raise

Asalamwlykum, I have a question reguarding when making intention, or niyat. Is it necessary to rais your hands as if making duwah and then say it or can you make it in your heart as you are begging to wash your hands or make wudu for instance. I would be very glad if you could answer this question for it has been bugging me for many months now. Asalamwlykum.

As Salaamu Alaikum, I have several questions regarding salat, Insha'Allah you'll be able to help. 1-Is it bidah to raise the hands to shoulders length (palms turned up) and supplicate to Allah? Please give hadith or other proof. 2-I've seen Muslims rise, coming out of ruku and place the right hand over their left, then takbir and go into prostration. Isn't that bidah? I was always taught to relax the limbs when coming out of ruku. 3-All the masajids I've been to when the Imam takbir, all the followers also takbir aloud. Although recently I've seen a leader of salat takbir but no one in the ranks takbir aloud but me, and I was told thats bidah. Is it bidah? Please give proof.
