In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Ever Merciful. (1·0)
All thanks belong to Allah alone, the Owner and Sustainer of all creation; the Most Gracious, the Ever Merciful; the Sovereign of the Day of Recompense. You alone we worship, and You alone we call upon for help. Guide us the straight way -- the way of those whom You have favoured, those who have not incurred Your displeasure, and those who have not gone astray. (1·1-6)
