Answer 1

If you don't know how to distinguish the position of Qibla, you can face the direction you feel is most probable to be.

There are no prayers in English. Would you like me to teach you how to pray? IM me at azra_981

i guess, if u don't know any surahs in arabic, u can recite them in english

im not sure about english prayers but my teacher told me that the point of praying with arabic prayers is that the aarbic was the language that quran and the surahs were sent in. and even today, no one knows the meanings of the many of the words and ayets in Quran. so we can say that there are some secret words and ayets that only Allah knows. this is why if you use translations of prayers, you'll miss those words. it was hard to memorise the arabic prayers to me when i just had begun to pray, but then it gets easier and i'll later find some links for you to help you pray. and in those sites, you can find the prayers in different version, you know the sounds like a song ones, i'll send them to you and when you listen to it, like a song, you'll easily remember it. good luck!!!
