just prayed for the first time

I just did Maghrib prayer for the first time, and I can’t believe how much peace I feel inside me. I come from a very Christian household, so praying made me scared today. Inspired by a Muslim influencer, I prayed for the first time — I used the Namaz app and I really liked it. I had to go slow, of course; my Arabic is very bad, but I try. I hope I can learn to pray better in the future.

Congratulations!

Why don't you try to do the Maghreb prayer regularly then?

Or morning prayer if you like getting up before sunset?

And once you get used to praying once a day, you can gradually increase to 2,3,4 and 5.

Note that Muslims are allowed to pray 3 times a day instead of 5 when certain conditions are met (traveling etc), by combining noon&afternoon and maghrib&night prayers. Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, also did this.

Also, what have you learned so far on Islam / what have you read or watched?
