Description
The Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him said that salah is the part of our religion. He said "the head of the matter is Islam and its pillar is salah." Salah is the important thing we do to worship Allah. We do it five times a day. It is very good for Muslim children to learn how to pray
When children learn to pray it is a gift from their parents or teachers. There is a book that can help with this. The book is called All About Salah: A Childs Guide to Daily Prayers. It is published by Manarah Publishing. This book is for children who are six to twelve years old. It tells them everything they need to know about salah.
The book covers things, including:
* The Meaning and Importance of Salah: this part of the book teaches children why we pray. We do not just pray because we have to we pray because it is a way to talk to Allah. It is a way to feel peaceful and thankful.
* Conditions and Prerequisites: this part teaches children about taharah, wudu and the conditions for salah. It also teaches them about the five prayers and why we have to face the qiblah.
* Step-by-Step Guide to the Prayer: this part of the book teaches children how to pray. It explains what we say and do during salah.
* The Five Daily Prayers: this part teaches children about each of the five prayers. It tells them how rak'ahs each prayer has and what time of day we pray them.

The book also teaches children that salah is not something we do with our bodies. It is a way to connect with Allah. As children grow up their salah can become more meaningful.
The All About Salah is very important for all Muslim homes and schools. It is good, for children who're six to twelve years old.
