When I perform good deeds like praying or doing Dhikr on my fingertips, I worry that others might see me and fear I am being boastful, including when I share my deeds now. Will Allah still accept my actions despite these concerns?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Allah (SWT) Knows fully our intentions and what we do and why we do. When Allah Knows that your worship is not for showing or boasting but only for His Sake, He will reward you according to your intention. Don't allow Shaitan to disturb you by creating baseless doubts in your heart.

When I say Subhanallah the "b" sound sometimes comes out as "p" though I intend for it to be "b". Is my prayer invalid because of this? If so, do I need to repeat all the prayers I performed before realizing this issue?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

No need to repeat your previous Prayers as far as you did not intend the wrong reciting. You need to be careful to recite the right way in your Prayers.

Given the difficulties in following the Imam, challenges in reciting important Duas, discomfort with varying practices, and distractions during audible recitation, is it permissible for me to perform Farz Salah at home to enhance its quality and focus?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Performing Salah with the congregation has great importance in Islam and the reward of Salah with the congregation can not be compared with Salah individually at home. If you feel that praying at home makes you focus more, you can do so in recommended Salah which is double the number of the daily obligatory Prayers. Daily obligatory Prayers are 17 Rak'ats, while the daily recommended Prayers are 34 Rak'ats. It is mentioned in many authentic Hadeeths to perform recommended Prayers at home and perform the daily obligatory Prayers in the Masjid with the congregation (Jama'ah).
