Sifat al-Salah (description of the prayer)

8,357Is prayer invalidated for one who goes back to the opening supplication after starting to recite al-Faatihah?
If the worshipper forgets the opening supplication and starts the essential part of reciting al-Faatihah, he should not go back to the opening supplication. But if he does go back, he does not render his prayer invalid, because that does not change the appearance of the prayer.

63,557Meaning of the phrase “(Ta‘aala jadduka (Exalted by Your Majesty)” in du‘aa’ al-istiftaah
Summary of the answer: The way this phrase is to be pronounced is “wa ta‘aala jadduka” with a fat-hah on the jeem, according to scholarly consensus, and what is referred to is greatness. It is not permissible to pronounce it with a kasrah on the jeem (jidduka), because this is distorting the words of the Messenger, who (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) pronounced it with a fat-hah and the scholars did not refer to any alternative pronunciation.29,034He is wondering about the wisdom behind the fact that the number of rak‘ahs of the obligatory prayers is not mentioned in the Holy Qur’an
