Trying to learn how to pray - is still accepted and approved as knowing100% how to pray.

Im Turkish - so dont know arabic at all, but what made me feel better in the beginning was knowing that the Koran arabic is a different language to the arabic that is spoken / read by most Middle Eastern countries. So this meant that i had a chance of understanding the Koran as much as anyone else. (Dont know if you know what im trying to get at.)

Praying - Self taught here - Only learn how to pray the morning pray ( Sabah namaz in Turkish i think its Salat-ul-Fajr - correct me if im wrong) Once you have mastered this - keep this chart handy -

(i) Fajr prayer: 2 Rakaat Sunnat Muakkadah, 2 Rakaat Fard

(ii) Dhuhr prayer: 4 Rakaat Sunnat Muakkadah , 4 Rakaat Fard, 2 Rakaat Sunnat Muakkadah

(iii) Asr Prayer: 4 Rakaat Sunnat Ghair Muakkaadah , 4 Rakaat Fard.

(iv) Maghrib prayer.: 2 Rakat Nafl, 3 Rakat Fard, 2 Rakat Sunnat Muakadah

(v) Isha prayer: An unspecified number of Nafl Rakaat according to the time and capacity, 4 Rakaat Fard, 4 Rakaat Sunnat Muakkadah, 2 Rakaat Sunnat Muakkadah and 3 Witr
Please ladies correct the terminology if im wrong - as im Turkish, i dont know the names of the namaz in arabic.

I even put this chart on my mobile, so when i was out i didnt have to ask anyone.

hopefully this is helpful, if not just let me know lol, i know how you feel i also didnt know how to pray - so i know how overwhelming all it is....

My next step is the Quran - If i can learn to read it...... 2 me
