PFBC - Muslim Worship

Introduction to adhān (call to prayer) and the Fatihah (The Opening; first surah/chapter of the Qur'an, used to begin prayers and activities).

Zikr/dhikr explained. Remembrance of God. Phrases we used below:
Bismillah ir-Raḥmān ir-Raḥīm - In the name of God the most Compassionate, the most Merciful
lā illāh ilā allāh - there is not deity but God
shukrun līllah wa al-ḥamdulīllāh - all thanks and praise are due to God
yā raḥmān yā raḥīm - O Compassionate; O Merciful

Walked through one cycle of prayer in English to demonstrate positions and structure.

CDs used:

Ocean of Remembrance (The CD is apparently no longer available, but it is on iTunes)

Bismillah
