1. In the name of Allah, most gracious, most merciful. 2. Praise be to Allah, the cherisher
and sustainer of the worlds; 3. Most gracious, most merciful; 4. Master of the day of
judgement. 5. You we worship, and your aid we seek. 6. Show us the straight way, 7. The
way of those to whom You have given your grace, not those who earn your anger, nor
those who go astray.

(ii)

(ii) Sura 112

1. Say: He is Allah, the one and only; 2. Allah, the eternal, absolute; 3. He does not
beget, nor is He begotten; 4. And there is none like Him.

(iii)

(iii) Sura 93

1. By the glorious morning light, 2. And by the night when it is still, 3. Your Lord has not
forsaken you, nor is he displeased. 4. And truly the Hereafter will be better for you than
the present. 5. And soon your Lord will give you so that you will be pleased. 6. Did He not
find you an orphan and give you shelter? 7. And He found you wandering, and He gave
you guidance. 8. And He found you in need, and made you independent. 9. Therefore,
do not treat the orphan with harshness, 10. Nor drive the beggar away; 11. But tell about
the bounty of your Lord!
