Tawjih — step-by-step guidance
Islamic Guides
Practical, sourced guides on the essentials of Islamic practice — how to pray, make wudu, learn duas, keep daily habits, understand the Hijri calendar and prepare for Ramadan. Every difference between scholars is stated plainly, and nothing here replaces a qualified teacher for personal rulings.

Put it into practice
Guides teach; tools make it daily. Track today's prayers, build the habits behind the guides, and follow the Islamic date alongside them — all private, all free, no account needed.
How every guide is sourced
Qur'anic verses are cited by surah and ayah. Hadith are attributed to their collections; where a narration's chain or wording is discussed by scholars, that is stated rather than hidden.
Where the schools of fiqh differ — from wudu's nullifiers to missed prayers and Eid — each position is presented for what it is: a scholarly view, not a universal ruling.
Guides never issue fatwas. For personal rulings you are directed to qualified scholars. Our full method is on the Sources & Methodology page.
