  • Strengthening your connection with Allah.
  • Fostering discipline and mindfulness in daily life.
  • Enhancing your moral character through regular practice.

Step 2: Performing Wudhu Correctly

• Preparation for Salah starts with Wudhu (ablution):

Tip: Ensure that water reaches every part of the body being washed, and avoid wasting water.

Step 3: Learning the Rakat Structure

• Understand the components of a Rakat (unit of prayer):
  1. Niyyah (Intention): Formulate the intention silently in your heart.
  2. Takbiratul Ihram: Raise your hands and say "Allahu Akbar" to begin the prayer.
  3. Standing (Qiyam): Recite Surah Al-Fatiha followed by another Surah.
  4. Bowing (Ruku): Bend at the waist, keeping your back straight, and say "Subhana Rabbiyal Adheem."
  5. Standing Again (I'tidal): Stand upright and say "Sami' Allahu liman Hamidah, Rabbana lakal hamd."
  6. Prostration (Sujud): Go to the ground and say "Subhana Rabbiyal A'la."
  7. Sitting (Jalsa): Sit and say "Rabbighfir li."
  8. Second Prostration: Repeat the prostration.
  9. Ending the Prayer (Tashahhud): After the last Rakat, sit and recite the Tashahhud and conclude with Tasleem (saying "Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullah" to both sides).

Step 4: Memorizing Key Prayers and Actions
