Seeking Nearness to Allah (SWT)

Assalamu alaikum, brothers and sisters. I’m trying to strengthen my faith and become a better Muslim, inshaAllah. I want to start by praying more consistently and spending time at the mosque to be around other believers-it just feels right to be in that environment, you know? I didn’t grow up in a very religious household, and my parents aren’t around to guide me, so I could really use some advice from the community. I have a few questions: 1. Are there any good resources for learning how to perform all the prayers from scratch? I’ve been following YouTube videos, but I still struggle with what to do on my own-like the absolute basics of each salah. 2. Is it okay to go to the mosque and pray whenever I want, as long as it’s during opening hours and close to prayer times? I know people go for Jummah at specific times, but what about the five daily prayers-can I just drop in? 3. I’d love to hear stories of the prophets, learn about Islamic manners, and just pick up essential knowledge about our beautiful deen. Are there any podcasts or easy-to-follow resources that teach these things? If anyone can help with these, I’d be so grateful, truly. Also, please share anything you think every Muslim should know-I feel like I’m starting from scratch, and I really want to learn as much as I can. JazakAllahu khairan for any guidance you can give!
