بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim

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

Said on its own, before Al-Fatihah in every rakat.

ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ مَٰلِكِ يَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ ٱهْدِنَا ٱلصِّرَٰطَ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمَ صِرَٰطَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ غَيْرِ ٱلْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا ٱلضَّآلِّينَ

Al-hamdu lillahi rabbil-‘alamin. Ar-Rahmanir-Rahim. Maliki yawmid-din. Iyyaka na‘budu wa iyyaka nasta‘in. Ihdinas-siratal-mustaqim. Siratal-ladhina an‘amta ‘alayhim, ghayril-maghdubi ‘alayhim wa lad-dallin.

All praise is for Allah, Lord of all worlds. The Most Merciful, the Most Kind. Master of the Day of Judgment. You alone we worship, and You alone we ask for help. Guide us on the straight path, the path of those You have blessed, not of those who earned anger, nor of those who went astray.

Audio starts at “Al-hamdu lillahi”, without Bismillah. Bismillah is the Basmala step before it.

قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ ٱلْفَلَقِ مِن شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ وَمِن شَرِّ غَاسِقٍ إِذَا وَقَبَ وَمِن شَرِّ ٱلنَّفَّٰثَٰتِ فِى ٱلْعُقَدِ وَمِن شَرِّ حَاسِدٍ إِذَا حَسَدَ

Qul a‘udhu bi rabbil-falaq. Min sharri ma khalaq. Wa min sharri ghasiqin idha waqab. Wa min sharrin-naffathati fil-‘uqad. Wa min sharri hasidin idha hasad.

Say, “I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreak, from the harm of what He created, from the harm of the darkness when it settles, from the harm of those who blow on knots, and from the harm of the envious when they envy.”
