Hello, little learners! Today, we’re going to do a cool thing – a practical demonstration of a Rak’ah, a special way we pray! 🤲✨

- Bow Down: Bend down a bit, like when you’re picking up something, but keep your back straight. 🤔
- Go Down to the Ground: Now, go down low, like you’re doing a little animal crawl. Touch your head on the ground. 🌍
- Sit on Your Knees: Sit back on your knees, and say some special words. 🤲
- Turn Your Head: Turn your head to the right and say, “Peace be upon you.” Do the same to the left. 🤝
- Repeat Steps: That was one Rak’ah! In a real prayer, we do this a few times. It’s like doing a dance, but it’s a prayer dance! 💃
