Okay, so when I go to the masjid, I go with my friend (he's littler than me and he's in Jamaica NY and memorized 13 Pharahs).
At the Masjid I go to, (It's a Bangali one) they do 20 Rakats. At the MAdrashah that my friend goes to, they do 8 Rakats and he said the Madrashah is Shafi (ours is Abu Haneefah).
Now I'd like to know (with evidence from Hadith and Quran), how many Rakats are we supposed to do?
The Muslims are divided by things whcih are Bidah or Haraam, like the Shias and Sufis (who are not part of Islam), and now ISlam is seperated by the 4 Imams.
C'mon everyone, I'm not saying to just forget the teachings of the Imams, but WE should follow the True Islam that our Nabi (SAW) tought us.
Like I tried to find out the correct way to do Salat; since I see Arabs doing Takbeers, Pakistani brothers crossing their arms together, and I see Bangali muslims putting one hand over the other.
now the best people to look at are the ones with the marks on their foreheads. The mark is dark so that anyone can be able to tell that they do their Salat correctly.
And whoever does their Salat correctly, they can NEVER! commit ONE SIN!
So look at the way the old men (they are the ones who usually have it) or any other man (with The Mark) does their Salat.
See if they do the extra Takbeers. Listen if they say Ameen. See if they cross their arms. See if they put one hand over the other.
SEE IF THEY EVEN HAVE A MARK AT ALL!
And so I've came to this answer (if I'm wrong may Allah guide me to the staright path.):
