I believe there exists a hadith from Imam Sadegh (as) talking about the believers not eating and wearing the clothes of the enemies of God Almighty. How can we identify which practices are from the enemies and how can we identify the enemies of God?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Identifying the enemies of Allah (SWT) is based on their conflict with the message of Allah, His Prophets and Ahlul Bayt (AS) who are the real successors of the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA).

The practices which are done by them and known by people as part of the life of the enemies of Allah (SWT) must be avoided.

If I keep getting blasphemous thoughts about Allah and the Masoomeen (as), especially Syeda Fatima (s.a), and sometimes even intentionally think or about to say them but stop myself out loud, does that make me a non-believer?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Bad thoughts are from Shaitan. You try to avoid them as much as you can by seeking refuge of Allah أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم.

It is also helpful to recite لا إله إلا الله

أستغفر الله

اللهم صل على محمد وآل محمد

What factors contribute to some Shia believers being born more blessed than others? Is this determined by their own actions, or is it solely by Allah's will?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Allah (SWT) Knows the whole past, present and future deeds. Those who will do more good according to the Knowledge of Allah, will be more blessed. So, it is determined by their actions and by the Will of Allah (SWT) Who is The Mist Merciful.

In Surah Kausar, Allah states Fasalli Lirabbika. What is its meaning and to whom is it addressed? How does it differ from the command of Aqeem al-Salat which appears multiple times directed towards the believers?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Sura Kauthar is addressing the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) himself informing him about the great blessed bounties granted to him ( Lady Fatima ) and refuting his enemies' claim that he is a cut off person (Abtar means with no issue). Fasalli Lirabbika means : So, Pray to Your Lord (Who Granted you the Kauthar).

Aqim Assalat أَقِم الصلاة (Establish Prayers) is the order to all believers while Sura Al-Kauthar is addressing the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) alone.

Wassalam.
