Did I Mispronounce 'Subhana Rabbiyal A'la' as 'Subhana Rabbi al A'la'? Is My Prayer Still Valid?

Assalamu alaikum, everyone. During my salah, I said "Subhana Rabbi al A'la" instead of "Subhana Rabbiyal A'la" – I think I missed the 'ya' sound. I know how it's supposed to be said, but this time I was unsure. I didn't want to repeat the prayer because I thought it might be just waswasa from Shaytan, so I kept going and did sujood as-sahw at the end. Is my prayer still okay?

Ya akhi, I've done the same thing! Sheikh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah mentioned that minor mistakes in recitation don't break the prayer if you don't change the meaning. Chill, you're good.

Bro, don't stress! Missing a small harakah like that doesn't invalidate the prayer, especially if it was unintentional. You did sujood as-sahw, which is the correct thing. May Allah accept it.

Relax, brother. It's still valid. Allah knows your struggle.

Man, I totally relate. Waswasa can be so annoying! You did the right thing by not repeating and just doing sahw. May Allah grant you khushoo' and peace of mind.

Masha'Allah, you care about your prayer, that's a good sign. I asked a local imam about something similar, and he said if it's a slip and you do sahw, the prayer stands. Keep striving, akhi.

Shaytan loves to mess with us during salah, akhi. Sounds like you handled it well. Your intention was pure, and you followed the sunnah with sahw. Insha'Allah it's fine.

Bro, the difference is so minor – it's still glorifying Allah. Scholars say such mistakes don't affect validity if you didn't do it on purpose. And you did sujood as-sahw, so it's all good.
