in addition, it is better.

the Prophet who said, “Go back and pray, for you have not prayed.” This happened thrice. The man
said, “By Him Who sent you with the Truth, I cannot offer the prayer in a better way than this. Please,
teach me how to pray.” The Prophet said, “When you stand for Prayer say Takbir and then recite from
the Holy Qur’an (of what you know by heart) and then bow till you feel at ease. Then raise your head

calmness till you feel at ease (do not hurry) and do the same in all your prayers
