How to Pray Salah

Salah, the daily prayer, is a foundational pillar of Islam and a profound expression of worship. Muslims perform it five times each day at designated times: Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha. It serves as a direct connection between a believer and Allah, fostering mindfulness, discipline, and spiritual focus while reinforcing the higher purpose of life. To properly perform Salah, it's essential to learn key steps such as making ablution (Wudu), facing the correct direction (Qibla), and forming the right intention (Niyyah). The prayer includes physical positions like standing (Qiyam), bowing (Ruku), prostration (Sujood), and sitting (Tashahhud), all accompanied by Quranic recitations including Surah Al-Fatiha and selected verses. Each movement and phrase in Salah carries deep spiritual meaning, nurturing humility, gratitude, and devotion. Beginners are encouraged to take a step-by-step approach, gradually mastering the actions and words before advancing to more refined details. This guide, supported by Muhammadan Quran School, walks you through each phase of Salah, helping you establish a consistent and meaningful prayer routine.
