Doubts

Q:

Salaah: During prayer, I have a problem to recite properly and I focus on correct pronunciations. So I have to repeat again and again. Due to this my prayer goes too long. Even my four rakaats complete in 20 to 25 mins (one rakat takes 5 to 7 mins ). Zuhr takes one hour 10 mins. Please help me.

Wudu: If a person pours and splashes water on face three times and later on during salaah some doubts comes to mind weather his face was fully wet or not so what should he do? Continue to perform salaah or break the salaah and do wudhu again?

Making a second jamaat in the Musjid

Q: If a group of people, who are not musaafirs, come late to the musjid after the first Jamaat is over, will it be better for each person to perform his Salaah individually or for them to make a second jamaat? Will the same ruling apply if they perform their Salaah in the sehn of the musjid? (i.e. will it be better for each person to perform his Salaah individually or for them to make a second jamaat in the sehn?)
