“Time To Pray With Zaky” is more than another Islamic DVD it’s a wonderful, religion-based tool for introducing children to the role of prayer in Islam. In his kind and affectionate manner, Zaky, the endearing purple alien, takes young children through five daily prayers, explaining to them both how and why Muslims pray. Whether your child is just learning about Salah or needs a reminder, this DVD presents an informative introduction based on Islamic principles.
Kids are receptive to characters that they believe in, and Zaky’s friendly nature makes him an ideal educator for such a spiritually significant subject. The DVD integrates animation, nasheeds, and easy-to-follow instructions to make the children focus while teaching them to love Allah and the practice of prayer. It is an excellent method of generating curiosity as well as prompting children to have good questions about their religious journey.
A Gentle Introduction to the Five Daily Prayers
Zaky educates on the five daily prayers Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha in a clear, easy-to-understand manner for young minds. He illustrates prayer times, quantities of units (rak’ahs), and their meanings. The structure refrains from overloading the child with too much information at a time, rather incrementing comprehension step by step.
The prayers are introduced in a sequence that corresponds to a child’s day-to-day activities, allowing them to connect each prayer to instances of their own day. This connection establishes a stronger sense of belonging to Salah and engenders the feeling that prayer is part of everyday life and not something abstract or challenging. It instills familiarity, which makes it simple for children to pick up these habits unconsciously.
Why Salah Matters in Islam: Establishing the Spiritual Foundation Early
Another strength of “Time To Pray With Zaky” is the way it reinforces the spiritual justification for Salah in an entertaining manner for children. Zaky shows children that prayer is about addressing Allah, asking for His advice, and expressing thanks. This connection allows children to become more open to learning more about Islamic responsibilities.
By including nasheeds and easy language, the DVD makes sure that even the youngest of children can understand the essence—that Salah is a manifestation of love and worship. When kids view prayer as being meaningful and not just something they have to do, they are more likely to build a lifelong relationship with their religion.
Zaky as a Role Model for Muslim Children

The child learns not only technical knowledge about prayer from this character but also values such as respectfulness, being on time, and cleanliness.
Watching Zaky wudu and pray makes these actions more acceptable for kids. It becomes less challenging for them to replicate what they see on TV and use it in real life. This visual learning method is particularly effective for visual and auditory learners who learn best by example.
