Answer :

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

At the outset, we commend you for your sensitivity on striving to follow the commandments of Allah Ta’ala. 

Kindly clarify how many surahs and verses have you memorized? Have you memorized the last 3 Surahs?

It should be borne in mind that one is not required to recite more than 3 short verses after Surah Fatihah in Salah, Surahs such as Al-Ikhlas (Qul Huwallahu Ahad) will suffice.[1]

فَالفَرْضُ قَرَاءَةُ آيَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ، وَإِنْ كَانَتْ قَصِيْرَةً نَحْوَ قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى: { ثُم نظر } ، وَهَذَا عِنْدَ أَبِي حَنِيْفَةَ، وَعِنْدَهُمَا ثَلاثُ آيَاتٍ قَصِارٍ أَوْ آيَةٍ طَوِيْلَةٍ
