Offering Prayer in My Mother Tongue 

Question:

Will Allah accept my prayer (salat) if offer them in my mother tongue not Arabic? 

Answer:

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright.

prayer is an act of worship that is based on the modality and tradition of our Prophet (peace be upon him). Although within the salat we can insert voluntary supplications.

Some parts of the salat are confined and cannot be changed. There are two different opinions on what can be added within our prayers in our native language.
