Method of Salat

( Surah Al-fatiha )

بِسْمِ اللّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ(1)

*Bismillah hir Rahmaanir Raheem
    1. In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.

الْحَمْدُ لِلّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ (2)

*Al-hamdu-li-Llahi Rabbil-aalemeen
    1. All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the Worlds.

اَلرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ (3)

*Ar-Rahmaanir Raheem
    1. The Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.

مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ (4)

*Maaliki Yawmid Deen
    1. Master of the Day of Judgement.

إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِين ُ(5)

*Iyyaaka na'budu wa Iyyaaka nasta'een
    1. You alone (Allah) do we serve and You alone (Allah) do we ask for help.

اِهْدِنَا الصِّرَاطَ المُسْتَقِيمَ (6)

*Ihdinas siraatal mustaqeem
    1. Keep us on the right path.

صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنعَمْتَ عَلَيهِمْ غَيرِ المَغضُوبِ عَلَيهِمْ وَلاَ الضَّالِّينَ (7)

Siratal-ladhina an'amta 'alayhim, Ghayril maghdhuubi 'alayhim wa-ladh dhaaleen
7. The path of those upon whom You have bestowed favours. Not (the path) of those upon whom Your wrath is brought down on, nor of those who go astray.
