بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

In the name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful.

ٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

All praise be to Allah[1], the Lord[2] of the worlds[3],

[1] Allah is God’s most unique name. [2] The Arabic term "rabb" (translated as "Lord") includes all of the following meanings: "owner, master, ruler, controller, sustainer, provider, guardian and caretaker." [3] "the worlds" means mankind, jinn, and all that exists.

ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful[4],

[4] Ar-Rahmān and Ar-Raheem are two names of Allah: Rahmān is used only to describe Allah, while raheem might be used to describe a human as well. Rahmān carries a wider meaning - merciful to all creation. Justice is a part of this mercy. Raheem includes the concept of specialty - especially merciful to the believers. Forgiveness is a part of this mercy. In addition, Rahmān is adjectival, referring to an attribute of Allah and is part of His essence. Raheem is verbal, indicating what He does: i.e., bestowing and implementing mercy.

مَٰلِكِ يَوۡمِ ٱلدِّينِ

Master[5] of the Day of Judgment.

[5] Other meanings for "Mālik": Sovereign, Owner, etc.

إِيَّاكَ نَعۡبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسۡتَعِينُ

You alone we worship, and You alone we ask for help.

ٱهۡدِنَا ٱلصِّرَٰطَ ٱلۡمُسۡتَقِيمَ

Guide us to the straight path,

صِرَٰطَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَنۡعَمۡتَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ غَيۡرِ ٱلۡمَغۡضُوبِ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وَلَا ٱلضَّآلِّينَ

the path of those whom You have blessed[6]; not of those who incurred Your Wrath[7], or of those who went astray[8].

[6] The way of the Prophets and those who follow them. [7] Those who know the Truth and do not follow it, like the Jews. [8] Those who are ignorant of the Truth and follow misguidance, like the Christians.
