How do children learn to pray?
The games are hands-on. Children help Kamal the Kangaroo, Safa and Sami wake up for Fajr, make wudu, find their prayer clothes and mat, and work out the Qibla. Then they remind each of them of the movements of the prayer: standing, bowing, prostrating and sitting, in order.
The songs and videos keep it in the ear. Dada teaches Zayd the names and times of the five prayers, a sing-along goes through wudu step by step, and a short khutbah for older children explains why we pray on time and do not rush.
The stories give the reasons. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ brings the five daily prayers back from the Night Journey, a zebra asks his jungle friends what prayer gives them, and a family on a farm stops whatever it is doing when the time for each prayer comes.
Each title's page lists the lessons it covers and questions for afterwards. A game or a song just before prayer time can be a gentle way to invite a child to stand and pray beside you.
Key lessons children take from these stories, games, audiobooks and videos
- Allah gave us hands and feet so we can touch, play, eat and walk.
- Allah took the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ from Makkah to Jerusalem and up to the heavens in one night.
- Shaytan whispers bad ideas, but we do not have to follow them.
- Allah is Al-Hameed: all praise belongs to Him.
- Allah is Al-Ghaffar: He forgives our mistakes and covers them.
- Allah is Al-Aleem: He knows everything, even our thoughts.

Frequently asked questions
How can I teach my child the five daily prayers?
Start with the names and times, Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha, then wudu and the movements. The games here let a young child practise getting ready for Fajr and the order of the movements before praying with you.
How do I teach my child to make wudu?
Go through it in order. Say Bismillah, wash the hands, mouth, nose, face and arms, wipe the head and ears, then wash the feet; most parts are washed three times. The wudu song and games here show each step.
Why do Muslims pray five times a day?
Salah is one of the five pillars of Islam. Allah gave the five daily prayers to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ on the Night Journey, and they keep a Muslim close to Allah through the day.
