Confused...

[Muslim_Gurl]

:salam2:

Sorry, I just wanted to ask a little question if that's alright. Sometimes when I'm praying, I stay in Sajuud for a very long time. And when I raise my head, I forget whether I have done sajdah one or twice So just incase, I make sajdah again . But not only that. I EVEN forget how many rakats I have prayed SubhnAllah, I'm so forgetful!!

Anyways my question is, do I have to repeat my prayer?? Or can I do that umm... umm...that forgetful...umm.... (Oh God! I dont know what its called! ) Okk I hope you know what I'm trying to say Sorryyyy.....

Soo...any help?? I'm extremely confused

Thankx

As-salaamu `alaykum

The first time I've heard what I highlighted, but it's mentioned as another way/opinion regarding the performance of the prostration. The following fatwa should answer inshaa' Allaah.

wa alaikum salaam,
if u dont know that its ur 1st or 2nd sajda, take it as 1st sajda and make another sajda. and in end make sajdah-e-sahw. (i.e. before final salaam, 2 sajdahs). same for if u forget how many rakaats u prayed.

but u must try to keep an eye regarding ur movements in prayers. scholars say if forgetfulness becomes obsession, just dont worry. dont think over it too much. it will snatch away pleasure of salaah.

for easiness, if u want to make long sajdah....just make ur first sajdah long so that u can remember thats its ur first one.

also before starting salaah, choose which surahs u'll recite. so u can calculate in which rakaat you are.

eg. u makeup mind to recite surah falaq in 1st and surak naas in 2nd. so when u recite surah naas, u can know thats its ur second rakkat.

:salam2: brother,

prostration of forgetfulness is called "sajdah sahw" in arabic.

in salaah, there like fard acts like standing, bowing, prostrating...if we leave them we have to repeat our prayer.

and there are wajib acts which if we leave by Mistake, we make prostration of forgetfulness before salaam.

in shafi school, the procedure is to recite tashahhud, durood sharif and dua in final rakaat, them make 2 sajdahs and then final salaam.

great book to know about wajib, sunnah acts, thing swhich break salaah, sajdah sahw,etc.:

hope its clear, if not, ask again.

shaitan is all-ready for his stupid actions.

there's a story (weak in source) that a person's thing was lost. he went to imam and asked wht to do. imam told him to make salah. he made salah and he remembered his thing during salah. then he asked imam why he told him to pray to find his thing. so the imam told him that he knew shaitan will distract him by telling him where he lost his thing. thats y he told him to pray.
