Learn to Pray Correctly, Step by Step
Salah (prayer) is one of the five pillars of Islam, yet many students, both children and converts to Islam, never receive structured, one-on-one instruction in how to perform it correctly. Our Online Prayer (Namaz) Classes teach the movements, recitations, and meaning of Salah in a clear, step-by-step way, with direct correction from a qualified teacher.
Who This Course Is For
This course is designed for children learning to pray for the first time, adults who never received formal instruction growing up, and new Muslims who need a complete introduction to Salah from the very beginning, including wudu (ablution) before prayer.
What You Will Learn
- How to perform Wudu correctly before prayer
- The physical movements of Salah in the correct order, from Takbir to Tasleem
- The Quranic Surahs and Duas recited during each part of the prayer, with correct pronunciation
- The meaning behind each part of the prayer, so it becomes a mindful act of worship rather than memorized motion
- Common mistakes to avoid and how to fix them
How Classes Are Taught
Because Salah involves physical movement as well as recitation, classes are conducted over live video so your teacher can watch and correct your positions in real time, not just listen to recitation. Beginners typically start with the basics of one prayer and build up gradually, rather than trying to learn everything at once.
Especially Helpful for New Muslims
For new Muslims, learning to pray correctly can feel overwhelming without guidance. Our teachers are experienced in teaching Salah from the very beginning, explaining each step patiently and answering questions about why each part of the prayer is performed the way it is.

What This Course Covers
This course teaches the complete practice of Salah (prayer), including how to perform Wudu (ritual purification) correctly, the physical movements and positions of prayer, the correct Arabic recitations required at each stage, and the timing and conditions for each of the five daily prayers. Lessons are structured to take a student from having little or no knowledge of prayer to being able to perform Salah confidently and correctly on their own.
Who This Course Is For
This course is especially popular among new Muslims who need to learn prayer from the very beginning, children old enough to start learning Salah for the first time, and anyone who wants to review and correct their existing prayer practice with a certified tutor, since small mistakes in movements or recitation often go unnoticed for years without direct correction.
How Lessons Are Structured
Early lessons focus on Wudu and the basic structure of a single unit (rakah) of prayer, including correct standing, bowing, and prostration positions alongside the required recitations. As students build confidence, lessons progress to the full structure of each of the five daily prayers, including any variations in the number of units required. Tutors use screen-sharing and clear visual demonstration alongside verbal instruction to make each movement and position easy to follow and replicate.
Correcting Common Prayer Mistakes
Many self-taught individuals develop small, unnoticed errors in either the physical movements or the recitations of prayer, often carried for years without correction. A tutor observing your prayer in real time, whether performed on camera or described and demonstrated, can identify subtle errors such as incorrect hand positioning, rushed recitation, or missed steps, and correct them directly rather than leaving them to persist indefinitely.
Learning the Meaning Behind the Prayer
Beyond the mechanics of movement and recitation, this course also introduces the meaning and significance behind key parts of the prayer, helping students connect more deeply with what they are reciting and doing rather than simply performing memorized motions.

Understanding the Five Daily Prayers
Each of the five daily prayers, Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha, has its own specific timing window and number of required units, and this course walks through the practical differences between them so students understand not only how to perform a single prayer but how the five prayers fit together across a full day. Understanding prayer timing is often just as confusing for new learners as the movements themselves, so tutors dedicate specific attention to this practical scheduling knowledge.
Learning to Pray in Congregation vs. Individually
While the core structure of prayer remains the same, there are some practical differences in following an imam during congregational prayer compared to praying individually. For students who plan to attend mosque prayers or lead family prayers at home, tutors cover these practical differences so students feel confident and comfortable in either setting.
Common Questions New Muslims Have About Prayer
New Muslims often have practical questions beyond the basic movements, such as what to do if they miss a prayer, how to handle prayer while traveling, or how to combine prayers under specific circumstances. Our tutors are experienced in addressing these real-world questions directly, ensuring students leave with practical confidence, not just theoretical knowledge of the prayer's structure.
Ongoing Practice and Review
Even after completing the core course content, many students continue with periodic review sessions to maintain accuracy and confidence, since, like any physical practice, prayer movements and recitation benefit from occasional outside verification even after the initial learning period is complete.
Teaching Prayer to Children vs. Adults
Children typically learn prayer through short, repeated demonstration and playful practice, gradually building up to a full prayer over several lessons, while adult students, particularly new Muslims, often prefer a more structured, explanation-heavy approach that clarifies the reasoning behind each step alongside the physical practice. Tutors adjust their teaching style accordingly for each type of student.
Using Screen-Sharing for Accurate Movement Correction
Since prayer involves specific physical positions, our online format uses camera and screen-sharing tools so tutors can directly observe a student's movements and provide immediate, specific correction, similar to how an in-person lesson would work, rather than relying on verbal description alone.
Preparing for Independent Prayer
The ultimate goal of this course is full independence, where a student can confidently perform all five daily prayers correctly without needing ongoing guidance. Tutors gradually reduce the level of support provided as a student demonstrates consistent accuracy, ensuring the skills learned are genuinely internalized rather than dependent on constant correction.
Addressing Special Circumstances
Lessons also cover special circumstances such as praying while traveling, praying while unwell, and other situations where standard prayer practice needs adjustment, ensuring students are prepared for real-life situations beyond the standard classroom scenario.
Why This Course Uses One-on-One Rather Than Group Format
Prayer instruction depends heavily on precise physical correction tailored to each individual, since minor positioning or recitation errors vary from person to person. A one-on-one format allows the tutor to give focused, personalized attention throughout, rather than dividing correction time across multiple students with different needs and starting points in a group setting.
Helping Families Build a Shared Prayer Routine
For families learning together, tutors can also offer guidance on building a consistent household prayer routine, including how parents can support younger children's prayer practice at home between formal lessons, helping the whole family establish and maintain a strong, shared habit of prayer.
Learning to pray correctly is one of the most foundational and immediately practical parts of a Muslim's daily life, and our tutors take genuine pride in helping students of every age reach real, lasting confidence in this essential act of worship.
