AlFatiha – Interpretation by Wissam Charafeddine

In the name of compassion,

of mercy.

With gratitude I begin,

all praise is for That which nurtures and sustains,

in all dimensions of our existence, 

seen and unseen,

The compassion,

The mercy,

Compassion that meets every wound with patience and healing,
Mercy that grants space to fail, to learn, to begin again,
the quiet support beneath every breath.

Toward compassion and mercy I choose to orient my life,
and from them I seek strength and clarity.

Guide me to walk the path of thankfulnessā€”
the path of those who recognize the grace in their days
and live in harmony with itā€”
not the path of forgetting,
nor the path of turning away from the light that can grow within.
