Online Namaz classes help children, new Muslims and adults learn to pray correctly, with understanding. Salah is the first thing a person will be asked about on the Day of Judgement and the daily link between a believer and Allah. Our one-on-one course teaches the complete method of prayer step by step, along with the daily duas and the good manners that turn knowledge into a way of life.
Why learn Salah with a teacher?
Most children pick up prayer by copying their parents, which is a beautiful beginning. A teacher adds what copying alone can miss: the correct wording of each recitation, the conditions that make a prayer valid, what to do when a mistake is made, and the meaning behind every action. For new Muslims, and for adults who were never properly taught, a patient teacher removes the anxiety of not knowing whether they are praying correctly.
The Prophet ﷺ said, "Pray as you have seen me praying" (Sahih al-Bukhari). Salah has always been taught by demonstration, and a live video lesson allows exactly that.
What the course covers
Purification and wudu
- Cleanliness of body, clothes and place.
- Wudu step by step, with the Sunnah actions and the dua after wudu.
- What breaks wudu.
- Tayammum and Ghusl, introduced at an age-appropriate level.
The method of Salah

- The words of prayer: Takbir, Thana, Ta'awwudh, Surah al-Fatihah, a short surah, the Tasbih of Ruku and Sujood, Tashahhud, Durood Ibrahim and the final dua.
- Praying two, three and four rak'ahs.
- Witr, Sunnah prayers, Jumu'ah and Eid prayers.
- Common mistakes and how to correct them, including the prostration of forgetfulness.
Short surahs for prayer
Students memorise at least the last ten surahs of the Quran with correct pronunciation, so that they have variety in their prayer. Those studying Noorani Qaida or Quran reading memorise more as they progress.
Daily duas
Children learn the supplications of everyday life, each with its meaning:
| Occasion | Examples |
|---|---|
| Daily routine | Waking up, before sleeping, entering and leaving the bathroom |
| Food and drink | Before eating, after eating, when drinking milk |
| Home and travel | Entering and leaving the home, boarding a vehicle |
| Worship | After the Adhan, entering and leaving the mosque, after Salah |
| Feelings and needs | When sneezing, in difficulty, for parents, for knowledge |
Islamic manners (Adab)
- Greeting with Salam and replying.
- Respect and kindness to parents, teachers and elders.
- Truthfulness, keeping promises and saying sorry.
- Manners of eating, speaking, visiting and the mosque.
- Kindness to brothers, sisters, neighbours and animals.
How we teach
- Demonstration. The teacher shows each action on camera and the student copies, exactly as prayer has always been taught.
- Listen and repeat. Words are learned phrase by phrase with correct pronunciation, then joined together.
- Meaning first. Children are told what each phrase means before memorising it.
- Practice prayer. The student performs a full prayer aloud while the teacher watches and gently corrects.
- Charts and trackers. A simple prayer chart helps children build the habit and gives parents something to praise.
Lessons are short and encouraging. The aim is a child who prays because they want to, not because they are told to.
For new Muslims and adults
If you have recently embraced Islam, welcome. Learning to pray is your first priority, and it does not need to feel overwhelming. Your teacher will start with what is essential, use transliteration until you can read Arabic, and build up to the complete prayer at a pace that suits you. Adults who have prayed for years but have doubts about their method or pronunciation are equally welcome. Lessons are private and judgement-free.
Helping your child love Salah
- Pray together. A child who prays beside a parent rarely needs to be told.
- Give your child their own prayer mat and, for girls, a prayer garment they like.
- Praise effort. Avoid criticism during or immediately after prayer.
- Start with one or two prayers a day and build up before the age of seven.
- Use the duas you are learning together as a family, at meals and bedtime.
Where this course leads
This course sits well alongside Islamic Studies for Kids, which covers beliefs, Seerah and stories of the prophets, and alongside Quran reading. Many families run all three in one weekly timetable with the same teacher.
