The sunnah is to offer the sujood but it is not mandatory.

Suppose i recite sura alaq after fatiha in salah & finished recitation with it. Should i perform sujud at-tilawa immediately then stand up again then go to ruku then go to sujud? Or is it sufficient to go to ruku then go to sujud?

While praying zuhr, asr or the raqahs in which the imam doesn’t recite loudely, do the people praying behind him have to recite for their own self or just wait silently for the Imam without reciting anything else and just go into rukuh whenever he says allah hu Akbar ?

Is the sitting after each sujood the obligatory part or the dua between sujood a obligatory?
