My Lord is Allah

Allah is my Lord and the Lord of all things, the Possessor, the Creator, the Provider, the Disposer of everything
He alone is worthy of being worshiped
There is no lord or god other than Him

My Prophet the Prophet of mercy

Muhammad (pbuh), the Prophet of mercy He is Muhammad ibn ‘Abdullāh , the final Prophet and Messenger. Allah Almighty sent him with the religion of Islam to all humankind to guide them to all that is good, the greatest of which is monotheism; and to warn them against all that is evil, the worst of which is polytheism

The Noble Qur’an is the Word of my Lord

The noble Qur'an is the word of Allah Almighty which He revealed to His Prophet Muhammad (Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him) to bring mankind out of darkness into the light and guide them to the straight path. Whoever reads it earns a great reward, and whoever acts upon its guidance is on the true path.

I Recognize the Pillars of Islam

The Prophet (Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him) said: “Islam is built on five (pillars): the testimony that there is no god except Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, establishing prayer, giving Zakat, fasting the month of Ramadan, and pilgrimage to the (Sacred) House.”
The pillars of Islam are the outward acts of worship that every Muslim must both observe and believe to be an obligation; otherwise, his belief is not valid, as Islam is built on them. That is why they are called the pillars of Islam.

I Recognize the Pillars of Imān (faith/belief)

The pillars of Imān are the acts of worship of the heart that are required from every Muslim. In the absence of those pillars, the belief of a person is invalid, and it is for this reason that they are called the pillars of faith. The difference between the pillars of Imān and those of Islam is that the pillars of Islam are visible acts performed by the body parts, like Shahādah, prayer, and Zakah, while the pillars of Imān are acts of the heart, like belief in Allah, His Books, and His Messengers.

How to make Ablution

I learn Wudu’ (Minor Ablution) Allah Almighty says:{Indeed, Allah loves those who are constantly repentant and loves those who purify themselves.} [Ch. 2, Verse 222]
The Prophet (pbuh) said:“Perform ablution similar to my ablution.” Because of the immense status of Salah (prayer), Allah prescribed purification before it and made purification a condition for the validity of the prayer. It is the key to prayer (the first step towards performing it). The consciousness of its merit makes the heart long to perform prayer. The Prophet (Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him) said: "Purification is half of Imān… and prayer is light."
He (Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him) also said: "He who performs the Wudu’ perfectly, his sins come out from his body.”
So, a Muslim stands before his Lord in a state of physical purification through ablution and spiritual purification through performing this act of worship sincerely to Allah Almighty and in compliance with the guidance of the Prophet (Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him).

Wiping over Khuffs (leather socks and socks)

When a person wears socks or Khuffs, he may wipe over them during ablution, without washing the feet, with the following conditions:
1-Putting them on after entering a state of complete purification, with no minor or major impurity, and after washing his feet.
2-The socks or Khuffs should be pure, not touched by impurity.
3-The wiping should occur within the permissible time limit.
4-The socks or Khuffs should be lawfully earned, not stolen or seized by force.
Khuffs: are footwear made of thin leather; the same ruling applies to shoes that cover feet. Socks: are footwear made of fabric and the like. Wiping over Khuffs (leather socks) and socks

Ghusl (Ritual Bath)

If a man or a woman had sexual intercourse or ejaculated semen with lust while being awake or asleep, they must make Ghusl (take a ritual bath) to perform prayer or any worship that requires purification. Also, the woman must make Ghusl at the end of her menstrual period or postpartum period before she can perform prayer or any worship that requires purification.

Tayammum (Dry Purification)

If the Muslim cannot find water to use for purification, or if he is unable to use water because of an illness or the like, and he fears that he might miss performing the prayer on time, then he may make Tayammum with sand or dust.

I Learn How To Pray

Allah ordained upon the Muslim five prayers in the day and night; they are Fajr (dawn) prayer, Dhuhr (noon) prayer, ‘Asr (afternoon) prayer, Maghrib (sunset) prayer, and 'Isha’ (night) prayer.
I Prepare Myself for Prayer. When the time of prayer starts, the Muslim purifies himself from the state of minor impurity, and major impurity if he is in a state of major impurity.
Major impurity is what requires Ghusl (ritual bath).
Minor impurity is what requires Wudu’ (ablution).
The Muslim prays in a clean place free of impurities, wearing clean clothes that conceal his ‘Awra (body parts that must be covered during prayer).
A Muslim wears proper clothing which covers his body in prayer. A man is not allowed to pray with the area between his navel and knees uncovered.
The woman must cover her whole body in prayer except for her face and hands.
While performing Salah, the Muslim only says the words relevant to Salah, he listens to the Imam (the person leading the congregational prayer), and he does not turn left or right in Salah. If he is unable to memorize the words of Salah, he should mention Allah and glorify Him (by saying 'Subhān Allah') until the prayer ends. He is required to hasten to learn Salah and its words.

Learn Surah Al-Fatiha (Pronunciation Of The Letters)

How to correctly pronounce Al-Fatiha , the first surah of the Holy Qur'an.

Hijāb of the Muslim Woman

Allah has commanded the Muslim woman to wear the Hijāb and conceal her ‘Awrah and her body by the traditional outfits available in her country in the presence of the men who are not directly related to her. She is not allowed to take off her Hijāb except before her husband and her Mahram males, who are the men she is permanently forbidden to marry. The Mahram males are the following: The father up to all levels (i.e. grandfather, great grandfather, etc.), the son down to all levels, paternal uncles, maternal uncles, brother, nephew, stepfather, father-in-law up to all levels, stepson down to all levels, milk-brother and the husband of the nursing mother, given that whoever becomes non-marriageable through lineage also becomes non-marriageable through breast-feeding.

Some Characteristics of the Believer

Allah Almighty says:{The believers are only those who, when Allah is mentioned, their hearts become fearful, and when His verses are recited to them, it increases them in faith; and upon their Lord, they rely.} [Ch. 8, Verse 2]

My Happiness Lies in My Religion

One of the most important things that brings joy and comfort to the #Muslim’s heart is his direct connection to his Lord without a mediator from the living or the dead or the idols. Allah (SWT) said in the Qur’an that He is always near to us to hear and answer our Duā (supplication). Allah says: {And when My servants ask you, [O Muhammad], concerning Me - indeed I am near. I respond to the invocation of the supplicant when he calls upon Me. So let them respond to Me, and believe in Me so that they may be rightly guided.} [Ch. 2, Verse 186].

New Muslim Guideline

Praise be to Allah, Whom we praise and from Whom we ask help and forgiveness. We seek refuge in Allah from the evils of ourselves and from our bad deeds. He whom Allah guides no one can lead him astray, and he whom Allah leads astray no one can guide him. I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and messenger.
