Salah is obligatory upon every Muslim — five times each day, from Fajr before sunrise to Isha after nightfall. Our teachers ensure you can perform every prayer correctly with full confidence. Pair Salah learning with our online Quran lessons to also master the recitations used in prayer.
Combine Salah learning with:
Our teachers walk you through every position, every recitation and every Dua of the prayer — ensuring you perform each Rakat in the best manner, with correct pronunciation, from Takbeer to Salaam. To also recite the Surahs beautifully, explore our learn Tajweed online programme.
Before beginning, make your intention in your heart to perform Salah for the sake of Allah. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: "Actions are judged by intentions." Your intention does not need to be spoken aloud.
Standing positionRaise both hands to shoulder level and say "Allahu Akbar" — Allah is the Greatest. This opening Takbeer marks the formal beginning of the prayer. You are now in the standing position, facing the Qibla direction.
Standing uprightRecite Subhanaka (the opening supplication), then seek refuge from Shaytaan and recite Surah Al-Fatiha — the first chapter and opening chapter of the Holy Quran, known as the prayer's backbone. Master your recitation with our online Quran lessons.
Standing positionSay Allahu Akbar and bow at the waist into the Ruku position. In the bowing position, recite "Subhana Rabbiyal Azeem" (Glory be to my Lord, the Most Great) three times, praising Allah.
Bowing positionGo down into Sujood (prostration) saying Allahu Akbar. Place your forehead, nose, both palms, both knees and both feet on the ground. Recite "Subhana Rabbiyal A'la" (Glory be to my Lord, the Most High) three times.
ProstrationAfter the final Rakat, sit in the sitting position and recite At-Tashahhud, then Durood Ibrahim. Raise your right index finger during the Shahadah. Complete with Salaam to the right and left. To memorise these Duas more deeply, see our Hifz course.
Sitting positionLearning to perform Salah correctly goes beyond memorising the basic steps. Our qualified teachers ensure you understand the meaning of what you recite, the correct positions, the Sunnah of the prayer, and the Duas that bring you closer to Allah. Each class is one-to-one — so no question goes unanswered. Also see our full Namaz prayer online course and Islamic Studies online for broader Islamic knowledge.
The correct method of performing Wudu step by step — a prerequisite for every prayer. Your teacher ensures you understand each step and the Duas recited throughout.
Understanding the Qibla direction, how to stand correctly, and the intention (Niyyah) that opens the prayer. The spiritual and physical preparation for Salah.
Surah Al-Fatiha (the opening chapter), short surahs for the second Rakat, and all the Duas of the prayer — recited with correct pronunciation. Improve your recitation further with our online Tajweed class.
Every prayer has a different number of Rakats — Fardh, Sunnah and Witr. Your teacher explains which Rakats are obligatory prayers, which are Sunnah, and how to perform each correctly. For children, see our Quran for Kids programme which covers Salah alongside Quran reading.
Salah is the pillar of the religion. It is the first thing we will be asked about on the Day of Judgement. Our mission is to ensure every Muslim can stand before Allah in prayer with complete confidence, correct recitation and a heart full of gratitude and worship.
Every prayer includes specific recitations from the Holy Quran. Our teachers ensure you can recite Surah Al-Fatiha and short Surahs with correct pronunciation and proper Tajweed rules — so your prayer is beautiful in the sight of Allah. Master the Quran further with our Quran course for all ages.
"I had been a Muslim all my life but was never taught how to pray Salah correctly. My teacher here went through every step — the positions, the recitations, the Duas — with such patience and care. I can now perform all five daily prayers with full confidence. The inner peace it has brought to my daily life is indescribable. Alhamdulillah."
"My daughter is 7 and I wanted her to learn how to pray Salah step by step with correct pronunciation from the very beginning. Our teacher made every lesson engaging and she now recites Surah Al-Fatiha beautifully and knows how many Rakats are in each prayer. The one-to-one lessons are invaluable. Jazak Allah."
"I reverted to Islam recently and had no idea how to perform Salah. The step-by-step guide my teacher used was perfect for a complete beginner. Every position, every recitation, every Dua — explained clearly and repeated patiently. Now I perform all five obligatory prayers daily. May Allah bless the teachers here."
