SAQ 1: The Opening



1: The Opening	(1:1,3) "Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful" Who is the author of the Quran? Is Allah kind and merciful? (1:2) "Lord of the Worlds" By using the phrase, "Lord of the Worlds," is the Quran acknowledging the existence of other solar systems, planets, and earth-like worlds?
1:1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
1:2 Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds,
1:3 The Beneficent, the Merciful.
1:4 Master of the Day of Judgment,	(1:6-7) "Show us the straight path, The path of those whom Thou hast favoured; Not the (path) of those who earn Thine anger nor of those who go astray." "Those whom Allah has favored," "those who earn Allah's anger," and "those who go astray" are Muslims, Jews, and Christians, respectively.
1:5 Thee (alone) we worship; Thee (alone) we ask for help.
1:6 Show us the straight path,
1:7 The path of those whom Thou hast favoured; Not the (path) of those who earn Thine anger nor of those who go astray.
