During prayer, should i say ash hadu AN la ilaha il Allah or ash hadu AL la ilaha il Allah?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

ASHHADU ALLA ELAAHAA ELLALLAH. أشهدُ أن لا إله إلا الله

WASSALAM.
During prayer I said "wa aali Muhammad" instead of "wa 'alaa aali Muhammad" in the Salawat. Does this invalidate my prayer if this was done accidently because I forgot?
Zaid Alsalami

Bismihi ta'āla

It will not invalidate your prayer.

And Allah knows best
What is the most beneficial Zikr to practice throughout the day, aside from Quran and Salah? I have heard of phrases like Astaghfirullah, Ayat e Kareema, and Salawat. If one had to be prioritized above the others, which would it be?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

The best Zikr is the Salwaat (ALLAHUMMA SALLI ALA MUHAMMAD WA AALI MUHAMMAD). That is why it is obligatory in every Prayer and no Prayer (Salah) can be valid with out the Salawaat. Hadeeths on the greatness of Salawaat are too many.

Wassalam.
Is it permissible to directly address Allah (swt) in the Tashahhud during my prayers in this way: “الحمد لله أشهد أن لا إله إلا أنت وحدك لا شريك لك وأشهد أن محمدا عبدك ورسولك”?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

No. We must pray as the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) taught us to pray (Pray as you saw me orating صَلّوا كَما رأيتموني أُصَلّي

He was saying Ashhadu ANLA Ilaaha Illallah WAHDAHU Laa Shareeka LAH Wa Ashhadu Anna MUHAMMADAN Abdoho Wa Rasooloh, ALLAHUMMA SALLI Ala Muhammadin Wa AALI Muhammad)

Wassalam.
