Hadith

The obligatory acts of Salah of man and woman are same, except reciting in Fajr, Maghrib and Isha where man should recite with clear voice and woman should whisper. There are few recommended acts for woman and another few recommended acts for man which are mentioned in the narration.

The evidence in Hadeeth prohibits the sinful music which is used in the sinful gatherings. Martial or funeral music is not prohibited.

Yes,our great scholars study every narration and go through the chain of narrators.and classify generation which is narrated by authentic narrator by another authentic narrator till the imam or the Prophet,as Saheeh,fully authentic we also have narrations which are less in its degree which is called Hassan[good].we also have narrations which are called Maqbool or Maqboola which mean’s accepted.we then have a narration which is classified as Mursala when the chain of narrators have a gap.we also have a narrations which are classified as weak when some of the narrators are not authentic or unknown.

We believe that Allah The Exalted does not have a physical shape and He is not limited to a place. Allah SWT said in Quran about Himself  ''LAYSA KA MITHLIHI SHAY'E'' Surah 42 Ayah 11, which means nothing at all is similar to Allah SWT. Allah SWT does not have any objective existence, but he is everywhere, and he mentioned that the most humble of his servants hear on His behalf, and they serve Him and implement His orders. '' Ears'' of Allah SWT are those most pious servants who hear on behalf of Allah. ''Eyes'' of Allah SWT are the most humble servants who Seefor the sake of Allah SWT. ''Hands'' of Allah SWT are those most humble servants who implement the orders of Allah SWT using their hands for the sake of Allah. So there is no Literal meaning in these words at all, but these words should be understood as part of understanding the Arabic language, which uses the words as can be understood as the the literal word.

Yes. There are Quranic verses as well authentic Hadeeths.

'Quranic verses mentioned the similarity between Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) and Prophet Musa (AS) (Verily, We Have Sent to you a Messenger (Muhammad) , who will witness on you, as We sent Musa to Pharaoh as a Messenger) (Sura Al-Muzzammil, verse 15. The successors of Musa were twelve as we read in a Quran (Sura Al-A'raaf, verse 160). These two verses show that as Musa (As) had twelve successors, Muhammad (SAWA) will have twelve successors.

'Authentic Hadeeths narrated in Shia and Sunni books including Bukhari, Muslim , Tirmithi, Musnad Ahmad Bin Hanbal, Mustadrak of Al-Haakim and many others mentioned that the successors after the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) will be twelve .

Imam Ali (AS) did write Hadeeths which he heard from the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA). His book is called Al-Jaami'ah الجامعة. or Kitab Ali.

'It remained after him with the Infallible Imams and now it is with Imam Al-Mahdi (AS).

Ahlul Bayt (AS) encouraged their students to write books in Hadeeth and other fields of knowledge. Four hundred main books were complied by the sydents of Imam Jafar Al-Sadiq (AS) but the enemies destroyed them. We have now Fiur Hadeeth books ( Al-Kaafi, Al-Tahtheen, Al-Istibsaar and Al-Faqeeh) which contain main narrations which are much more than the narrations in Bukhari and Muslim.

Quran states in Sura 3, verse 61 that Ali (AS) is like the self of the Prophet وأنفسنا وأنفسكم. Say: (O Muhammad): Come, let us call our sons and your sins, our women and your women, ourselves and yourselves, then we pray and invoke the curse of Allah upon the liars. The Prophet brought Ali as himself. This means that Ali's status is the greatest after the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA).
The Prophet (SAWA) said to Ali (AS): O Ali, you are from me and I am from you.
- Saheeh Al-Bukhari , Volume 5, page 22.
- Musnad Ahmed ibn Hanbal 1; 98.
- Sunan Al-Bayhaqi ,V.8, P.5.
- Al-Mustadrak Ala Al-Saheehain by Al-Haakim Al-Nisbouri, V.3, P.120.
-Al-Khasaa'iss by Al-Nasaa'i, page 19. And many other Sunni books of Hadeeth.
'This prophetic statement is very clear that Ali is from the Prophet and the Prophet is from Ali. No prophet was having such high status from the Proohet Muhammad (SAWA).
