Salah & Worship

Every day, five times a day, the call to prayer rises over our towns and cities — and every day, believers face a quiet choice: pray where they are, or walk to the mosque and stand shoulder to shoulder with their brothers. The Quran and the authentic Sunnah describe that short walk and that shared…

Of all the prayers in a Muslim’s day, Fajr is the one prayed when the world is still dark and most people are asleep. It is also the prayer that the Quran and the authentic Sunnah single out with remarkable promises. The angels of the night and the angels of the day meet at it….

Every Muslim wants to pray the way the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ prayed. That wish is not left to guesswork, because the Prophet ﷺ himself made his own prayer the standard for everyone who came after him.
