Ihdina-s-sirat: guide us to the straight path
Guide us to the straight path, the path of those upon whom You have bestowed favour, not of those who have earned Your anger, nor of those who are astray.
The request at the heart of al-Fatihah, which follows praise of Allah (SWT) and the pledge to worship Him alone and seek help from Him alone. Use it in personal du'a whenever its meaning matches what you are asking Allah (SWT) for. There is no fixed count unless one is established by a cited source.
The Arabic and meaning are paired with Quran 1:6-7. No special promise or count is added without a cited basis.
