If I’m uncertain for example in salah that whether I’m on 3rd rakat or fourth rakat. Islam says to skip 3rd rakat because I should not pay attention to doubts after being certain about something. But Islam also says to pray 3rd rakat so I could go with what I’m certain about. Could you please tell me which way is correct?

I wouldn’t recommend it as it would shift their intention to getting the prize rather than to obey Allah. If this was a once prize, this may be ok but to give it over such long duration, I wouldn’t recommend it.

Some people refer to our Prophet (Salla Allahu Alaihi wa sallam) as the wali of the needy and the maula of orphans. Can the words Wali & Maula be used for anyone other than ALLAH swt?
