QUESTION: While praying behind the imam, I had completed Surah al-Fatihah and was reciting the additional surah when the imam went into ruku. I continued briefly, then went into ruku, but I couldn’t complete the transition takbir (“Allahu Akbar”). The imam stood up while I was already in ruku. Is my rak’ah valid?
