4 of 6 YAQUT MANUSCRIPT. Surat 1 Fatiha (The Opening), seven short verses give the essence of the Qur&#x27;an. Likened to David&#x27;s 23rd Pslam of the Christian NT, it is memorized &amp; recited by all Muslims as part of the 5 daily prayer: &quot;Praise be to God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful, Cherisher &amp; Sustainer of the Worlds. Most Gracious Most Merciful; Master of the Day of Judgement. Thee do we worship, &amp; Thine Aid we seek. Show us the Straight Way. . .&quot; (Y Ali trans.) (A Shabbas)
