Struggling with Salah as a New Muslim – Any Tips?

Assalamu alaikum! I embraced Islam around 3 years ago, alhamdulillah, but it’s been a real struggle for me. I just began praying regularly about a month back, and the other day I finally prayed in Arabic for the first time. I'm finding it tough to memorize the prayer, though. Any tips from fellow Muslims? JazakAllah khair.

Alhamdulillah, welcome sis! I wrote the Arabic on sticky notes around my house. Seeing them daily made it stick. It's a marathon, not a sprint.

MashaAllah, 3 years is a journey! Try listening to recitations on repeat, especially before bed. It seeps into your heart. You've got this!

Something that helped me: I'd pray along with a YouTube video, just whispering. Also, making dua for a sharp memory after every fardh salah works wonders!

Don't stress, ukhti! Even born Muslims stumble. Focus on Al-Fatiha first, and slowly add the small surahs. Consistency over perfection.

Wa alaikum assalam, sis! It took me ages too, but I kept a small paper with the transliteration in my hand during salah until it stuck. May Allah make it easy for you.
