Alhamdulillah - Converted Today
Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh brothers and sisters! Sorry about this old username - I made it before I was interested in Islam, so I’ll be creating a new account soon. Alhamdulillah, I said the Shahada today and embraced Islam. I feel really happy and peaceful about my choice and I’m excited to learn more and draw nearer to Allah. I’ve gone through almost the entire Qur'an with an English translation, and I prayed after my Shahada - that moment brought me a lot of calm and gratitude to Allah. Now I’m a bit unsure about the practical side of prayer. I know the basics like wudu, wearing hijab, and avoiding makeup or nail polish during prayer, and I’m aware of the prayer times. But when it comes to performing the prayers themselves I feel stuck and don’t know exactly where to begin. I tried to wake up for Tahajjud one night around 4–5 AM but got lost during the prayer and felt embarrassed. Could anyone share simple, beginner-friendly resources or tips for learning how to pray properly? Step-by-step guides, short videos, or personal advice about building confidence in prayer would be really helpful. Jazakum Allahu khairan for reading. May Allah grant us peace of heart and make our affairs easy. Ameen.
