The Qur'anic Treasures hidden in the Surah Faatihah
In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful

The Beneficent, the Merciful.(1:2)
Owner of the Day of Judgement.(1:3)
Thee (alone) we worship; Thee (alone) we ask for help. (1:4)
Show us the straight path,(1:5)
The path of those whom Thou hast favoured; (1:6)
Not (the path) of those who earn Thine anger nor of those who go astray. (1:7)
