The Holy Quran 1:2 — Surah Al-Fatihah

Arabic text

ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

Translation

All praise belongs to Allaah, the Rabb (the Cherisher, the Creator, the Sustainer) of the universe (and whatever it contains)...

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

All praise belongs to Allah: that is, all praises, the finest of the fine, from the first to the last, those that have been and those that will be, befit Allah alone. For He alone is the Creator and the Giver of every blessing and of every thing, whether He grants it directly or through an intermediary.
