Asalam o alakum Ali Is it haraam to recite a Surah after Surah Fatiha in the 4th rakat or is it just not needed(necessary). Is the prayer of a person valid who (out of ignorance) recites two surahs (fatiha and some other) in the 4th rakat ?

Al-Quran القرءان literally means The Readable despite being encrypted. It is divided into chapters each called Sura سورة or perimeter surrounding a unit of readable encrypted text and each chapter is subdivided into verses each called Aya ءاية or revelation acting as an indivisible unit of encryption value. Verses have different lengths ranging from 3 letters [42:2] to a full page [2:282] and never split across pages. A verses can contain partial sentence, a full sentence, or many sentences regardless of meaning. The ever-revealing Quran (القرءان الكريم) is alive and protected inside a shell (مكنون) similar to egg/pearl shells as described by God Almighty in the following verses: 37:49 كأنهن بيض مكنون as if eggs hidden inside protective shells 52:24 كأنهم لؤلؤ مكنون as if pearls hidden inside protective shells 56:23 كأمثل ٱللؤلؤ ٱلمكنون As if pearls hidden inside protective shells 56:78 في كتب مكنون In a book that is hidden inside a protective shell 56:79 لا يمسه الا المطهرون No one reaches it except the purified in [33:33] The Quran starts with chapter The Key (الفاتحة) that has of 7 verses, 29 words, and 139 letters. All are prime numbers (only divisible by themselves and 1 (وتر) and their digit sums [7=7, 2+9=11, 1+3+9=13] are prime too. Such numbers are called Additive Prime Numbers. What’s more, the first 7 words consist of 29 letters and the 7th additive prime number is 29. Did I say the7th word starts with letter (ر) that has a primalogy value of 29?

This would not have been possible without having another chapter with the same multiplication value (1653) as there is no middle in an even number (114) of chapters. Add to that the 16th prime is 53 and Allah's scheme gets exponentially complex. Subhaan Allah infinitely. But why chapter 87? And while it is beautiful that chapter 57 has 29 verses and 57 x 29 equals to the sum from 1 to 57, what is the real reason behind it? Allah knows better.
