How we check every guide

  • Quran: every Quranic dua and example is taken from the Tanzil Quran text, word for word; English meanings are based on Kanz-ul-Iman.
  • Hadith: each one is quoted with its collection and number; gradings are the classical ones, such as Imam Tirmidhi’s own verdict.
  • Hanafi rulings: taken from Dawat-e-Islami’s books and the Hanafi books they cite (Method of Salah, Laws of Salah, Bahar-e-Shariat, Faizan-e-Tajweed), with the page number wherever the book has one.
  • A sources list on every page: each guide ends with the full list of the books and hadith it uses.

Frequently asked questions

Are these guides free?

Yes. Every guide is free to read, print and share with your family.

Which method do the Salah guides follow?

The Hanafi method, as taught in Dawat-e-Islami’s books such as Method of Salah, Laws of Salah and Bahar-e-Shariat. Each step gives the book and page.

Where do the duas and hadith come from?

Quranic duas use the Tanzil Quran text, with an English meaning based on Kanz-ul-Iman by Imam Ahmad Raza Khan. Every hadith is given with its collection and number, such as Sahih al-Bukhari 6306, and where a grading is shown it is the classical one, such as Imam Tirmidhi’s own verdict.

Can children use these guides?

Yes. They are written in simple English with transliteration. For younger children, start with the daily duas for kids and the Six Kalimas.

Can my child learn this with a teacher?

Yes. Our one-to-one Islamic studies classes cover Salah, duas and the kalimas, and our Tajweed course covers every rule. The first three classes are free.
