Surah Al-Fatihah

Surah 1

ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ مَٰلِكِ يَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ ٱهْدِنَا ٱلصِّرَٰطَ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمَ صِرَٰطَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ غَيْرِ ٱلْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا ٱلضَّآلِّينَ

Al-hamdu lillahi rabbil-‘alamin. Ar-Rahmanir-Rahim. Maliki yawmid-din. Iyyaka na‘budu wa iyyaka nasta‘in. Ihdinas-siratal-mustaqim. Siratal-ladhina an‘amta ‘alayhim, ghayril-maghdubi ‘alayhim wa lad-dallin.

All praise is for Allah, Lord of all worlds. The Most Merciful, the Most Kind. Master of the Day of Judgment. You alone we worship, and You alone we ask for help. Guide us on the straight path, the path of those You have blessed, not of those who earned anger, nor of those who went astray.

Audio starts at “Al-hamdu lillahi”, without Bismillah. Bismillah is the Basmala step before it.

Child-friendly meaning

I begin in Allah’s name and recite Al-Fatihah.
