1. Al-Fatihah/The Prologue
I seek Allah’s protection

from the satanic, the accursed and evil forces within the human soul and social environment.

01:01
a. I/We begin by the Blessed Name of Allah.
b. The Immensely Merciful to all,
c. The Infinitely Compassionate to everyone.
01:02
All Praise and Gratitude is for Allah alone, while one can never adequately praise HIM and express gratitude.
Rabb - The Lord Creator and the Lord Sustainer of all existence from infinity to eternity.

01:03
Allah - The Immensely Merciful to all,
Allah - The Infinitely Compassionate to everyone.

01:04
a. Allah is the sole and the Supreme Authority on all judgments at the Time of Final Judgment.
01:05
It is YOU alone – O Allah! – we consciously submit to in worship, awe, and reverence, and
it is to YOU alone – O Allah! – we call for help, mercy, and compassion.

01:06
a. Guide us to the righteous approach of understanding and practicing Islam in all its connotations, and set us firmly upon it.

01:07
The approach of those whom YOU favor and bless,
and, not of those who incur YOUR Wrath,
and not of those too who are misguided and lost and are disfavored by YOU.
Amen - O Rabb, The Lord!
Accept our plea!
