بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ 

In the name of Allah, the Mercy-Giving, the Very Merciful,

ٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ 

[All] thanks and appreciation are due to Allah [alone], the Sustainer of all the worlds [with their biospheres, domains, earths, and humanities],

ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ 

The Mercy Giving, the Very Merciful,

مَٰلِكِ يَوۡمِ ٱلدِّينِ 

The Domain-Lord of the Day of Judgement!

إِيَّاكَ نَعۡبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسۡتَعِينُ 

You alone do we conform to; and You alone do we ask for help.

ٱهۡدِنَا ٱلصِّرَٰطَ ٱلۡمُسۡتَقِيمَ 

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.
