Q. How should we sit between the two Sijdahs
as well as during the recitation of TASHAH-HUD?
Keep your right foot with all its toes
pointing towards Qiblah. Place the instep of the left foot on the ground and
sit on it. While sitting, keep both your palms on your knees.
Q. Is there any difference between the
Salats of an Imam (head of the prayer) on the one hand and those of a Muqtadi
(follower) and an individual (Munfarid) on the other?
Yes, there is some difference between the
ways the Salat is performed by an Imam, a follower and an individual. One
difference is that the Imam and the individuals recite THANA , TA’AW-WUZ, TASMIYAH, the AL-FATIHA and some other SURAH in the first Rak'ah and BISMIL-LAH, the AL-FATIHA and any other SURAH in the second one. But the Muqtadi (follower)
recites the
THANA only and stands quiet behind the Imam.

Q. How to perform Salat if there are three
or four Rak'ahs I it?
Perform the first two Rak'ahs in the
manner stated above. But no DURUD should be recited in sitting after
AT-TAHIY-YAT and TASHAH-HUD. Instead, stand up erect as before, saying
Takbir. If the Salat is Wajib (compulsory), Masnun (Prophet’s Precept) or Nafl,
perform the remaining two Rak'ahs like the first two. If, however, it is a Fard
(commanded) Salat, do not recite any Surah after the holy AL-FATIHA in the
third and fourth Rak'ahs. The rest of the process tallies with that of the previous
ones.
Q. Is a Masnun or Nafl Salat offered in
three Rak'ahs or four?
A Masnun or Nafl Salat is never of three
Rak'ahs. It is either of two Rak'ahs or four.
Q. What is the right way to perform Ruku'?
The Ruku' should be performed in such a
way that the waist and head are level with each other. In other words, one
should neither raise the head above the waist nor lower it below the same. Keep
the two arms clear of the ribs. Grasp the knees firmly with your hands.
Q. What is the right way to perform Sijdah?
The Sijdah should be performed in this
way:
Place the palms and fingers together on
the ground. Keep the wrists and elbows raised a little above the ground. Keep
the belly clear of the thighs and the arms of the ribs.
