When we should perform sajdah sahu?
In the times when confusion comes in my salah, sometimes there is doubt that I have left a rakat and sometimes I am sure that I have left a rakat. I have to do sajdah sahu in second case but, what about the first case ? I have to do sajda sahu in first case also ?

Accidentally did sajda sahu but then did not complete it

Forgot the number of prostration I've did so I did an extra one & then a prostration of forgetfulness?
I've heard that when you're unsure abt the no of prostration you should think of the smaller no so it's correct if not so what should I do if I forget the no of prostrations?

is my prayer valid in this situation?
Recently, I started feeling as though I missed one sujood in my prayers at least once a day. I thought this was from Shaytan, so I ignored the thought whenever it came up during Salah.

Recently, I started feeling as though I missed one sujood in my prayers at least once a day. I thought this was from Shaytan, so I ignored the thought whenever it came up during Salah. I have a long history of waswas (whispers) about the number of sujoods I perform, so I assumed that maybe Shaytan was trying to exploit my weakness. Every time the thought came to mind, I pushed it aside.
Today, while praying the third rak'ah, I had doubts about whether or not I performed two sujoods during the sujood. However, I had a gut feeling that I had made two sujoods, and I thought it was just waswas. So, I ignored the doubt. But after I stood up, I started rethinking whether I had made two sujoods or not. Still, I had that gut feeling that I did indeed perform two sujoods, so I ignored the doubt and completed the prayer. However, after finishing, I started to feel as if I might have actually made only one sujood.
Is what I did correct, and is my prayer valid?

When to make dua during prayer

Salam, i have just started praying and i am in the process of learning more about islam. While I know you can make dua during sujood, i was wondering if it is permissible to ask for worldly things like marriage/a specific person for marriage and whether it can be done in English.
The second part of my question is related to duas before and after tasleem. Some say it can be done before tasleem, others say it can be done after tasleem. What is the proper way to do it as I want to make sure I do not make a mistake.
(My questions relate to prayers done at home)
Thank you

Did I do sajda sahw correctly?
I was praying Isha and I suddenly forgot how many rakat I prayed but I think I was on the 4th. I genuinely am not sure though. Since I wasn't sure, I did sajda sahw at the end before taslim. Was this correct?

Is it okay if i read the tasbih different times in different sujud or ruku?
let's say in 1 Rakat 2 sujud. Usually, I repeat the tasbih 3 or 5 times on each sujud. So, if in the first sujud I repeated 5 times, in the 2nd one I repeated 3 times accidentally, is it a problem? Do I have to perform Sajda Sahw for that?

Is Allah negotiating with Iblis (Satan) in Quran 15:34-44?
[Surah 15, ayah 26-44][1] of the Holy Quran describes the then blessed Jinn Iblis (now accursed Satan) refusing to prostrate before the Prophet Adam (AS). Allah, responds by cursing Iblis (15:34-44): > The Lord said: "Then get out of here; you are rejected, and there shall be a curse upon you till t...
Surah 15, ayah 26-44 of the Holy Quran describes the then blessed Jinn Iblis (now accursed Satan) refusing to prostrate before the Prophet Adam (AS). Allah, responds by cursing Iblis (15:34-44):
> The Lord said: "Then get out of here; you are rejected, and there shall be a curse upon you till the Day of Recompense."
>
> Iblis said: "My Lord! Grant me respite till the Day when they will be resurrected."
>
> Allah said: "For sure you are granted respite until the day of a known time."
>
> Iblis said: "My Lord! In the manner You led me to error, I will make things on earth seem attractive to them and lead all of them to error, except those of Your servants whom You have singled out for Yourself."
>
> Allah said: "Here is the path that leads straight to Me. Over My true servants you will be able to exercise no power, your power will be confined to the erring ones, those who choose to follow you. Surely Hell is the promised place for all of them."
This strikes me as an unusual conversation; it seems like Allah is negotiating with Iblis about his punishment, and dividing up humans like "these are yours, and these are mine" in a kind of divine custody dispute. However, it doesn't strike me as necessary for Allah to accept Iblis's requests; what is the motivation for agreeing to Iblis's requests?
*Q*: Is Allah negotiating with Iblis? Why is Allah agreeing to Iblis's terms?

Why were the Angels told to prostrate to Adam (AS)?
We are only allowed to prostrate to Allah (swt) otherwise we are committing shirk. Then why were the Angels told to make sajda / go down to sujood for Adam (AS)? Also Yousuf (AS) saw a dream that the planets were prostrating to him which turned out that his brothers prostrated to him.

Especially in taraweeh prayer in the month of Ramadan we perform several times sujud at-tilawa if we meet a verse in which a sujud is required.
My question is let's say the sujud should be performed in the verse 17:107:
and I planed to go for ruku' right afterwards what are the views of scholars of the different schools of jurisprudence?
Is it permissible to go for sujud (perform the sujud) then stand up, then go down for ruku'?
Or should one at least recite one more verse before moving to ruku'?
In other words: Is there such a difference of opinion in this regards?

Dua's in sujood
