Khushu' in Salah:
This week, our students across all grades are learning about Salah and the proper actions. Our wonderful and talented middle school students demonstrated examples and non-examples of salah actions to our younger students.
We would like for you parents at home to practice with your child the proper salah and to have them show you what they have learned. We also strongly recommend that you have our young men be Imams for the family, and our young ladies to lead prayers for the women in the family too. May Allah SWT make them better Muslims everyday, insha'allah.
