The Beginner’s Guide
To Learning How to Pray Salah
Welcome to the second guide on our website, the Beginner’s Guide on How to Pray Salah! We hope you will find value in reading this guide. It covers the second most important pillar of Islam which is the prayer (salah).
Why We Wrote This Guide
Islam is the fastest growing religion with over 1.9 billion followers all over the globe. All Muslims are taught within the religion to worship God Almighty through salah (daily prayers).
Muslims believe that we are created for the sole reason to worship Allah alone. This purpose is fulfilled through the daily salah. This guide will cover many of the essentials a Muslim needs to know in order to make their daily prayers:
- Why do we pray in the first place?
- How do I make wudu and prepare for salah?
- How do I actually pray the 5 daily salah?
- What is the difference between Fajr, Dhur, Asr, Maghrib and Isha?
- If I make a mistake in the prayer, how do I fix it and continue?
- Plus many other topics and lessons for you to learn
That’s why we divided this Beginner’s Guide into seven chapters which represent the most important areas of the prayer such as how to make wudu, how to perform the prayer, common mistakes to avoid, the conditions of prayer, and many more subjects.
Secondly, all of the verses from the Holy Quran and the narrations from Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) are written in English instead of Arabic, their original language. That means any verses or quotes you see within this guide are only interpretations of the meaning and not the exact word-for-word definition.
We’ve also included audio clips, images, and short videos to help explain how the prayer is performed, so you can follow along and learn at your own pace.
That ends our short introduction. Let’s get started!
