    Sfirah Al Fatiha: The Lord's Prayer

    Uploaded by

    David Santos
    The document compares and contrasts the opening prayers of Islam and Christianity. Both begin with addressing God, then move to adoration, submission, and supplication. The Fatiha from Islam addresses God as "the most merciful, the most compassionate" while the Lord's Prayer addresses God as "Our Father who art in heaven." Both emphasize adoration of God but differ in their expressions of submission and requests for guidance versus daily provision and deliverance from evil.
