazing fire,
and
his wife, the carrier of firewood,
shall
have a rope of palm fibre round her neck.
In
the name of Allah, the most merciful, the most Kind.
When
victory granted by Allah and the conquest come;
And
see you people embracing the religion of Allah in large numbers,
then
celebrate the praises of your Lord, and seek His forgiveness.
He
is ever ready to show mercy.
In
the name of Allah, the most merciful, the most Kind.
Say,
O disbelievers!
I
do not worship what you worship;
Nor
do you worship what I worship.
I
shall never worship what you worship.
Neither
you worship what I worship.
You
have your own religion and I have mine.
In
the name of Allah, the most merciful, the most Kind.
Indeed
we have given you the Kawthar (Abundance or fountain);
So
to pray your Lord and make sacrifice.
Surely
your hater is the one cut off.
In
the name of Allah, the most merciful, the most Kind.
Have
you seen him who denies the judgement?
It
is he whoharshly repels the orphan
And
does not urge others to feed the needy.
Woe
to those who pray
But
are heedless of their prayers;
Who
put on a show of piety
But
refuse to give even the smallest help to others.
In
the name of Allah, the most merciful, the most Kind.
For
the tradition of the Quraish:
their
tradition of travelling in winter and summer.
Let
them worship the Lord of this house,
Who
provides them with food lest they
Should
go hungry, and with security
lest
they should live in fear.
In
the name of Allah, the most merciful, the most Kind.
Have
you not seen how your Lord has dealt with the people of the elephant?
Did
he not cause their treacherous plan to be futile,
And
send against them flights of birds,
Which
pelted them with stones of sand and clay?
This
He made them like devoured dry leaves.
