Allah describes the believers in the chapter of Al-Mu’minoon verses 1 and 2:
“Successful are the believers, those who are mindful in their prayers.”
And so the believers, after having faith, are first described with their prayers.
So we know immediately that our success is tied to our prayers.
It is a tool that will not only transform your hereafter, but the quality of your life now.
We pray but don’t understand what we are saying.
We are told to be mindful but were never taught HOW to be mindful..
We haven’t INVESTED in both aspects of the communication of the prayer; knowing what Allah is saying when He is speaking to us, and mastering how to speak to Him in the prayer.
Far from the intimate conversation and connection it was designed to be, it’s become a robotic exercise.
The Prophet ﷺ once saw a man praying and told him to repeat it again, and again, and a third time, because he kept rushing through it.
Stillness, being present, being mindful, is a pillar of the prayer.
It’s the secret ingredient that ties the entire experience together.
We’ve laid out a guide to help you tap into that secret:
A Mindful Salah
with Shaykh Ammar AlShukry
It’s the online guide to making your signal with Allah stronger than ever before.
Shaykh Ammar is taking you through the process of fortifying your mind and heart in the Salah.
You can access your map to mindfulness right away!
Without a shadow of a doubt, this is definitely way up there in my favourites courses, and I highly recommend it to anyone who is yearning to transform their prayers from an act of routine/obligation into an eagerly anticipated act of love and devotion to their Rabb which they don't want to end.

Shaykh Ammar AlShukry is a graduate of AlMaghrib’s degree program who went on to study under the tutelage of some of America’s greatest scholars.
Known for his eloquence, charisma and habit of dropping heavy bars in every course, Shaykh Ammar is making sure your ascent to a mindful Salah is one you’ll never forget.
This course has been a long time coming, as Shaykh himself says:
“I wanted to solve a problem that I have… to figure out how to collect this material for my own benefit but at the same time I realized that this is a problem that the entire Ummah suffers from.”
Ascension is the fruit of that realization.
It’s been tried and tested over a whole year, even taught in person at Shaykh Ammar’s local masjid in Houston, Texas.
Here’s just a few examples of how Ascension has already impacted people’s lives…
