TRANSLATION

1:1 In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful. 1:2 [All] praise is [due] to Allah, Lord of the worlds. 1:3 The Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful. 1:4 Sovereign of the Day of Recompense. 1:5 It is You we worship and You we ask for help. 1:6 Guide us to the straight path. 1:7 The path of those upon whom You have bestowed favour, not of those who have evoked [Your] anger or of those who are astray.

BENEFIT AND VIRTUE Abu Huraira r.a reported, The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: Allah said: “I have divided prayer between myself and my servant into two halves, and my servant shall have what he has asked for”. When the servant says: “All praise is due to Allah the Lord of the worlds” Allah says: “My servant has praised me”. When he says: “The Gracious, the Merciful” Allah says: “My servant has exalted me”. When he says: “The Master of the Day of Judgment” Allah says: “My servant has glorified me and my servant has submitted to me”. When he says: “You alone we worship, you alone we ask for help” Allah says: “This is between me and my servant, and my servant will have what he has asked for”. When he says: “Guide us to the straight path, the path of those whom you have favoured, not those who went astray” Allah says: “This is for my servant, and my servant will have what he has asked for”.
