1. The Four Fard (Obligatory) Pillars of Wudu

While performing the complete Sunnah Wudu brings immense reward, students must know the four obligatory pillars mentioned in Surah Al-Ma’idah (5:6): washing the entire face once, washing both arms including the elbows once, wiping (Masah) a portion of the head, and washing both feet up to and including the ankles.

2. Understanding the Rakaat of the 5 Daily Prayers

Fajr consists of 2 Sunnah Mu’akkadah and 2 Fard. Dhuhr includes 4 Sunnah, 4 Fard, and 2 Sunnah. Asr has 4 Fard. Maghrib includes 3 Fard and 2 Sunnah. Isha includes 4 Fard, 2 Sunnah, and 3 Witr.

3. Perfecting Recitation in Qiyam, Ruku, Sujood & Tashahhud

Practicing Sana, Surah Al-Fatiha, Tashahhud (At-Tahiyyat), Durood-e-Ibrahim, and Dua-e-Qunoot aloud with a live teacher eliminates lifelong pronunciation mistakes.
