الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
Alhamdu lillahi Rabbil-'alamin
All praise is due to Allah, Lord of all the worlds.
The opening of Al-Fatihah — the most recited phrase on earth. Every Muslim says it at least seventeen times a day in prayer. "Rabb" means Lord, Master, Sustainer, Nurturer, and Educator — all in one word. "Al-'Alamin" — all the worlds: humans, jinn, animals, plants, galaxies, dimensions we cannot perceive. Every realm praises Him, and you join that chorus every time you say these words.

O Allah, praise is Yours. You are the Light of the heavens and the earth and all within them. Praise is Yours. You are the Sustainer of the heavens and the earth and all within them. Praise is Yours. You are the Truth, Your promise is true, the meeting with You is true, Your word is true, Paradise is true, the Fire is true, the Prophets are true, Muhammad is true, and the Hour is true. O Allah, to You I have submitted, in You I have believed, upon You I have relied, to You I have turned in repentance, by You I have argued, and to You I have referred for judgement. So forgive me for what I have sent ahead and what I have left behind, what I have concealed and what I have made public. You are the One who brings forward and the One who puts back. There is no god but You.
