KING JAMES ENGLISH VERSION

OUR FATHER WHICH ART IN HEAVEN
HALLOWED BE THY NAME.
THY KINGDOM COME.
THY WILL BE DONE IN EARTH, AS IT IS IN HEAVEN.
GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY BREAD.
AND FORGIVE US OUR DEBTS, AS WE FORGIVE OUR DEBTORS.
AND LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION, BUT DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
FOR THINE IS THE KINGDOM, AND THE POWER, AND THE GLORY, FOR
EVER.
AMEN.
(MATTHEW 6:9-13, KING JAMES VERSION)

SURATUL FATIHAH

(ROUGH ROMAN ALPHABET TRANSLITERATION OF ARABIC ORIGINAL)
I USE "GOD" INSTEAD OF THE PERSONAL NAME IN ARABIC
TO MAKE IT FAMILIAR TO CHRISTIANS/NON-MUSLIMS
[N.B.: SOME VERY STRICT MUSLIMS WOULD DISAGREE
THAT THIS IS IDENTICAL WITH OR THE SAME AS
THE ORIGINAL WRITTEN IN THE ARABIC SCRIPT]

BISMILLAH HIR RAHMAAN NIR RAHEEM

ALHAMDULLILAH HIR RABBIL AL AMEEN
AR_RAHMAAN NIR RAHEEM

ROUGH ENGLISH TRANSLATION:

IN THE NAME OF GOD THE MOST BENEFICENT THE MOST MERCIFUL

PRAISE BE TO GOD THE LORD OF THE WORLDS
THE MOST BENEFICENT THE MOST MERCIFUL
MASTER OF THE DAY OF JUDGMENT
TO THEE DO WE WORSHIP & TO THEE DO WE SEEK HELP
GUIDE US TO THE STRAIGHT PATH
THE PATH OF THOSE UPON WHOM THOU HAVE BESTOWED FAVOR
NOT OF THOSE WHO HAvE EVOKED THINE ANGER
OR THOSE WHO HAVE GONE ASTRAY

AMEEN

===================================================================
NOTE THE STRIKING SIMILARITY IN SUBJECT MATTER/THEME, LENGTH, TONE, ETC
BETWEEN THE LORD'S PRAYER OF CHRISTIANITY & THE AL FATIHAH OF ISLAAM. THIS LENDS SUPPORT TO THE MUSLIM'S POSITION REGARDING JESUS - MUSLIMS CONSIDER JESUS THE CHRIST OF NAZARETH, SON OF MARY, TO BE A PROPHET & ALSO A MUSLIM!!! NOTE HIS ALLEGED "ELI, ELI LAMA SABACHTHANI" UTTERED WHILE ON THE CROSS. (MUSLIMS DO NOT BELIEVE THAT HE WAS CRUCIFIED.) THIS PHRASE IS TRANSLATED AS "MY GOD, MY GOD WHY HAST THOU FORSAKEN ME?" SO IF THIS IS THE CASE THEN JESUS'S WORD FOR GOD WAS "EL" OR "ELE" OR "ELI" (SOME WRITERS CLAIM GOD'S NAME IS ELOHIM (CLOSE BECAUSE OF "EL") OR "EL SHADDAI" BUT "JEHOVAH" OR "YAHWEH" IS NOT QUITE THE SAME/SEEMS OFF THE MARK AS COMPARED WITH JESUS'S ALLEGED UTTERANCE... BUT NOTE THE SIMILARITY OF "EL/ELI/ELE" WITH "ALA/ALLA/ALLAH"...
ONE MUST BE AWARE THAT "CHRISTIANITY" IN ITS PUREST FORM AS IDENTIFIED WITH ITS "FOUNDER" ORIGINATED IN THE VERY HEART OF THAT PART OF THE WORLD CALLED THE "MIDDLE EAST". PROPHET EESA, (ESAU), AS A HISTORICAL BEING WITHIN TIME & SPACE, WAS DEFINITELY NOT A BLONDE, BLUE-EYED & WHITE-SKINNED EUROPEAN BUT MORE & MOST LIKELY A DARK OR BLACK-HAIRED, SWARTHY MIDDLE EASTERNER!!!!!!!
