Explanatory translation

2Praise be to Allah, who creates, protects, and controls, and who is the Owner of all beings. All praise, from the beginningless past to the endless future, belongs to Allah alone. He has created all beings, living and nonliving, brought us out of nonexistence into existence, met our needs, and placed everything at our service. He is our Lord and the Lord of all the worlds. He runs the order He has established and enables all living things to sustain their lives. He alone is worthy of every kind of praise and thanks. For He is our true Owner and Ruler, who brought the universe into being from nothing and who nourishes, nurtures, governs, and directs all living things. So we must glorify our Lord, praising Him with all our hearts, and submit to His rulings alone.
