Well, if "the religion" requires an arabic prayer only, I don't think you're aiming Heaven but more like a residency in an arab country.

Well, if you're Muslim, you can pray Arabic versions of the Quran in English. I am a Christian and I don't pray verses of the Bible all the time. I did for a short while, but now, I just tell God what I'm feeling and I ask Him for forgiveness if I did something wrong. If you do not know how to pray in Arabic, it is not a big deal. Just tell God in English what you are feeling and stuff like that. God will not hate you just because you don't know how to pray in Arabic. It does not say he will hate you anywhere because of that. God loves everybody. He does not hate at all. I live by His code and I don't hate anybody, no matter what their religion is or what color skin they have. I treat people how I want to be treated. I don't think God can be mad at me. We are all equal in God's eyes. Just remember that God loves you. Hope this helps.

Salaam sister,
The five daily prayers are the first things God will ask us about on judgement day and the second most important pillar in Islam. It strengthens our faith and renews are commitment to Allah (swt). It also erases sins we do. There is no excuse not to preform them. If you don't know Arabic, I suggest you pray in the language you know for now, as Allah (swt) understands all languages and is All- Merciful. Don't forget that most Muslims are Non-Arabs! ... Many have dedicated some time to learn at least two chapter of the Quran. Most importantly Alfatiha, which is said in every rakah. Sister, I use to teach children as young as 3 (mostly Non-Arabs) how to memorize short Chapters. You'd be amazed as how easy it is, it just needs commitment. Don't forget that for every letter you pronouce of the Quran you get a good deed and that good deed is mulitiplied by 10. So it's very rewarding. I suggest you to read the translation first to understand what your saying.
Here is a link that could help you on your quest, don't rely on your "chances" and act now because it's your duty towards Allah (swt) and yourself.

God does not discriminate. You can pray in your own language. The bible, the quran as well have been translated in many languages. The intention in your heart- the intention of praying is important. Pray in your own language my friend. I'll say a prayer for you too.
God Bless

I have muslim friends who don't know arabic, they just memorize the surahs and recite them when they are praying. I guess you have the same chance as them on judgement day
