اِہۡدِنَا الصِّرَاطَ الۡمُسۡتَقِیۡمَ ۙ﴿۶﴾

Guide us in the right path —

صِرَٰطَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَنۡعَمۡتَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ

The path of those on whom Thou hast bestowed Thy blessings.

وَكَانُواْ مِن قَبۡلُ يَسۡتَفۡتِحُونَ

And before that they had prayed for victory.

يَعۡرِفُونَهُۥ كَمَا يَعۡرِفُونَ أَبۡنَآءَهُمۡ

They recognize it even as they recognize their sons.

أَطِيعُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُواْ ٱلرَّسُولَ وَأُوْلِي ٱلۡأَمۡرِ مِنكُمۡ

Obey Allah, and obey His Messenger and those who are in authority among you.

فَلَمَّا تَوَفَّيۡتَنِي

But since Thou didst cause me to die.

ٱللَّهُ أَعۡلَمُ حَيۡثُ يَجۡعَلُ رِسَالَتَهُ

Allah knows best where to place His Message.

لَهُمُ ٱلۡبُشۡرَىٰ فِي ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا

For them are glad tidings in the present life.

إِنَّ عِبَادِي لَيۡسَ لَكَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ سُلۡطَٰنٌ

Surely, thou shalt have no power over My servants.

أَعۡطَىٰ كُلَّ شَيۡءٍ خَلۡقَهُ

He gave unto everything its proper form.

رَّبِّ زِدۡنِي عِلۡمٗا

‘O my Lord, increase me in knowledge.’

وَٱجۡعَلۡنَا لِلۡمُتَّقِينَ إِمَامًا-

And make us a model for the righteous.

وَاَوۡحَیۡنَاۤ اِلٰۤی اُمِّ مُوۡسٰۤی اَنۡ اَرۡضِعِیۡہِ ۚ فَاِذَا خِفۡتِ عَلَیۡہِ

And We revealed to the mother of Moses saying, ‘Suckle

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُواْ رَبُّنَا ٱللَّهُ ثُمَّ ٱسۡتَقَٰمُواْ تَتَنَزَّلُ عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلۡمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ أَلَّا تَخَافُواْ وَلَا تَحۡزَنُواْ

As for those who say, ‘Our Lord is Allah,’ and then remain steadfast, the angels descend on them, saying: ‘Fear ye not, nor grieve.

لِمَ تَقُولُونَ مَا لَا تَفۡعَلُونَ

Why do you say what you do not do?

کَبُرَ مَقۡتًا عِنۡدَ اللّٰہِ اَنۡ تَقُوۡلُوۡا مَا لَا تَفۡعَلُوۡنَ ﴿۴﴾

Most hateful is it in the sight of Allah that

ذَٰلِكَ فَضۡلُ ٱللَّهِ يُؤۡتِيهِ مَن يَشَآءُ

That is Allah’s grace; He bestows it on whom He pleases.

وَاِنَّکَ لَعَلٰی خُلُقٍ عَظِیۡمٍ ﴿۵﴾

And thou dost surely possess high moral excellences.
