Salah Unlocked: Fiqh of Salah

poster of islamic event of salah and prayer

Introduction

Salah is such a beloved act of worship to Allah that it is worth more than the world and whatever it contains. One of the key benefits of Salah is that it cleanses the ego and purifies it. It also enables the servant to communicate with Allah within this world, and gain proximity to Him in the hereafter. 5 precious moments of our day are spent connecting with Allah. It will be the first question we are asked about on the Day of Judgment. Why then do we spend so little time understanding, studying and perfecting our Salah? This course is here to change that…

This course aims to uncover all the foundational knowledge one must know about Salah. We will delve into topics that give you the confidence to understand salah at a much deeper level and not the surface level knowledge we have today… And what better way to get close to Allah than to put ourselves in a position where we develop ourselves to pray as if we see Allah…
