How to learn Islamic prayer?
I can't speak Arabic, I'm an English speaker. But how do I find an easy elementary level audio tape that recites the words one by one clearly to my understanding. I would prefer if it's a shia namaz guide rather than a Sunni one, and I'm not interested in azan or the movements at the moment, I just want to learn namaz, but it may be useful if you add it as an extra prop. Thank you all in advance

Salam You can learn the Islamic prayer by listening to its video or audio tape of prayer and by memorizing especially surah 1 of the Qur'an "Al Fatihah" which contains only 7 short verses,because it must be recited in each raka'at of the 5 prayers so the total is 17 times.Islamic prayer could not be performed in English.It must be in Arabic only.It is better if you read Sunnis's prayer guide because shiite is a misguided Islamic sect.They pray 3 times a day while based on hadith we must pray 5 times a day.

Seeing as we live in an age of online videos, why don't you just search YouTube for a video that teaches the basics of Islamic prayer. Proselytizing Muslims have uploaded seemingly millions of Islamic videos to the site, so I can pretty much guarantee that you'll find a bunch of videos there that teach you how to pronounce the words of namaz.
"Elementary level audio tapes" are so 1980s and 90s. (:

Why do you look to teachings of Muhammad when there is Jesus?
• No one ever died in Jesus' presence . . . . . Many people died in Muhammad's presence -- he had them killed.
• Jesus received instructions from God the Father . . . . . When Muhammad heard from an angel in the darkness of a cave, he cowered, was uncertain, and wanted to commit suicide.
• Jesus never fought . . . . . Muhammad fought many, many times.
• Jesus had the power to take life, but never did. He restored it . . . . . Muhammad had the power to take it, but he never restored it.
• Jesus never killed anyone . . . . . Muhammad killed many.
• Jesus never married . . . . . Muhammad had over 20 wives and even married a nine year old girl.
• Jesus performed many miracles including healing people, calming a storm with a command, and raising people from the dead . . . . . Muhammad's only alleged miracle was the Quran.
• Jesus fulfilled biblical prophecy about being the Messiah . . . . . Muhammad did not fulfill any biblical prophecy except the ones about false teachers (Matt. 24:24).
• Jesus voluntarily laid his life down for others . . . . . Muhammad saved his own life many times and had others killed.
• Jesus died and rose from the dead . . . . . Muhammad died and stayed dead.
• Jesus owned no slaves . . . . . Muhammad owned slaves.
• Jesus spoke well of women . . . . . Muhammad said women were 1/2 as smart as men (Hadith 3:826; 2:541), that the majority in hell will be women (Had. 1:28,301; 2:161; 7:124), and that women could be mortgaged.
Jesus you will find to be a very, very different sort of person. He was Godly, loving, giving and yet He was untamed, radical, a bit wild and certainly not one for the status quo; He was different. Look at the Bible and what it says about this man Jesus.
Jesus did not do circus tricks; he would not perform miracles to prove he was from God. The only miracles He did perform were to meet the needs of those around him, healing the leper, restoring sight to the blind, raising the dead etc. But he did not pander to governing or the religious authorities of the time who wanted “a sign from heaven”.
Some from within the Jewish religious authorities tried to set traps for him but He saw through there duplicity and turned the traps around and left those who came to set the trap, questioning their own motives.
He was a friend of the outcast. He hung out with tax collectors, the down trodden the helpless, and the “sinners”. He even saved an adulterer from being stoned to death. Jesus was different!
See: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+...
Muhammad, while recognizing the prophets of the Old Testament and the New Testament and presenting a claim to be of the same prophetic lineage, contradicts the prophets of both the Old and New Testament in countless ways.
Many Muslims have argued that over time, it is the Torah and the Gospel (Old and New Testament) have been corrupted, but this argument does not hold water. There are still in existence today more than 5,700 manuscripts that were created before Mohamed’s was born. And these are the texts upon which that the modern New Testament translations are based.
So if the Biblical text was changed, why didn’t God tell Mohamed about it? And why wouldn’t it be stated clearly in the Quran?
But instead we find these words:
"And if thou (Muhammad) art in doubt concerning that which We reveal unto thee, then question those who read the Scripture (that was) before thee. Verily the Truth from thy Lord hath come unto thee. So be not thou of the waverers." Surah 10.94
Turn to Jesus and there you will find the truth.
