Following on from the Basic guide to praying section....

It is important to emphasize that this or any type of [transliteration] text is not a substitute for the original Arabic Qur'an. It is only an attempt to help those who are trying to learn to read the Arabic text, since it is as close to the written text as possible. The English translation is also put there as a guide and should not be used for salat as a substitute. As translation of text can vary between interpreters you may wish to check other translations (in English/other languages) - all links can be found next to this column under the Qur'an reading section.

Here is the Opening Chapter of the Qur’an (al-Fatihah), followed by other passages from the Holy Book that you can use for salat. You are not restricted to use just these passages as ther are so many you can use from the glorious Qur'an.

Praise is only for Allah,
Lord of the Universe.
The most kind, the most Merciful.
The master of the Day of Judgement.
You alone we worship and to you alone we pray for help.
Show us the straight way,
The way of those whom you have blessed.
Who have not deserved your anger, Nor gone astray.

Which pelted them with stones of baked clay,
And made them like green crops devoured (by cattle)?

Hast thou observed with him who belieth religion?

And urgeth not the feeding of the needy.

Who are heedless of their prayer;
Who would be seen (at worship)
Yet refuse small kindnesses!
