Everyday Muslim · Learn to pray
Learn to pray salah, with a clear place to start.
Use Islam 101 in Everyday Muslim to explore the daily prayers, illustrated movements and recitation audio. Return to the parts you want to practice at your own pace.
- Illustrated prayer steps
- Recitation audio
- Five daily prayers
Start with the lesson you need
Open Islam 101 and use its Basics and prayer sections to find a starting point. The app separates the five daily prayers so you can look at the units and sequence for the prayer you are learning.
A useful first session might be understanding one prayer’s structure rather than attempting to learn everything at once. Keep questions for a knowledgeable teacher or your local mosque as you go.
Follow movements and recitations together
The illustrated steps help connect a movement with the text recited at that point. Audio controls let you listen and repeat while studying. Reading, listening and practicing can each support a different part of learning.
The lesson’s visual and color cues are teaching aids. They do not assess your performance or replace personal instruction on pronunciation, posture or details of practice.
Put learning into your daily routine
Once you are ready to practice, use the prayer timetable to plan for the next prayer. Set a reminder that works on your phone and keep the lesson accessible for review.
The prayer tracker can help you record your routine over time. Its record is your own log, not a judgment about the validity of a prayer.
Build a prayer tracking routineAsk about details that differ
There are differences in prayer practice between schools and communities. Follow the guidance you trust, and ask a qualified teacher about a detail that is unclear or differs from what you have learned.
This page introduces the app’s lessons. It does not attempt to settle those differences or provide a ruling for an individual situation.
