Books on prayer

Prayer is part of every Muslim's daily routine. It is so important that, according to some scholars, its neglect constitutes an act of disbelief. So it's up to believers to perform it properly. We've put together a selection of books on prayer to show you how.

Teaching children how to pray

The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, instructed his faithful companions to teach children to pray from the age of seven. The idea is for them to familiarize themselves with it gradually, since it only becomes compulsory at the age of 10.

At My Qamis, we offer a wide selection of prayer books for your children. It's not enough to force them to pray, you have to give them the instruction that goes with it. Indeed, the validity of an act of worship towards Allah rests on two conditions: sincerity and following the Sunnah.

For example, there are books suitable for younger children that will help them discover how to pray. Your daughter can turn her nose up at La prière avec Assia. Your son can also learn how to perform salât with La prière avec Anas. Both books provide explanations tailored to a young audience, with illustrations for maximum clarity. Adults can even consult them! In any case, there's nothing to stop them.

Prayer books for beginners

If you've just converted to Islam, don't panic! We have a wide selection of books that describe the Prophet ﷺ's prayer in detail. The ultimate guide to praying as Allah's messenger did.

You know, every prayer has its time. It's a bit like an appointment with Allah. And the hour of entry is one of the conditions of the prayer, for there are nine of them. Take the time to learn them and put them into practice by studying everything there is to know about salât in the books on prayer.

If you're ill or traveling, Islam has everything covered. Indeed, Allah shows mercy to His servants in His legislation. But we must make the necessary effort to know how to pray in such cases.

Of course, the importance of meditation in salât cannot be stressed enough. This act, so beloved by Allah, is not simply a matter of adding gestures and words together. Each of them has a profound meaning that tends to bring us closer to our Creator.

There are even special prayers, such as the Friday prayer or the night prayer. Jurisconsults have written numerous works to clarify their status and how they should be performed.

How to perform salât without science?

In fact, books on prayer enable you to acquire a science that Allah has made obligatory. Indeed, we must master the rules relating to the acts He has made obligatory. This pillar of Islam cannot be performed as it should without knowledge.

The books in this category will help you understand, improve and, above all, feel the beauty of this moment. Whatever your level of knowledge, there's always something to learn. As Imam Ahmed used to say, the search for science begins in the cradle and extends to the grave.
