Help for a new Muslim trying to pray properly
As-salamu alaykum everyone! I've recently embraced Islam, alhamdulillah, and I've been trying my best to learn Arabic and the Quran while also figuring out how to pray. I'm hitting one big snag though – I don't have a prayer rug or the proper clothes to pray in (like an abaya or hijab). Finding a job with my degree has been tough, and all my money right now is going to help my family with food. Does anyone have ideas for what I could wear instead, or know of any support for new Muslims who might be able to get proper prayer clothing? I feel really bad every day that I can't perform my salah the way I should since I reverted.
