Asalaam Aleikum wa Rahmatallah

Guide us to the Straight Way:
-Ihdina alssirata almustaqeema

I believe that Siraatal Mustaqeem means the "straight and narrow way/path," as in the path followed by true Muslims. This would be as opposed to following the path of those who go astray and do not earn Allah's favor. This is an ayah, or line of Suratal Fatiha, the first Sura (chapter) of the Holy Quran. You can find English transliterations of the Quran at a library, bookstore, or even here on line, Inshallah.

Wa Salaam
