How can I ensure the correctness and acceptance of my prayers when there are various prayer methods like Shia and Sunni?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

This question comes in performing every religious duty on us as we need to be sure that we do it the correct way. The way to be sure that you follow the most authentic narrations and most authentic Islamic divine leaders among all the different narrations and different leaders. Sunni sects follow Abu Hanifa or Al-Shafi’ or Malik or Ibn Hanbal or Ibn Taymiyyah. Nine of them ever met the Prophet Muhammad or heard from him as all of them were born long after the demise of the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA). Shia Muslims follow the divine leaders from Ahlul Bayt (AS) who lived with the Prophet and narrated the real Sunnah of the Prophet and the real Tafseer of Quranic verses. Following Ahlul Bayt (AS) means following the Prophetic Islam.

Nahjul Balagha is a collection of sayings, sermons and letters of Ameerul Mo’mineen compiled by Al-Shareef Al-Radhi who was one of great scholars in the fifth century after Hijra.

‘Nahjul Balagha does not contain any praise to persons who disobeyed the Prophey especially those who stopped and prevented the Prophet from writing his last will. You can refer to Sunni books like Bukhari and read about this.
