Help young learners discover the secret to loving salah through this engaging lesson. This lesson guides young Muslims to understand khushuʿ (humility and full focus in prayer) through the inspiring story of ʿAbbad ibn Bishr, who continued praying even whilst being shot with arrows. They learn practical steps to transform their salah from rushed movements into a loving conversation with Allah.

This lesson nurtures ʿubūdiyyah (servitude to Allah) by teaching learners that khushuʿ is a special feeling of humility and submission to Allah, being tranquil, focused and connected to Him. Young Muslims learn that when they fill their hearts with love, humility, and awe, they will love to pray salah and never miss it.

Through the heroic story of ʿAbbad ibn Bishr, learners discover what true focus in salah looks like. Despite being shot with three arrows whilst on guard duty, ʿAbbad continued his prayer because he was reciting a surah and didn’t want to stop until finishing it. The lesson explains that our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ found the most joy in salah because he loved Allah so much.

This lesson teaches that rushing salah makes us like thieves stealing from our own prayer, and that successful believers are those who have khushuʿ in their salah.
