AOA I just want to ask the following please: 1. Is reciting "Ya Hayyu Ya Qayyumu be rahmatika astaghis", "La haula wala quwatta Illah billah", "HAsbunallahu wa nayma mal wakeel", "La illaha Illa anta Subhanka Inni kuntu minzalimeen", "Allaho Allaho rabbi la ushriko bihi shayia" are all mustahab adhkar or any is fard also. 2. If I recite any one or two of the above-mentioned adhkar so is it ok or I have to recite all of them. Please answer me I am really worried.

I have heard many traditions concerning reciting the Noble Quran and I know it has much thawab if we recite it. For instance, there is a narration from the apostle of Allah (pbuh) that said: > Whoever recites a letter from the Holy Quran, it will be written for > him a Hassanah that 10 times has more thawab… (Majma'ul Bayan p. 36) Or in another tradition, the Prophet (peace be upon him and his household) said: > the best Ebadah of my Ummah is reciting of the Quran. (Wasaelul-Shia, > vol. 6, p. 168) But I wonder if it is mandatory (wajib) for a Muslim to recite it or it is just as a recommended practice (except reciting the Quran during the salah)

I've been wondering how one can lengthen their prayer -in order to remain more in praying condition- by using extra zikrs in ruku', sijdah, tashahhud, salaam and so on? I've heard that any prayer in praise of Allah is permissible in sijdah and ruku. I'd be glad to know if this is true, and if so, what are some more common/accepted suggestions. What about tashahhud and salaam, please?
