# Q1:4

<mark style="color:yellow;">\[1:1]</mark> In the name of GOD, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.\*

<mark style="color:yellow;">\[1:2]</mark> Praise be to GOD, Lord of the universe.

<mark style="color:yellow;">\[1:3]</mark> Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

<mark style="color:yellow;">\[1:4]</mark> (<mark style="color:green;">**Master**</mark>**) / (**<mark style="color:red;">**King**</mark>**)** of the Day of Judgment.

<mark style="color:yellow;">\[1:5]</mark> You alone we worship; You alone we ask for help.

<mark style="color:yellow;">\[1:6]</mark> Guide us in the right path;

<mark style="color:yellow;">\[1:7]</mark> the path of those whom You blessed; not of those who have deserved wrath, nor of the strayers.\
