You should raise your hands when you bow and when you raise your head from bowing.

There is no raising of the hands when you go down to prostrate

While we are in prayer and in bowing position we say samiallhu liman hameeda rabanna walakal hamdwhen we say that do we have to rise our hands like how we do for takbir& after that we say takbir when go to sujood position should we rise up our hands while saying samiallhu liman hameda rabbana wallakal hamd or at takbir which way is authentic?

In the musalah near by my house salatul Isha is offered in congregation. But there is a hadeeth of RasoolAllah salallaahu alayhi wassalam that he said the best time to pray isha is nisful layl?So I end up not going to congregation for Isha. I stay at home expectingto pray at the best time. Am I doing something correct in accordance with the Quran and the sunnah and the understanding of the Salafus-Salih? I sometimes neglect praying in congregation where I get thoughts telling me It will take up some time and what not. The musalah is nearby 5 minute walk. Also a good student of knowledge said that the most reward in the salah is being there before the imaam goes into takbiratul ihraam? Is this correct?

When I am at college, I have to pray there. So, when I used to pray, I was told the direction of prayer was towards the corner, so I prayed towards there, or just followed everyone elseBut, soon started to get doubts about where the qiblah actually was. I carried on praying, but afterwards I got my own campus to check thedirection, but for some reason, it didnt seem to work properly. So my freind had her phone on her, and she checked for the direction with that, and it was somewhere else, but sort of close to where I used to face whilst praying. Were my prayers valid?
