“When we created this project we went to the students and said, “We want to create a compendium on the basics of the religion. It should be the type of CD you would give to your child that they could reference for years to come.” We chose Abu Tasneem Dawud Adib (may Allah preserve him and his family)  for this project and he gladly accepted it. Now 3 years later this studio production is complete. This is a must have for Masaajid who offer products, da’wah centers, stores, vendors who have products for families on the basics of al-Islaam.

It is over 35 tracks for study and constant review. Listen as Abu Tasneem recites al-Faatihah and statements that should be said in the prayer. Listen as he covers the basics of the prayer that all need to know. “

‘Umar Ibn Al-Khattaab would write to his governors during his caliphate and say: “The most important of your affairs in my view is prayer; whoever prays regularly has protected his faith, but whoever neglects it, is bound to be more negligent in other issues of faith.
