Still Wondering About My First Prayers After Reverting

Assalamu alaikum, everyone. So I had started doing something like praying even before I officially reverted to Islam, but honestly, it probably wasn't done the right way at all. I'm not even sure when I actually learned the proper method-was it before or after taking my shahada? Also, right when I said the shahada for the first time, I got hit with some serious waswas making me second-guess everything, like 'what if Christianity is actually true?' and I had to mentally affirm my faith. Because of all that confusion, I don't know if my first prayers after that moment were valid or not. Plus, I don't remember the exact date of my reversion. My big question is: do I need to make up those early prayers or are they okay as they were? Any advice would be really appreciated, jazakAllah khair.

Oh, the waswas is so real right after shahada! Been there. I'd say just start fresh from when you're confident you know how to pray properly. No need to make up ones you're unsure about.

Welcome to the ummah! Ask your local imam for the best guidance on this, they'll know the fiqh details better than us.

The shaytan always tries to mess with new reverts. Your prayers are accepted inshaAllah because you were trying your best. Don't stress, just keep moving forward.

Don't overthink it sis! Your intention was there and Allah knows your heart. Just focus on learning and praying correctly now. May He make it easy for you.
