Learn your faith in pictures, one step at a time
Four illustrated lessons: the Shahada and the pillars, wudu, the prayer, and character. Every step comes with a picture, the words in Arabic with transliteration and meaning, and its evidence from the Qur’an or from Sahih al-Bukhari and Muslim — linked to the original text.
Where should I start?
For children
Starts with wudu because it is physical and can be tried straight away, then prayer, then manners — with the essentials at the end as a recap.
New to Islam
Starts with the essentials and the Shahada, then purification, then the prayer — the first act you will be asked about — then character.
Purification
How to Make Wudu
Ten illustrated steps, following the Prophet’s ﷺ ablution as described by ‘Uthman ibn ‘Affan — with the evidence beside every step.
