    Wa alaikum salam. If there is a god, I highly doubt he wants to hear recited prayers from a script. I think he'd much rather hear a prayer of your own from your heart. If god wants to hear recited prayers, there's nothing stopping him from just having a recording playing in his headphones all the time. Scripted prayers are a human invention, nothing more.

    Salam You can only memorize surah Al Fatihah which has only 7 short verses for every raka'at of your prayer.You can delay other short surah such as Al Falaq,Al Kautsar which are recommended to recite after al Fatihah on the first and second raka'at only.You can visit the mosque for praying oin congregation so will know how to perform the prayer by following the imam and other followers in front of you.

    I dont know, but you should know about your allah whom you are praying.

    was muhumad really a messiah,

    If a messiah who has sex slaves, marries a jewish woman after killing her whole family, marries a sex slave after making her pregnant(mary, was a sex slave, who gave brith to a boy, who died before 15.)marries aisha and consumes her at 9,

    kills and order killing of non muslims,

    etc etc... How can you consider someone this history as a messiah.

    The abraham saved others from Egyptians,

    The Jesus came, and saved the ppl from the Roman torturing,

    Whom did muhumad saved ??

    Instead He killed to force his religion on others, and thats why the middle east is never calm.

    There is a curse on islam by the ppl who died under the muhumads sword

    I suggest you to pray according to your knowledge and ability. I know you cannot practice it properly in the beginning. 5 times Prayers is established everyday, I am sure you would get used to it gradually.

    You can learn slowly, in the meanwhile you can start praying by saying "Allahu Akbar" in every rakaat.. that is how I have seen one revert pray..
