| how to pray in islam for beginners: Islam in a Zongo Benedikt Pontzen, 2021-01-07 Zongos, wards in West Africa populated by traders and migrants from the northern savannahs and the Sahel, are a common sight in Ghana's Asante region where the people of these wards represent a dual-minority as both foreigners and Muslims in a largely Christian area, facing marginalisation as a result. Islam provides the people of the zongos with a common ground and shared values, becoming central to their identity and to their shared sense of community. This detailed account of Islamic lifeworlds highlights the irreducible diversity and complexity of 'everyday' lived religion among Muslims in a zongo community. Benedikt Pontzen traces the history of Muslim presence in the region and analyses three Islamic phenomena encountered in its zongos in detail: Islamic prayer practices, the authorisation of Islamic knowledge, and ardently contested divination and healing practices. Drawing on empirical and archival research, oral histories, and academic studies, he demonstrates how Islam is inextricably bound up with the diverse ways in which Muslims live it. |

| how to pray in islam for beginners: Brief Explanation of the Words of Salah Rameez Abid, 2020-07-22 The five daily prayers are a fundamental part of Islamic lifestyle. It is one of the five pillars of Islam. However, the sad reality is that most Muslims do not understand what they are saying in Arabic to their Lord. This leads to their daily prayers feeling more like chores than a real connection with their Maker. In this brief book, I intend to explain every expression used in the prayer so that they no longer remain just empty words but phrases with real intended meanings.I have intentionally kept this work small and to the point so that it can be quickly read and reviewed on a regular basis to integrate the meanings of the words of salah in the reader's mind. I hope that through it the reader can learn to build a real connection with Allah in his/her prayer and find real peace and tranquility through his/her worship. |
