Where to start to learn about Islam
To gently begin in religious practice and understanding of Islam, it is important to proceed methodically, starting with the essentials: the Word of Allah.
📖 1. The Quran
We primarily recommend a translation of the Quran including the Arabic text, the phonetics and the French translation, in order to facilitate reading and understanding, even for beginners.
These editions allow one to immerse in the divine word with respect and accessibility.
🙏 2. Prayer and the pillars of Islam
Learning to pray correctly is an essential step.
Practical books such as How to Perform Prayer or books dedicated to the five pillars of Islam help to establish a solid foundation for a proper and conscious practice.
🌙 3. Discovering Islam
For those who wish to understand the religion as a whole, we offer introductory books presenting the beliefs, the message and the purposes of Islam.
These books are short, clear and specially designed for new learners.
☝️ 4. Belief (Tawhid / ‘Aqida)
Understanding Islamic faith begins with the study of Tawhid (the oneness of Allah).
Accessible books on Sunni ‘aqida provide the essential foundations of authentic belief.
🌿 5. The life of the Prophet ﷺ and the prophets
The Sira (biography of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ) and the stories of the other prophets nourish faith and strengthen love for the prophetic message.
🤲 6. The invocations (Adhkâr)
A must for everyday life: The Fortress of the Muslim.
This small book gathers authentic invocations for every moment of life: morning, evening, prayer, trials, etc.
🕌 7. Learning Arabic
Finally, for those who wish to learn the language of the Quran, we offer Arabic textbooks for beginners, specially designed for French speakers, with a clear and accessible progression.
