I grew up seeing people standing when they enter the masjid and the muazzin is saying the athan, they wait till he finishes then they perform the nawafil. I adopted it too, I now thought hey, I have never asked about it & never heard any scholar talks about it. Is this practice Ok? And can someone just perform his nawafil even if the athan is being called?

Prayer

Waiting to repeat behind the Mo’athin and saying the Duaa afterwards is better! One can pray as soon as he finishes saying the athan!

Prayer

No, nafil prayer is not forbidden at any time except after Fajr uptil the sun rises a little high, at noon for few minutes when the sun is overhead and after Asr. Awabeen prayer is duha prayer and there isn’t any such prayer after Maghreb as the hadeeth is not authentic.

i don’t speak arabic and just understand a very little bit of it. When i recite in the salah a long sura about some more pages, i know that there are surely some litte mistakes in the letters, i recite wrong or i recite a letter with ‘damma’ instead of ‘fatha’.Makes this my prayer unvalid? Please consider that suratul fatiha is recited correctly.
