Qiyam — Standing

Al-Fatihaالْفَاتِحَة

Standing in direct address to Allah — Al-Fatiha is the 6 verses of the opening chapter. In Hanafi madhab, the Tasmiyah (Bismillah) is not a verse of Al-Fatiha; it is recited separately before it (see Ta'awwudh & Tasmiyah section).

الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ اهْدِنَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا الضَّالِّينَ

Al-hamdu lillahi Rabb il-'alamin. Ar-Rahmanir-Rahim. Maliki yawmid-din. Iyyaka na'budu wa iyyaka nasta'in. Ihdinas-siratal-mustaqim. Siratal-ladhina an'amta 'alayhim ghayril-maghdubi 'alayhim wa lad-dallin.

All praise is for Allah, Lord of all worlds. The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Master of the Day of Judgment. You alone we worship, and You alone we ask for help. Guide us to the straight path — the path of those You have blessed, not of those who earned Your anger, nor of those who went astray.

Hadith
Al-Fatiha is the mother of the Quran, the mother of the Book, and the seven oft-repeated verses.
Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 4704; Abū Dāwūd 1457
