Bi ismillahir rahmanir raheem

Sister its good to learn about such things but dont push your self when it comes to practicing them. First concentrate on doing what is fard then the sunnah for each of the fard. Do them at a pace you are comfortable with and dont let anyone push you, once you are at ease and not really struggling to maintain the effort then move on to other prayers.

Dont worry to much about the madhhabs you pretty much have to be a lawyer to completely understand exactly why there are four, but having said that it is not beyond the understanding of a person who has the basics of Islam down and an average intelligence.

if you like pm me any questions you may have or post them on this forum and inshall i would be glad to help.

The first Rakah would be fard.

No- the whole set would be Fard prayer whether, it is Fajr's 2, Maghrib's 3, or 4 rakahs for the other 3 prayers.

 You repeat this and after the second prostration in Sujid you recite the Tashahhud, then Taslim

OK
Sister Kay have you done this after doing the wudhu?
Now  the sunnah set will be next but keep on hold for now. Take the baby steps for now. Master the compulsory set as foundation first.

Brother, you can never know everything about Islam. �Knowledge is a lifelong journey.

In Islam there are steps, the first step is know iman (faith) which the first level of iman is "la ilaha illa Allah wa anna Muhammadur rasulullah". �Once you complete this step, you should say shahadah to make it official with Allah because none of us know when we will die and even if you never pray one rakaah but you said shahadah, that is better than studying for a lifetime and never saying shahadah.
