fritzthedev··on Surah Al-Fatiha and the Lord's Prayer Comparison [pdf]
The doxology is the bit at the end - everything after "evil" but before "amen".

As I understand it, it was added in a book of prayers that was popular amongst protestants. It's not in the bible.

Thanks for sharing! I encountered something similar recently.

This isn't the only Stripe "secondary offering" I've found disappointing lately.

People - me included - heap praise on Stripe, and a lot of it is deserved, but there are certain times I think "Why did they ship this without X?".

Wonder if, in 10 years, we'll think of them like we do Google now.

It's an interesting comparison nonetheless. Culture is at its most fascinating when you see the overlaps between traditions, and consider why they might exist.

This borders on nit-pick but I'm disappointed to see that this includes the doxology some (presumably well-meaning) printer added to the lord's prayer in 1662.

I'm a protestant, but this seems like one the catholics got right.
