Prayer is a specific act of worship that must be performed in the manner shown by Allah and the Messenger SAW, otherwise it is not accepted.

Summary
Prayer is a specific act of worship that must be performed in the manner shown by Allah and the Messenger SAW, otherwise it is not accepted. Sending blessings upon Prophet Muhammad, his family and Prophet Ibrahim is a form reported from the practice of the Prophet SAW, so the prayer is recited as he taught. The fatwa notes that several narrated wordings exist and urges Muslims to hold firmly to the method he demonstrated.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Dalam erti kata lain, solat kita itu perlulah dibaca apa yang diajar Rasulullah SAW selaku orang paling mengetahui apakah kehendak Allah SWT supaya amal kita diterima.
