How to recite Surah Al-Fatihah fluently - WORD BY WORD

Support the channel:
/ thinkrevert
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.
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 video to support you.
2. I advise that you watch my previous video first (Beginners Guide to Islam Part 4: Learning the Prayer | Al-Salah)
• Beginners Guide to Isl...
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)
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

Asalamu alaykum, I mention in this video that there is a video for how to say the opening dua before reciting, that should be uploaded in the next few days insha Allah.

Asa Brother. I am a revert single Mom. I reverted while still married to my non-muslim husband. I struggle with teaching my kids about the deen due to the fact that I am still learning myself & I co-parent with their Dad, so I only have them half the time. Plus, I work, too. So, it is difficult for them to go to the Masjid. Alhamdulilah, Allah is merciful as my kids identify with being Muslim. I try to take them to the Masjid every chance I get. This Ramadan, my goal is to teach them how to make salat on their own, ISA. Your channel will help me with that, ISA.

Wa alaykumu salaam, may Allah grant you ease and help you in your situation 🤲🏻

I'm learning as well and I would love to have a muslima to learn and grow with Mash Allah

Ramadan mubarak!

[@MiekaFastingWeightLoss]

Asalamu alaikum I reverted 16 years ago and I was married with children. He didn’t convert. The children will learn to adjust and May Allah keep them on the path of Islam

[@BG-iz1wv]

I'm a Muslim revert as well as a single mom and I completely understand your situation. What I do, is ensure my child watches Islamic or Arabic cartoons so he can learn about Islam and the Arabic language. In the car, we listen to Islamic songs/nasheeds. Every chance I get, I point out the beauty in Allah's creation and use life lessons to teach about Islam. I'm still learning, too, and I'm not a native Arabic speaker. But I make sure I and my child consume Islamic things as we both learn together. Hang in there and ask Allah for guidance, and InshaAllah, He'll make it easier for you. My ex is also non religious, so I ensure that my child doesn't tell him about what we do in our home since he has issues being an abusive narcissist. We keep things to ourselves and practice and learn the religion on our own. It's what bonds us together, and he enjoys it, alhamdulillah. May Allah bless you and your children, sister.

How can I pray when I am just learning a sura like Al fathia and my pronunciation is now as it should be yet and I am learning too how should I properly pray , the number of rakas etc ?

Gracias por esta enseñanza .

[@imaatje1]

Brother may Allah reward you for all you efforts. My 2 cents here, it is pronounced dua al istiftaa7 at the end you need to say the ح. When you pronounced it you said h ه at the end. May Allah make us and you steadfast on His deen and increase us in beneficial knowledge. Salaam from Amsterdam

[@thinkrevert]

Wa alaykumu salaam, yeah you’re right. جزاك الله خيرا

[@freerunopa]

shukran l video. ana mn hollanda. I speak E nglish and a little bit darija Moroccon Arab, now more Arab , 'cause of the Quran. I pronounced the first time, 5 years ago in a Dutch way, Hollandse manier, After a few years i talk better Arab, and now I am at the point to pronounce it exactly how it suppose to. It's getting easier the letter h, and gh and kh; now also arrah, bismillah, not bis, but biis Chokran bzef (shukran bzaf)

[@dogtraining8079]

Peace be upon you. If I may suggest, Inshallah, please adjust your head covering the English translation. Thank you, Akhi

[@mindigest]

Thank you for this tutorial, this video actually sparked an interest and curiosity to maybe start learning Quran in Arabic, the pronunciation is so uniquely awesome. However, I find it hard to accommodate the salah in my work schedule though, nonetheless I can start by reading the Quran.

[@KC_604]

Are you gonna make another video reciting the rest of the prayer cuz I struggle with the part that comes after

[@thinkrevert]

Yes Insha Allah, what part is it you struggle with the most?

[@KC_604]

I’m just working on memorizing and pronouncing Surah Al asr and Attahiyat dua i believe it’s called but its the part where it starts with AttaHeyyaatu lillahi Wa-SSalawatu. So do you think you’ll release a video of you doing the whole prayer (4 rakaats preferably) ? That would be much greatly appreciated if your able to brother

[@thinkrevert]

@@KC_604 yes Insha Allah I can do that, I’ll try to do it after Ramadan as soon as possible

[@thinkrevert]

Did you see this playlist?: kzbin.info/aero/PLMpZpT9IRpADy_rVMaihyXfjlVKshd6Jr Some of it probably won’t make sense. But it is still going through each verse slowly. It may help for now until I make the videos you’re asking about

[@zacharyswain7034]

does one sing it in the way you do in their head when doing it silently? and does one sing it that way out loud or just say?

[@charityshalom6462]

Asalamu alaykum, I'm trying to learn how to pray using your channel since I don't have anyone to teach me. Insha Allah its moving ok not fast but I'm patient
