Do I make to make up for the Salat I missed, just after I reverted? This being the Salat where I didn't know how to pray yet.
I have asked some people and some sisters in my mosque (including teachers at the madrassah) have informed me that since I didn't know how to pray I don't need to make them up, since I was still learning. But whenever I research more about the topic online (which I found very little about) comments are mixed on wether or not you should make up for these Salat.
It just doesn't feel right for me not to make them up without being sure if that is what I am supposed to do.
Jazakallah Khair, to anybody that stumbles across this post.
May Allah reward you and keep you steadfast and firm upon His religion
First of all, there is absolutely no need for you to make up the prayers which you have missed before you reverted to Islam. In fact, it is not even required in Ahlul Sunnah Waal Jamaah to do this. What is important for you is to actually perform the prayers after you reverted to Islam which is a duty which Allah imposed upon the Children of Adam.
With regards to what you know about prayer is baseless.
I don’t know if you know Arabic, but in case you don’t know Arabic, you must strive quickly to learn how to speak, write and read. Because, a prayer is invalid if one did not recited Surah al Fatihah in Arabic, and Arabic it is the language of Prayer by the way.
And also, you should know that if you have missed a prayer with a legitimate excuse such as unintentional sleep or forgetfulness, then the expiation for it is to make up the prayer you missed.
You asked about how to pray, yea? I have found an easy method for you, and this is also what I have used after reverting to Islam:
