Islam | Learn to Pray in Arabic (Asr) - Word by Word & Follow Along Actions (For Beginners)

Asalam alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. I made this video as my attempt to support anyone who is very new to learning the prayer and struggling to learn each part using transliteration.

The idea is to play the video and practice the prayer by following along with the actions and movements as well as repeating the Arabic as we go along.

Personally, it took me years to become even slightly accurate in pronouncing all of the Arabic within the prayer.
There are some reverts that come to Islam via their own research and do not have access to a teacher or a local masjid and without that, it is very difficult to learn.

Disclaimers

1. If you have access to someone who can properly teach you how to pronounce the Arabic within the prayer, my advice is to learn from them and just use this tool to support you.

2. I advise that you watch my previous video first (Beginners Guide to Islam Part 4: Learning the Prayer | Al-Salah)

3. I am not an expert in the Arabic language, nor am I a qualified teacher (I am simply trying to provide a video that I would personally have found extremely useful in my early years of reverting to Islam)

4. I have purposely left out some Sunnah parts of the prayer, such as dua al istiftah and reciting more than Surah Al-Fatiha. If people find this video useful, I will release further videos to support with adding in some of the extra parts that are Sunnah.

A reminder of the conditions of the prayer
Intention
Facing the Qiblah (direction of prayer)
The timing (This is for the 5 obligatory prayers) (not for optional – although certain times when you don’t pray)
Covering the 'awrah (private area)
Male ‘awrah. This is the ‘awrah of one who has reached the age of ten and above, between the navel and the knee.
Female ‘awrah. This is the ‘awrah of an adult woman. All of her body is ‘awrah when praying, except for her hands and face. The scholars differed with regard to showing the feet.
Tahararah
Ghusl if you are in a state of major impurity and Wudu if you are in a state of minor impurity
No impurity (Najasa) on body, clothes or place or prayer
