His prayer is invalid as he left second Sajdah, a pillar of salah.

· I cooperate and categorize:

Obligatory sayings of prayer

· Subhana rabbiyal Atheem

· Sitting between two prostrations

· Subhana Rabbiyal Ala

· Assalamu Alaikum Wa rahmatullah.

· Tasleem

I discuss and assess:

Ans: His prayer is nullified and he must repeat his salah

Pg. no. 60

I read & infer:

· (One volunteer element)

Ans: Reciting one more surah along with Surah al Fatiha.

· (the consequences).

Ans: The prayer will be valid but one will miss the rewards of not following the Sunnah acts.

The prayer will be nullified; omitting an obligatory element of the prayer cannot be compensated with the prostration of forgetfulness.

The prayer will not be nullified by not doing voluntary acts.

Pg. no. 61

I think and determine:
