The correct view is that it is permissible to offer Sujud At-Tilawah when reciting one of the Quranic verses of prostration, even at times when prayer is not allowed. Similarly, it is permissible to offer Salat At-Tawbah during these times.

Al-Kawthar has two meanings: 1- It is a river in Paradise which Allah has given to His Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), 2- It is a great cistern – a tank for holding water – which will be set up in the place of gathering on the Day of Resurrection, to which the ummah of Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) will come.

Writing any words of the Quran or Prophetic Hadiths, or the beautiful Names of Allah, on plaques or plates and the like is contrary to the teachings of the Messenger of Allah and the practice of the Companions and the leading scholars of the early generations.

Many Hadiths, supported by the majority of scholars, confirm that a man’s `Awrah in Islam is the area from the navel to the knee.

Scholars unanimously agreed that it is forbidden for one who is in a state of Janabah to pray, and that such a prayer is not valid, regardless of whether he knew that he was in a state of Janabah, or he was unaware of that, or he forgot. However, if he prayed out of ignorance or he forgot, there is no sin on him.
