There has been an urgent need for a simple and concise guide which teaches the basics of prayer for Muslims. This book has been designed for people who don't know how to pray yet or those who aren't sure whether they learned correctly or not.In this book you will learn the prayers by reading clear and simple descriptions of what to do along with pictures to make sure you understood correctly. One of the unique features of this book is that it doesn't limit itself to teaching the rituals behind the prayer only. Rather, there is an entire chapter dedicated to learning the meanings behind each statement and action in the prayer.

Great Book! Very Informative!

Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2017

Being someone who thought themselves how to pray at the age of 18, I always questioned whether I was doing it right. I would see people at the mosque that prayed a little differently than me. So I decided to get this book. By the way I'm Sunni (if that matters to some). This book is absolutely amazing! If you're a new comer to Islam or just trying to make sure you're praying right this is the book for you. It has VERY clear instructions with pictures on how to pray. The best part about the book is the fact it offers the transliteration for everything. My first language is English and my second language is Urdu. So reading Arabic for me is a bit of challenge. This book also explains what it is you're reciting during each part of prayer. The book is very short, I read the entire thing in 25 minutes. And just incase you're wondering, I was happy to know I wasn't praying wrong at all, but I did learn something new. I learned the meanings of the recitations in prayer. I would recommend this to anyone.

Don't buy.

I bought this book to help teach my son his prayers after reading all the stellar reviews. For a Sunni Muslim, prayers are not recited this way. I'm pretty sure no practicing Muslim prays like this. Only God knows. This book is way too simplistic and leaves out a lot of things you're supposed to say in daily prayers. This book maybe could be a first chapter in a larger book but that is a stretch. I have yet to read a good book on prayer. Most books don't really take you step by step so a real instructor is kind of important. I wrongly thought this would be the one. So still looking.

Very handy reference, especially for someone who is learning to pray on their own. It takes you from a simple prayer cycle to a medium one, to the total prayer, all in transliterated English. It is targeted for English speaking people who know nothing, explaining the purification process (wudu), to the positions, to the explanation of the Arabic words to recite for the prayer. As a convert, I use it every day.

The intent of the book was great. But in order to learn how to properly perform the prayer, one needs to go to the Masjid and learn by example. While of course using the reading material. Ex. Watching, asking, listening, etc... I think its great that a young Imam is trying to bring a better understanding to the prayer.

This was helpful to learn the prayers to a point but half way through to 3 quarters of the way through the book I started getting confused by the way it was explaining how to do the prayers. So it wasn't completely helpful for me but it helped a little.

A Very Easy to Follow Guide on Prayer in Islam

Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2017

Verified Purchase

Prayer in Islam can be a confusing thing to grasp for those that are new to Islam or are curious about how others worship in a faith different than your own. This step-by-step guide offers a simple, how-to approach. This book is very concise and easy to follow for beginners. Whether you are a convert to Islam, studying Islam/different religions in school, or are simply curious, this is a great book for you!

ZERO EDUCATIONAL VALUE AVOID AVOID AVOID

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 8, 2019

Verified Purchase

Originally bought this book in order to have free delivery with Amazon. Bought this originally in January so that when Ramadan 2019 came along would read to see how would value you me! From start to finish this book is clearly dysfunctional disorientated lack structure and extremely poorly written. For converts wishing to learn to pray this book has no value. It is extremely confusing and even lacks transliteration of basic Surahs! Each chapter is extremely confusing and that time seems contradictory! It seems the best way for novices wanting to learn to pray is possibly check out YouTube videos supplemented by the Ghulam Sarwar literature from the Muslim educational Trust. Not sure to which audience exactly this is being aimed towards. Certainly not a step by step guide. Personally I would request a total refund from this book. Poor overall value. Do not spend time as will be confused by the end!

I think it's inaccurate

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 3, 2017

I have a question to the author about this book:

Why haven't you included Qiyaam into the recitation?

Why have you put 'alhamdulillah' in prostrating and kneeling to teh floor instead of the standard recitation. I wanted to give this book as a present and now I'm doubting whether I'll be able to.

This book provides clear instruction that helps a Muslim learn to pray in a gradual manner. The pictures are very helpful, as is the translation of the Arabic terms. The author shows excellent insight concerning the meaning of some of the aspects of prayer.
