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.

Is Allah called Al-Hadi Al-Mahdi in certain Duas? If the term Mahdi signifies being guided, how can Allah be seen as guided by anyone else?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Al-Haadiالهادي  is one of the Names of Allah (SWT) which means : He, Who guides to the right path.

I don't know any Du'a which calls Allah (SWT) as Al-Mahdi ( The guided). Allah (SWT) is The Guide for every Muslim and no one can guide Him.

If you come across any Dua which call Allah as Al-Mahdi, please send details of it.

Wassalam.
