Prayer & Supplication

Imam Ibn Qayyim's 'Asrar al-Salah' is from among the powerfully inspiring works that take the reader through a vivid journey of the stages of prayer and their profound spiritual significance - combined with the physical actions that symbolise submission, surrender and humility to Allah.

As-Salah is not only the second pillar but the main pillar of Islam — and on the Day of Judgment the first question will be about it. The Qur'an repeats the order to establish it, and states that Salah and Zakah were obligatory in the Shari'ah of all prior Prophets.

An explanation of one of the classical works on prayer and ablution written by the Imam and Mujaddid of the thirteenth century, Muhammad bin Abdil-Wahhab. Includes two full explanations — by Shaikh Muhammad Amaan Al-Jaamee and Shaikh 'Abdul-Muhsin Al-'Abbaad.

A man travels until he is disheveled and dusty, raises his hands to the sky and calls upon his Lord — yet his food, drink and clothing are all unlawfully acquired. How, the Prophet ﷺ asked, could such a supplication be answered? A brief guide to the conditions that decide the matter.

Forty authentic hadith on Salah — its importance, virtues, etiquette and spiritual dimensions — compiled by Abu Hamza Abdul Khaliq Siddiqui and translated by Najwa Jaffer. Arabic text alongside English translation, with sourced footnotes. Full-color paperback.

"Each day, I took a prayer from one of our pious predecessors, mostly from the Companions, and taught how to call upon our Creator the same way that they called upon Him," writes Shaykh Omar Suleiman. This book of thirty short prayers and reminders grew directly from that Ramadan series.

The pocket hardback of Fortress of the Muslim (Hisnul Muslim), printed on fine paper with a semi-hardback cover — authentic supplications from the Qur'an and Sunnah compiled by Sa'id bin Ali bin Wahaf Al-Qahtani, built to survive years in a pocket. The edition to buy as a gift.

Many Muslims and non-Muslims are under the false notion that the prayers are limited to five. Only Two Rak'ah revives the spirit of the Sunnah prayers, many of which have lost their importance today.

The Prophet ﷺ said: "The first thing that the servant will bring to account for on the Day of Resurrection will be the Prayer... if there is any deficiency, He will say: 'look and see whether My slave performed any supererogatory Prayers.'" (Saheeh Sunan Abu Dawud, no. 864). Al-'Allamah Muhammad ibn Salih Al-'Uthaymeen explains a number...

A Guide to Salat by Muhammad Abdul Karim Saqib fills the gap between English prayer books that are too brief to answer anything and those too detailed to consult quickly. Every practice is traced to authentic Ahadith rather than to one school, following the Prophet's ﷺ instruction: "Pray as you have seen me praying."

Every Muslim knows he must pray. Fewer could explain what the prayer is for. Why Do We Pray? by Shaykh Suhaib Hasan answers that question from the Qur'an and Sunnah — what Salah does to a person who keeps it, and what it prevents. A short booklet, ideal for new Muslims and youth.

After the home and the workplace, the masjid is the building a Muslim enters most — at least twice a day, often five times. This booklet explains why Islam gives the mosque that place: what it is for beyond the prayer, what it was in Madinah, and what it should still be doing in a community today.

Selected Invocations gathers authentic supplications for three occasions when dua is most readily answered: in sujood, in the Qunoot of Witr, and on completing the recitation of the Qur'an. Compiled by Shaykh Muhammad bin Abdul-Aziz Al-Musnad. Pocket paperback.

50 durable pocket-size cards carrying the authentic supplications after the obligatory prayers — each with Arabic text, English translation, the hadith reference, and a QR code for audio pronunciation. Published by Dar-us-Salam.

Salah in Islam was never designed as a purely private act, and the congregational form of it carries specific rulings most Muslims never study in depth — where it should be prayed, its legal status, and why attending the mosque itself carries its own virtue.

Praying five times a day and actually being present for it are two different things, and most Muslims eventually notice the gap between them. This book treats khushū’ as something that can be deliberately built, and sets out thirty-three concrete ways to build it.
