Prayer is learned by watching. A child copies what the adults around him do, correctly or otherwise, and by the time anyone checks he has been doing it that way for years.
This book puts the correct form in front of him where it can be checked.
What Makes the Illustrations Matter
Each posture is drawn showing the correct movement and position — where the hands go, how the back sits in ruku', what sujud actually looks like. Written instructions for a physical action defeat a child; a picture does not.
Every Recitation, Three Ways
Each supplication and surah is given in Arabic, in transliteration, and in English translation. A child pronounces it correctly before he can read the script, and understands it while he is learning it — rather than reciting sounds for several years and meeting the meaning later.
The essential Qur'anic verses and relevant ahadith are included, along with the optional du'a before, during and after the prayer.
Who It Is For
Children learning to pray. Adults new to Islam, for whom this is often the clearest guide available in any format. Parents teaching, and weekend schools. Endorsed by Al-Jumu'ah Magazine.
