Praise be to God, Lord of the worlds! The compassionate, the merciful! King on the day… — Qur’an 1:2–6 (Rodwell)

Praise be to God, Lord of the worlds! The compassionate, the merciful! King on the day of reckoning! Thee only do we worship, and to Thee do we cry for help. Guide Thou us on the straight path.
