There is one piece of the Koran, belonging to the beginning of this period, if not to the close of
the former, which claims particular notice. This is Sara i., the Lord's prayer of the Fsti,, a the
Mosslems, avigrous hymn of praise to God, the Lord of both worlds, which ends is a petition for
aid and true quidance (hudo). The words of this sura, which is known as Al-Fdthiha (the opening
one), are as follows:
1: In the name of God, the compassionate compassioner. 2: praise be [literally "is"] to God, the

Lord of the worlds. 3: The compassionate compassioner. 4: The sovereign of lthe day of judgment.
5: Thee do we worship and of thee do we beg assistance. 6: Direct us in the right way; 7: in the
way of those to whom thou has been gracious, on whom there is no wrath, and who go not astray.
The thouhgts are so simple as to need no explanation; and yet the prayer is full of meaning. It is
true that there is not a single original idea of Mahomet's in it. of the seven verses of the sura no
less than five (verses 1, 2, 3, 4, 6) have an extremely suspicious ralationship with the stereotyped
formulae of Jewish and Christian liturgies. (Encyclopedia Britannica, 11th edition, V: 15, Page:
