‘In the Name of Allah, the
Beneficent, the Merciful. All
praise belongs to God, Lord
of the Universe, the
Beneficent, the Merciful
and Master of the Day of
Judgment, (Lord), You alone
We do worship and from
You alone we do seek
assistance, (Lord), guide us
to the right path, the path
of those to whom You have
granted blessings, those
who are neither subject to
Your anger nor have gone
astray.’ [Holy Quran, 1:1]
