🕌 Worship in the home · #83

My spouse is a convert (mualaf) and still learning to pray. How do I help?

Guide them patiently and gradually, because a complete prayer comes with time and practice. Teach one step at a time, and praise every bit of progress so they stay motivated. Pray in congregation with them so they can follow the movements and recitation slowly. Provide written material or recordings of the recitation that are easy to repeat at home. Do not show disappointment if they make a mistake or are slow; remember that you too once had to learn. Enrol them in a convert class at the state religious office, which offers step-by-step guidance. Celebrate their first complete prayer as a family achievement. See prayer guide.
