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 ?

He is absolutely right and I think as a Muslim we should all the know the names of all the surahs in quran and their meanings.

This is an experiment and not a competition. I would appreciate if individuals would join and try it out for the results. It is merely an exercise in knowing the possibilities and potential of reciting the Quran in that given time frame with due diligence. Time limit is 15 minutes. Recite the Surahs that are around the 20 Ayat mark. Meaning, the maximum they should be, is around the average of 20 Ayats and go down towards the smaller ones or the other way around. High to low - or - low to high. One may start with Surah al A'ala then skip some and start with Surah al-Balad and skip more, and head towards the smaller ones like al-Asr Further information is on this page http://www.al-islam.org/fawaid-e-quran-sayyid-mustafa-musawi/benefits-recitation-chapters-holy-quran#surah-al-fatihah-opening - Also it may push towards it, regarding the benefits. Thanks.
