How to read the Hangul

الرَّحْمَٰنِ르r라흐마니 بِسْمِ비스밀

  • Bold = the stressed syllable of the word; a little stronger.
  • Overline = long vowel (madd): hold it about two beats. Length matters most in recitation.
  • Tiny = no vowel in the Arabic here — just the consonant, short.
  • Small Latin letter = a sound Korean lacks, on the next syllable: f upper teeth on lower lip · θ/ð tongue tip between the teeth · r rolled tongue tip (a bare ㄹ is l).

  • Bold, larger (ˈ) = say it strong and a little longer — the stressed syllable.
  • Faint = weak and short (a reduced vowel). Don't give every syllable equal weight.
  • Tiny 으 · 트 · 스 = barely voiced. English has no vowel there — stop on the consonant.
  • Whole word faint (the, of, and, to…) = light and quick in a sentence; stress the content words.
  • Small f v θ ð r = sounds Korean doesn't have — f: upper teeth on the lower lip; v: the same, voiced; θ/ð: tongue tip between the teeth; r: tongue curled back, touching nothing.

About this surah

Classed as a Meccan sura, this short chapter of seven verses opens in the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, and gives praise to God as Lord of all the worlds. It then describes Him as merciful and as Master of the Day of Judgement. At verse 5 the voice changes: the reader now speaks to God directly, saying that it is Him alone they serve and Him alone they ask for help. The closing verses are a request to be guided along the straight path, described as the path of those God has graced, not of those under His wrath or of those who stray. Praise, declaration and petition follow one another in a single short prayer, which is why the sura reads almost entirely in the first person plural.

  • Praise of God
  • The Day of Judgement
  • Serving God alone
  • Guidance to the straight path

The name It is called The Opening because it stands at the very beginning of the Quran and opens the Book.
