Thinking About Leading Family Prayer: A Sister's Question

As-salamu alaykum, Just a thought that's been on my mind. Since I'm a revert, my parents aren't Muslim. But, if they were to ever embrace Islam, how could they learn to pray properly? We live in an area with very few Muslims, and the handful here don't follow the Sunnah correctly. My parents don't speak English or Arabic, which makes learning the Salah really challenging. In such a case, if I were to lead the prayer, it would be for my own parents-my mother and father. What would be the best approach in this situation? Barak Allahu feekum for any advice.

May Allah reward you for caring. Leading them is beautiful; just go slowly and focus on the basics first.

Perhaps you could find video tutorials in their native language? Visual learning helps a lot with movements and sequence.

SubhanAllah, your concern is so touching. Start with teaching them the meaning and steps in their own language.

I'd say lead them yourself and explain things simply. Allah sees your intention.

Check if there are any online scholars who offer guidance in their language? Technology can bridge the gap.
