إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ
"Iyyaaka na'budu wa iyyaaka nasta'een",
Translation and transliteration :
* You (alone) we worship, and You (alone) we ask for help."
* Hum teyri hi ibadat karte hain, aur tujh hi se madad mangte hain
ہم تیری ہی عبادت کرتے ہیں اور تجھ ہی سے مدد چاہتے ہیں۔
* हम तेरी ही इबादत करते हैं, और तुझ ही से मदद मांगते है।
Explanation:
* This emphasizing that Allah is the sole Being worthy of worship and the only one capable of granting assistance, rejecting polytheism and dependence on anyone else, a core Islamic principle of exclusive devotion and trust in God (Tawhid).
