Salah Workshop

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: Indeed the first deed by which a servant will be called to account on the Day of Resurrection is his Salat. If it is complete, he is successful and saved, but if it is defective, he has failed and lost… Jami` at-Tirmidhi 413 "The Prophet was asked: 'Which deed is the best?' So he said: 'Salat in the beginning of its time.'" Jami` at-Tirmidhi 170 The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "The key to Paradise is Salat, and the key to Salat is Wudu'." Grade: Hasan (Darussalam) Jami` at-Tirmidhi 4 In Quran, Allah says: Successful indeed are the believers: those who humble themselves in prayer; (Quran, 23:1-2) Salah Workshop: Perfecting Our Fundamentals As parents and community members, one of the most important gifts we can give our children is a strong connection to Salah. Prayer is not just something our children need to “learn how to do” — it is the foundation of their relationship with Allah, their identity as Muslims, and their success in this life and the next. It is a pillar of our Deen and thus it is important to instill the foundation of Salah early with our kids. AlFatiha Center and Hamd Institute is offering a very popular and needed workshop for Pearland: Salah Workshop designed to help our youth strengthen and perfect the fundamentals of prayer in a structured and engaging way. This workshop is for: Level 2: Ages 8–12 Level 3: Ages 13–18 Children will learn the importance of Salah, the basics/fiqh of Salah, how to improve their prayer, and how to build a stronger understanding of this essential pillar of Islam.
