A Namaz (Salah) book explains how to perform wudu and the five daily prayers step by step, with the Arabic words, their meanings and pictures or descriptions of each position. Children, reverts and adults refreshing their knowledge all benefit from a clear guide. Below are free English guides from legitimate publishers.
What a good Namaz guide covers
- Wudu (ablution), step by step.
- The five daily prayers and the number of rak'at in each.
- The positions: standing (qiyam), bowing (ruku), prostration (sujud) and sitting (jalsah, tashahhud).
- What to recite in each position, with meanings.
- Common mistakes and how to avoid them.
Teaching children to pray
- Pray beside your child so they copy the movements.
- Teach the short recitations first: Al-Fatiha, a short surah, and the tasbih of ruku and sujud.
- Add one new part at a time, such as the tashahhud.
- Praise regular effort rather than perfection.
Our Quran classes also cover Namaz, duas and kalimas for children.
