Doubts in salaah
Question
1. If I make intention of namaaz aloud then I feel that it is not right so I make the intention aloud again. This causes uneasiness. What should I do?
2. In every namaaz I get a doubts of what rakaat it is. I just begin salaah and I start getting doubts. So should I sit for tashahud in all the rakaats and make sajda sahw?
3. Often I get doubts of whether it is 1st sajdah or 2nd sajdah. What must I do?
4. I have doubts whether I said the takbeer tahreema, takbeer, tashahud, durood Ebrahim etc. properly or maybe missed it out.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
