Qunoot-e-Naazilah

Q: Could you please tell me if qunoot is recited at the time of calamities?

1. At what type of calamities it should be read.

2. Should it be read in fard prayers (all) or in nafil prayers.

3. How to read the qunoot in Salah (procedure with dua).

4. Is that the same procedure that Nabi Muhammed (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) read for one month for the destruction of enemies who killed pious people, what happened to them as a result.

Mistakes in taraweeh salaah

Q: With regards to Taraaweeh:

1. An Aayah was recited correctly. The Imaam thereafter repeated the Aayah and changed it (incorrectly) due to some doubt. Is the initial correct recitation or the second recitation which was incorrect taken into consideration? Does the Aayah have to be repeated?

2. For the purpose of listening to the Luqmah of a Saami', the Imaam remained silent for the duration of 3 Subhaanallaah or more (he did not recite Qiraat for that duration). Should Sajdat-us-Sahw be made?

3. Additionally, if a person because of some disturbance missed an Aayah in Surah Faatihah, or one sentence in his At-Tahiyyat, does he have to make Sajdatut-us-Sahw? To what extent is the Surah Faatihah and At-Tahiyyat Waajib?
