Sheikh Mohamed Siddiq al-Minshawi · murattal

1:1

بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ ١

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

1:2

ٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ ٢

All praise be to Allah[1], the Lord[2] of the worlds[3],

Tafsir Notes

[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.

1:3

ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ ٣

the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful[4],

Tafsir Notes

[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.

1:4

مَٰلِكِ يَوۡمِ ٱلدِّينِ ٤

Master[5] of the Day of Judgment.

Tafsir Notes

[5] Other meanings for "Mālik": Sovereign, Owner, etc.

1:5

إِيَّاكَ نَعۡبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسۡتَعِينُ ٥

You alone we worship, and You alone we ask for help.

1:6

ٱهۡدِنَا ٱلصِّرَٰطَ ٱلۡمُسۡتَقِيمَ ٦

Guide us to the straight path,

1:7

صِرَٰطَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَنۡعَمۡتَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ غَيۡرِ ٱلۡمَغۡضُوبِ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وَلَا ٱلضَّآلِّينَ ٧

the path of those whom You have blessed[6]; not of those who incurred Your Wrath[7], or of those who went astray[8].

Tafsir Notes

[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.
