Verset: 1

بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

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

Verset: 2

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.

Verset: 3

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.

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.
