Foundations of Worship: Mastering the Basics of Salah

[ONLY FOR SISTERS] Your journey with Allah begins here. Foundations of Worship is a welcoming class designed specifically for new Muslims sisters who want to learn, strengthen, and perfect their prayer—Salah, the second pillar of Islam.

In this supportive class, you’ll learn how to confidently perform each part of the prayer: from the physical movements to memorizing the essentials of the prayer like Surah Al-Fatiha, the Tashahhud, and the integral dhikrs of the prayer—with proper Tajweed and pronunciation. Whether you’re just starting or looking to ensure your prayer is correct and meaningful, this class will walk you through it all, with patience, repetition, and encouragement. No prior knowledge is required—just bring your heart and a desire to connect with your Lord. This is not just learning how to pray—it’s learning how to stand before Allah with presence, love, and sincerity.
