Daily Prayers
These are the short supplications repeated throughout the day, gathered in one place. Each one is given with its original Arabic, its transliteration in Latin letters and its meaning in English, along with the recommended number of repetitions. The transliteration line helps those memorising; the meaning line sits right beside it for those learning what they recite.
