Jazak Allah Khair br. amr as always. Give my salaam to your Shaykh the next time you see him and ask him to make dua for us. So I suppose the only question remaining is: "- When the Imam rises from the last sajdah in his third rak'ah, do you need to do raf'ul yadain and say an extra takbeer? (It's the end of your second rak'ah)" NB: I am aware that these are extremely nit picky questions. But it's just to do ihsaan to the outward fiqh of salah inshaAllah. Jazakumullah.
