9. Quwma, meaning to stand up straight after Ruku.

10. When in Sajda to have three toes on each foot to be flat on the ground and the tips pointing towards Qibla.

11. Jalsa, meaning to sit up between two Sajdas.

14. To pray in both Qaidahs the whole of Tashahhud, in fact, regardless of the amount of Qaidahs in a Salaah to pray the whole of Tashahhud is Wajib, if even one word is left out of Attahiytat the Wajib will be missed.

15. In both Salaams the word Salaam is Wajib, the words 'Alaikum Wa Rahmutullah' is not Wajib.

16. To pray 'Dua-e-Kunoot' in Witr.

17. To perform Takbeer in Kunoot (To lift your hands and say Allahu Akbar in the third Rakat of Witr).

20. The Imam to pray loudly in all Jehri Salaah and to pray quietly in non Jehri Salaah.

21. To pray all Fardh and Wajib Salaah in routine (meaning to pray the before one's before and the after one's after).

22. To perform only one Ruku in every rakat and to perform only two Sajdas.

23. Not to perform a Qaidah before two rakats and not to perform a Qaida in the third rakat if it is a four rakat Salaah.

24. To perform Sajda-e-Tilawat if an Ayat of Sajda has been prayed.

25. If there has been an error (where a Wajib has been missed) then to perform Sajda-e-Sahoo.

26. There is not to be a gap between two Fardh actions or between two Wajib actions or a Fardh and a Wajib actions longer than the time it takes to say Subhanallah three times.

27. If the Imam is performing Qirayat, whether it is loudly or quietly, the Muqtadees to remain completely quiet.

28. Except for Qirayat, to follow the Imam in all the Wajibs.

1 Except for the Fardh and Wajib actions, all the rest of the actions mentioned in the method of Salaah are either Sunnah or Mustahhab. They should not be missed on purpose, and if they are missed by mistake then it is not necessary to perform Sajda-e-Sahoo nor repeat the Salaah. If however, you repeated the Salaah then it is a good thing.

2 If you want to know in more detail the Sunnahs and Mustahhabs then read either Bahar-e-Shariah or Fatawa-e-Razvia as we have not gone into small detail or abbreviated them here.
