The Mercy Giving, the Very Merciful,
مَٰلِكِ يَوۡمِ ٱلدِّينِ

إِيَّاكَ نَعۡبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسۡتَعِينُ
You alone do we conform to; and You alone do we ask for help.

Guide us to the straightway [throughout our life long efforts] —
صِرَٰطَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَنۡعَمۡتَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ غَيۡرِ ٱلۡمَغۡضُوبِ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وَلَا ٱلضَّآلِّينَ
The way of those upon whom You have bestowed Your blessings, not those who have incurred [your] wrath, nor those who go the wrong way.
