"A very good basic introduction to the practice of Islam and a comprehensive guide to Prayer."
Naugul Durani, Convener of the Islamic Circle Talks, Islamic Cultural Centre, London

"The narration is very clear and undaunted. It seems to me to be just the right level for new Muslims and the English translations of the Arabic are very useful. I only wish this had been available when I first became Muslim as my prayer could be much improved by these guides to pronunciation and meaning."
Tim Bowes

"An excellent, simple and accurate guide that is beautifully presented for the most spiritual of a Muslim's activities."
Dr Musharraf Hussain, Director of the Karimia Institute, Nottingham
