Take a look at http://www.abumohammed.muftisays.com/Taleemul_Haq.pdf

Good beginners book, easy to understand insha allah. Covers Salah, Fasting, Hajj, etc

With regards to the rak'aat:

Fajr: 2 Sunnah, 2 Fard

Dhuhr: 4 Sunnah, 4 Fard, 2 Sunnah, 2 Nafl

Asr: 4 Sunnah, 4 Fard

Maghrib: 3 Fard, 2 Sunnah, 2 Nafl

Isha: 4 Sunnah, 4 Fard, 2 Sunnah, 2 Nafl, 3 Witr,

As far as the beads are concerned, no they are not compulsory.

In fact, according to some, this is a bid'ah. However, there is basis for its usage. See http://www.central-mosque.com/index....ads-bidah.html

Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen (al-Liqa’ al-Maftooh, 3/30) was asked whether using the masbahah for tasbeeh is bid’ah, and his reply was: “It is better not to do tasbeeh with the masbahah, but it is not bid’ah, because there is a basis for it, which is the fact that some of the Sahaabah did tasbeeh with pebbles."

However, the minimums for each salah which most people I know do on a day-to-day basis are 2 for Fajr, 4 for Dhuhr and Asr, 3 for Maghrib and 4 + 3 Witr for Isha'a. Sunnah salat, like all things in the sunnah, aren't a fardh, however obviously you should try to pray them as often as you can. But just focus on getting your fardhs in - they're the most important ma sha Allah.

Fard obviously take top priority. However, its worth baring in mind that: A person who leaves out the Sunan-e-Muakkadah Salaah out of carelessness, or habitually leaves them out, is considered a Faasiq (open transgressor). The following ruling is written in Tahtaawi, "A person who leaves out Sunan-e-Muakkadah is a Faasiq, a person who denies it is an innovator, and it is stated in Talweeh that leaving it out is close to Haraam."
(Malfoozhaat Faqeehul Ummat, Vol. 1, Part 4, Pg. 16) http://www.muftisays.com/qa/question...nah-salah.html

A person only becomes sinful when he deliberately leaves out the Sunnat-e-Muakkadah continuously. If due to unavoidable circumstances he omits them once in a while, then he will not be regarded as sinful. (Shaami vol.2 pg.451; Multan). http://www.islam.tc/cgi-bin/askimam/...3513&act=print
