Q: Can you please advise the correct way to perform Tahajjud salah (night prayer)? Is it permissible to pray it after the Isha prayer? Is it permissible to wake up at a certain time where I can pray my Tahajud and an hour later I can pray Fajar? Please advise the best way to focus in namaz, due to some of the stressful conditions I am going through, those thoughts come and go in my mind during Salah. How can I stop that or focus more on salaah?

1) In salaah, if you move your head in any direction (right, left, up, down, back or forth), does this nullify the salaah?
2) Moving your chest in salaat in a direction away from the qiblah, does this nullify salaah?
3) If your pants has a small hole and your skin is visible through the hole, performing salaah in this state, will your salaah be valid?
4) If the underneath of a shoe touches the top of your feet, do you have to wash that part of your feet before performing salaah?

Q: A person I know came with me to the Friday prayers. He is not very knowledgeable in Fiqh like myself and we are both non-Aalims. I got out and my companion went to park, but time was running short already, so I managed to find a space, but wasn't sure whether my companion got there on-time. Anyway, I prayed and finished the namaaz. When I got towards the back row I noticed my companion, he pulled me to the side and he was concerned if his prayer was valid, he explained to me the following situation: He came and the Jamaat rose for the 2nd rak'ah, he joined them in the 2nd rak'ah. So when they went into Tashahhud and my companion got up before the Imaam made tasleem, either out of forgetfulness or ignorance, and he quickly managed to finish his final rak'ah and apparently still managed to say the tasleem with the Imaam. He didn't do two prostrations of forgetfulness either. If he neglected to say the Tashahhud out of ignorance as well, would that affect the verdict? What is the verdict anyway?
Q: Our local Imaam recites long Surahs in Maghrib Salaah and very short Surahs in Esha Salaah. My understanding is that it should be other way around. Please advise the correct procedure especially in the light of the sunnah of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam).
