الْمَصْدَرُ1-6Guide us to the straight pathاهْدِنَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيْمَ
الْمَصْدَرُthe path of those You have bestowed Your Graceصِرَاطَ الَّذِيْنَ أَنْعَمَتَ عَلَيْهِمْ
1-7not of those who have earned Your Anger nor of those who are astrayغَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوْبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا الضَّالِّيْنَ
The fools among the people will say, سَيَقُوْلُ السُّفَهَآءُ مِنَ النَّاسِ 
“What has turned them from their prayer direction which they used to face” مَا وَلَّاهُمْ عَنْ قِبْلَتِهَمُ الَّتِي كَانُوْا عَلَيْهَا
say, “to Allah (SWT) belongs the east and the west قُلْ لِلَّهِ المَشْرِقُ وَالمَغْرِبُ
2-142He guides whom He wills to the Straight Path” يَهْدِي مَنْ يَشَآءُ إِلَي صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيْمٍ
Mankind was one community until Allah (SWT) raised up prophets كَانَ النَّاسُ أُمَّةً وَحِدَةً فَبَعَثَ اللهُ النَّبِيِّينَ 
bearing glad tidings and as warner’s and He sent down with them the Book with the truth مُبَشِّرِيْنَ وَمُنْذِرِيْنَ وَأَنْزَلَ مَعَهُمُ الكِتَابَ بِالحَقِّ 
to judge between people in matters wherein they differed لِيَحْكُمَ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ فِيمَا اخْتَلَفُوا فِيهِ 
and no one differed in it except those who were given it after clear signs came to them وَمَا اخْتَلَفَ فِيهِ إِلَّا الَّذِيْنَ أُوتُوهُ مِن بَعْدِ مَا جَآءَتْهُمُ البَيِّنَاتُ 
out of jealousy among themselves and Allah (SWT) guided those who believed بَغْيًا بَيْنَهُمْ فَهَدَى اللهُ الَّذِيْنَ ءَامَنُوا 
from what they differed in it to the truth by His Permission لِمَا اخْتَلَفُوا فِيهِ مِنَ الحَقِّ بِإِذْنِهِ
2-213and Allah (SWT) guides whom He wishes to a straight path وَاللهُ يَهْدِي مَنْ يشَآءُ إِلَى صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيْمٍ
Surely, Allah (SWT) is my Lord and your Lord so, worship Him إِنَّ اللهَ رَبِّي وَرَبُّكُمْ فَاعْبُدُوهُ
3-51this is a straight path هَذَا صِرَاطٌ مُّسْتَقِيْمٌ
and how you disbelieve while on you is recited the verses of Allah (SWT)وَكَيْفَ تَكْفُرُوْنَ وَأَنْتُمْ تُتْلَى عَلَيْكُمْ ءَايَاتُ اللهِ
and among you is, His messenger وَفِيْكُمْ رَسُوْلُهُ
3-101and whoever holds firmly to Allah (SWT) then indeed, he is guided to a straight path وَمَنْ يَعْتَصِمْ بِاللهِ فَقَدْ هُدِيَ إِلَى صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيْمٍ
4-68and We surely would have guided them to a straight path وَلَهَدَيْنَاهُمْ صِرَاطًا مُّسْتَقِيْمًا
So, as for those who believe in Allah (SWT) and held fast to Him فَأَمَّا الَّذِيْنَ ءَامَنُوا بِاللهِ وَاعْتَصَمُوا بِهِ
then We will admit them into a mercy from Him and a bounty فَسَيُدْخِلُهُمْ فِي رَحْمَةٍ مِّنْهُ وَفَضْلٍ
4-175and He will guide them to Him a straight path وَيَهْدِيْهِمْ إِلَيْهِ صِرَاطًا مُّسْتَقِيْمًا
Allah (SWT) guides by it who seek (follow) His Pleasure to the ways of peace يَهْدِي بِهِ اللهُ مَنِ اتَّبَعَ رِضْوَانَهُ سُبُلَ السَّلَامِ
and removes them from darkness into the light by His permission وَيُخْرِجُهُمْ مِّنَ الظُّلُمَاتِ إِلَى النُّوْرِ بِإِذْنِهِ
5-16and He guides them to a straight path وَيَهْدِيهِمْ إِلَى صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيْمٍ
and those who neglected our signs (verses) are deaf and dumb in darkness وَالَّذِيْنَ كَذَّبُوا بِئَايَاتِنَا صُمٌّ وَبُكْمٌ فِي الظُّلُمَاتِ 
Who Allah (SWT) wishes; He lets him go astray مَنْ يَشَإِ اللهُ يُضْلِلْهُ 
6-39and who He wishes, He makes him on a straight path وَمَنْ يَشَأْ يَجْعَلْهُ عَلَى صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيْمٍ 
and from their fathers and their off-springs and their brothers and We chose them وَمِنْ ءَابَآئِهِمْ وَذُرِّيَّاتِهِمْ وَإِخْوَانِهِمْ وَاجْتَبَيْنَاهُمْ 
6-87and We guided them to a straight pathوَهَدَيْنَاهُمْ إِلَى صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيْمٍ
6-126and this is the path of your Lord, straight, indeed, We explain the verses to a people who remember وَهَذَا صِرَاطُ رَبِّكَ مُسْتَقِيْمًا قَدْ فَصَّلْنَا الأَيَاتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَذَّكَّرُوْنَ 
and that, this is My path, straight, so follow it and don’t follow paths that separate you وَأَنَّ هَذَا صِرَاطِي مُسْتَقِيْمًا فَاتَّبِعُوْهُ وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا السُّبُلَ فَتَفَرَّقَ بِكُمْ 
6-153from His path that is enjoined upon you so that you may be God-Fearing (righteous) عَنْ سَبِيْلِهِ ذَلِكُمْ وَصَّاكُمْ بِهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُوْنَ 
say, “truly me, my Lord has guided me to a straight path  قُلْ إِنَّنِي هَدَانِي رَبِّي إِلَى صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيْمٍ 
6-161a religion, right, way (religion) of Ebrahim (AS) upright and not he was of the polytheists” دِيْنًا قَيِّمًا مِّلَّةَ إِبْرَاهِيْمَ حَنِيْفًا وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ المُشْرِكِيْنَ 
7-16He said, “because You have sent me astray surely, I will sit for them on your straight path قَالَ فَبِمَآ أَغْوَيْتَنِي لَأَقْعُدَنَّ لَهُمْ صِرَاطَكَ المُسْتَقِيْمَ 
and don’t sit on every path promising (threatening) and hindering from the way of Allah (SWT) وَلَا تَقْعُدُوا بِكُلِّ صِرَاطٍ تُوْعِدُوْنَ وَتَصُدُّوْنَ عَنْ سَبِيْلِ اللهِ 
who believe in Him seeking crookedness and remember when you were few then He increased youمَنْ ءَامَنَ بِهِ وَتَبْغُونَهَا عِوَجًا وَاذْكُرُوا إِذْ كُنْتُمْ قَلِيْلًا فَكَثَّرَكُمْ
7-86and see how was the end of the corrupters وَانْظُرُوا كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ المُفْسِدِيْنَ 
and Allah (SWT) calls to the home of peace وَاللهُ يَدْعُوا إِلَى دَارِ السَّلَامِ 
10-25and He guides whom He wishes to the straight path وَيَهْدِي مَن يَشَآءُ إِلَى صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيْمٍ
