Ruling on Forgetting the Opening Supplication

Question
Should I prostrate for forgetfulness if I forgot to recite the opening supplication in prayer?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: In our doctrine, we say at the beginning: Glory be to You, O God, and praise be to You, blessed is Your name, and exalted is Your majesty, and there is no deity but You. This is one of the Sunnahs of prayer, and it is not obligatory to perform the prostration of forgetfulness for neglecting the Sunnahs of prayer, but abandoning the Sunnahs is disliked. And God knows best.
