The Holy Qur'an/1. The Opening

==== 1. The Opening (Al-Fatihah) ====
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
 Praise be to God, the Lord of the worlds, 
 The Beneficent, the Merciful, 
 Master of the day of Requital. 
 Thee do we serve and Thee do we beseech for help. 
 Guide us on the right path, 
 The path of those upon whom Thou hast bestowed favours, 
 Not those upon whom wrath is brought down, nor those who go astray.
