3. Learn to Pray Salah
How to Perform Wudu
Muslim Hands – How to Perform Wudu
Here is step-by-step explanation and is specifically designed to make the process easy to follow.
How to Pray Salah
Muslim Hands – How to Perform Salah
This is a straightforward beginner’s guide to Salah. Note that the guide identifies its rulings as being according to the Hanafi school, so I’d label it simply as a Salah guide rather than implying it represents every school of fiqh.
Prayer Guides
For this one, I’d actually use NewMuslims.com, because it has structured lessons specifically for beginners, including prayer and ablution.
Prayer & Beginner Guides — NewMuslims.com
4. Resouces for New Muslims
This is where I think NewMuslims.com is particularly useful. It has a structured learning path starting with the testimony of faith, the Five Pillars, basic beliefs, questions from new converts, prayer, Wudu, and community involvement.
