Your first steps as a Muslim
Learn to pray (Salah)
The five daily prayers are the heart of a Muslim's day. Learn the wudu (ablution) and the prayer movements step by step.
Start with the Qur'an
Begin learning the short surahs and the meaning of what you recite. A teacher will help you read the Arabic.
Join your nearest mosque
Community is a gift. Visit the nearest mosque or Islamic school to pray, ask questions, and find brothers and sisters.
Take it one day at a time
You do not need to learn everything at once. Allah is Most Merciful — sincerity and small consistent steps are what matter.
Duas to begin with
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Rahim
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
رَبِّ زِدْنِي عِلْمًا
Rabbi zidni 'ilma
My Lord, increase me in knowledge.
