There are four verses in Quran which we must prostrate when we recite or listen to any of them. They are: 1. The last verse in Sura al-'Alaq . 2. The last verse in Sura Najm. 3. A verse in Sura al-Sajda and 4. A verse in Sura Fussilat.

Immediate prostration is must and we don't need to have Wudhu, no facing Qibla in such prostration. Recitation during this prostration is recommended. It can be Subhanallah سبحان الله or Subhana Rabbi al-A'la Wa Bihamdih سبحان ربي الأعلى وبحمده m or any Du'a or Thikr of Allah even saying Ya Allah.

Fajr . Surah . Prostration (sujud) . Sunni-Shi'a . Salat al-Jama’at

Some Shafi'i brothers recite a verse during Fajr prayer that requires Sajdah and go straight into prostration and then stand up again to continue the Surah. Is this allowed in Shia Islam? If I am praying in congregation with them how should I act?

It is not allowed during obligatory Prayer (Salah) to add Rokoo' or Sojood because it will invalidate the Salah. Reciting any of the four verses of obligatory Sajda is not allowed in obligatory Salah. If you do Sajda for reciting or listening to any of the four verses of obligatory Sajda, you Salah becomes invalid and you need to perform the Salah again.

Prostration (sujud)

How is Sajda al-Shukr performed? Are there any other recommended Sajda's and how do I perform them?

Nose . Salah (Prayers) . Prostration (sujud)

Are my prayers considered valid if I did not put my nose on the ground during Sujood though I kept all other body parts on the ground?

Bismihi ta'ala

There are seven of our body parts that need to be fixed on the ground when we do sujud in our wajib prayers.

Tip of our two toes of our two feet.
Our two knees.
Our two palms.
Our forehead.

The eighth, which is our nose is mustahab, to be placed on something that we can do sajdah on, like a turbah.

In the case of your nose being raised from the ground, or on the ground, but on something that is not valid to do sajdah on, then there is no problem and the prayer will be valid.

And Allah knows best.
