:salam2: brother,
we should just follow the Quraan and Sunnah.Rasullullah sallallahu alayhi wassallam left us these two.DO IGNORE people who try to change your way!trust Allaah then yourself while you are performing salaat and other ibadahs,if they see you confused then they try to affect and control you..
MAy Allah always guide us on siraat al-mustaqeem amen.
